When & Why to Use This Skill

This Claude skill provides a Trello-like task board specifically designed for AI agents to manage complex, multi-step workflows. It enables persistent state tracking across sessions, allowing agents to organize work into structured lists, set task priorities, and use labels for better categorization, ensuring a clear and manageable path from backlog to completion.

Use Cases

  • Multi-step Software Development: Tracking the progress of feature implementation, from initial coding and debugging to testing and final deployment.
  • Content Creation Pipelines: Managing the lifecycle of articles or reports, moving cards through research, drafting, editing, and publishing stages.
  • Bug Tracking and Resolution: Organizing identified issues by priority and status to ensure critical fixes are addressed systematically during a session.
  • Long-term Research Management: Breaking down broad research objectives into actionable tasks to maintain context and progress over extended AI interactions.

board

Trello-like task board designed for AI agents. Structured JSON output, not human markdown.

Why This Exists

Agents need to track complex work that spans multiple steps. The board provides:

  • Persistent state across sessions
  • Organized workflow (backlog → todo → in_progress → done)
  • Priority tracking
  • Labels for categorization

Quick Reference

Task Tool Example
See board board_list board_list({})
Create card board_add board_add({ title: "Fix bug" })
Update card board_update board_update({ id, priority: "high" })
Move card board_move board_move({ id, list: "done" })
Delete card board_delete board_delete({ id })
Get details board_get board_get({ id })

Default Lists

List Purpose
backlog Ideas, future work
todo Planned for current session
in_progress Currently working on
blocked Waiting on something
done Completed

Priorities

  • low - Nice to have
  • medium - Normal priority (default)
  • high - Important
  • critical - Urgent

Typical Workflow

Starting Work

board_list({})                    // See current state
board_add({ title: "Task 1" })    // Add new card
board_move({ id, list: "todo" })  // Move to todo

During Work

board_move({ id, list: "in_progress" })  // Start working
board_update({ id, labels: ["bug"] })    // Add context
board_move({ id, list: "done" })         // Complete

Filtering

board_list({ list: "in_progress" })      // Current work only
board_list({ priority: "high" })         // High priority
board_list({ labels: ["bug"] })          // Bugs only
board_list({ search: "auth" })           // Search text

Output Format

All tools return structured JSON:

{
  "board": "Board",
  "lists": [{ "id": "todo", "name": "To Do", "cardCount": 3 }],
  "cards": [{ "id": "...", "title": "...", "list": "...", "priority": "..." }],
  "total": 3
}

Storage

Data persists in .board/board.json in the project root.
