+# Quick Asana
+
+_Quick Asana is an unofficial extension that uses the Asana API and is not developed or endorsed by Asana, Inc., the makers of Asana._
+
+Quick Asana is a browser extension to add tasks to [Asana](https://asana.com/) with a single click -- no other UI interaction necessary.
+
+## Creating Tasks
+Create tasks by clicking the extension icon.
+* Click: Create a task in Asana from the current tab and close the tab
+* ⌘-Click: Create a task in Asana from the current tab
+* ⇧-Click: Create a task in Asana from the clipboard contents
+When creating a task from the current tab, Quick Asana will use the page title as the task name, put a link to the page in the notes, and attach a screenshot of the visible tab contents to the task. If there is highlighted text when you click the extension icon, the text will be added to the task notes.
+
+## Setup
+Quick Asana uses [personal access tokens](https://developers.asana.com/docs/personal-access-token) for authentication. Before using the extension the first time, you'll need to provide a token in the extension preferences. You'll then need to choose a workspace and assignee for new tasks.
