Wrike CLI

Manage Wrike tasks, projects, folders, and comments. All commands return JSON: {"ok": true, "data": ...} on success, {"ok": false, "error": "..."} on failure.

Setup

claw-wrike config set --token <WRIKE_TOKEN>
# Auto-detects US/EU data center. Token is stored in ~/.claw-wrike/config.json

Quick Reference

claw-wrike <entity> <command> [--flags]

Account & Spaces

claw-wrike account                          # Account info (name, root folder ID, etc.)
claw-wrike space list                       # List all spaces
claw-wrike space get --id <id>              # Get a space

Folders & Projects

Wrike treats folders and projects as the same entity. Projects are folders with extra properties (owners, dates, status).

claw-wrike folder list                      # List all folders (tree structure)
claw-wrike folder list --space <id>         # List folders in a space
claw-wrike folder list --parent <id>        # List child folders
claw-wrike folder get --id <id>             # Get folder details

claw-wrike folder create --parent <id> --title "Folder name"
claw-wrike folder create --parent <id> --title "Project name" --project
claw-wrike folder create --parent <id> --title "Project name" --project --owner <contactId> --start-date 2026-03-01 --end-date 2026-06-01
claw-wrike folder create --parent <id> --title "Folder name" --dry-run   # Preview without creating

claw-wrike folder update --id <id> --title "New title"
claw-wrike folder update --id <id> --description "New description"
claw-wrike folder update --id <id> --add-parent <folderId>              # Move into another parent
claw-wrike folder update --id <id> --remove-parent <folderId>           # Remove from a parent
claw-wrike folder update --id <id> --dry-run                            # Preview without updating

claw-wrike folder delete --id <id>                                      # Moves to recycle bin
claw-wrike folder delete --id <id> --dry-run                            # Preview without deleting

Tasks

claw-wrike task list                        # List tasks (default: 100, Active)
claw-wrike task list --folder <id>          # Tasks in a folder/project

claw-wrike task update --id <id> --add-assignee "Jane"
claw-wrike task update --id <id> --remove-assignee "Jane"
claw-wrike task update --id <id> --due 2026-04-01 --importance Low
claw-wrike task update --id <id> --status <customStatusId>
claw-wrike task update --id <id> --dry-run                           # Preview without updating

claw-wrike task delete --id <id>                                     # Moves to recycle bin
claw-wrike task delete --id <id> --dry-run                           # Preview without deleting

Comments

claw-wrike comment list --task <id>         # List comments on a task
claw-wrike comment add --task <id> --text "Comment text"
claw-wrike comment update --id <id> --text "Updated text"
claw-wrike comment delete --id <id>

Contacts, Workflows, Custom Fields

claw-wrike contact list                     # All contacts (users) in the account
claw-wrike contact get --id <id>            # Single contact details
claw-wrike workflow list                    # Workflows with custom statuses
claw-wrike customfield list                 # All custom field definitions

Utilities

claw-wrike lookup --permalink <url>         # Resolve a Wrike permalink to task details
claw-wrike cache refresh                    # Force refresh cached contacts/workflows/fields
claw-wrike config show                      # Show current config (token masked)

Important Notes

• IDs: Wrike API IDs are alphanumeric strings like IEABMHYCI5P7AYDW. They are NOT the numeric IDs in permalink URLs.
• Assignee resolution: Use names ("Jane", "Jane Doe") or IDs. Names are resolved via cached contacts.
• Custom statuses: Use claw-wrike workflow list to find custom status IDs, then pass them to --status.
• Folders = Projects: A project is a folder with a project property. Use folder commands for both.
• Tasks can have multiple parents: A task can belong to multiple folders/projects.
• Dry run: Use --dry-run on create/update commands to see the API call without executing it.
• Rate limit: ~400 requests/minute. The CLI handles rate limiting and retries automatically.

Before Any Operation

1. Use claw-wrike space list or claw-wrike folder list to find the right container ID.
2. Use claw-wrike workflow list to understand available statuses before changing task status.
3. Use claw-wrike task get --id <id> to read current state before updating.

NEVER

• Never guess task or folder IDs. Always look them up first.
• Never update tasks without reading their current state.
• Never bulk-modify tasks without user confirmation.
