File contents

PikaBoard

Agent-first task/kanban dashboard. PikaBoard is the source of truth for tasks.

Quick Start

After install, start the server:

cd pikaboard/backend && npm start

Access dashboard at http://localhost:3001

Configuration

Create backend/.env:

DATABASE_PATH=./pikaboard.db
PIKABOARD_TOKEN=your-secret-token
PORT=3001

Add to your TOOLS.md:

## PikaBoard
- **API:** http://localhost:3001/api/
- **Token:** your-secret-token

Agent runtime variables:

export PIKABOARD_API="http://localhost:3001/api"
export PIKABOARD_TOKEN="your-secret-token"
export AGENT_NAME="bulbi"

Task Commands

Reference tasks by ID:

task 12 or #12 → view task
move #12 to done → status change
create task "Fix bug" → new task

API Reference

See backend/API.md for full endpoint documentation (single canonical doc).

Common Operations

List tasks:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN" "$PIKABOARD_API/tasks"

Create task:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Fix bug","status":"inbox","priority":"high","tags":["bug","backend"]}' \
  "$PIKABOARD_API/tasks"

Update status:

curl -X PATCH -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status":"done"}' \
  "$PIKABOARD_API/tasks/123"

Enums

Field	Values
status	`inbox`, `up_next`, `in_progress`, `testing`, `in_review`, `done`, `rejected`
priority	`low`, `medium`, `high`, `urgent`

Agent Onboarding (Simple Path)

Use the helper to map each agent to a board automatically:

cd pikaboard
MY_BOARD_ID="$(
  ./skills/pikaboard/scripts/setup-agent-board.sh | sed -n 's/^MY_BOARD_ID=//p' | tail -n1
)"
export MY_BOARD_ID

What it does:

Reads PIKABOARD_API, PIKABOARD_TOKEN, AGENT_NAME
Finds board by BOARD_NAME (default: AGENT_NAME)
Creates board if missing
Prints MY_BOARD_ID=<id>
Verifies GET /api/tasks?board_id=<id>&status=up_next

Optional:

export BOARD_NAME="Bulbi"
export BOARD_ENV_FILE="$HOME/.openclaw/agents/bulbi/.pikaboard.env"
./skills/pikaboard/scripts/setup-agent-board.sh

Multi-Agent Setup

Each agent can have their own board. Use board_id parameter:

curl "$PIKABOARD_API/tasks?board_id=6" -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN"

Board assignments:

Board 1: Pika (main)
Board 2: Tortoise (personal)
Board 3: Sala (work)
Board 4: Evoli (VirtualPyTest)
Board 5: Psykokwak (EZPlanning)
Board 6: Bulbi (PikaBoard)
Board 7: Mew (Ideas)

Validation Checklist

Run after setup:

# 1) API reachable
curl -s http://localhost:3001/health

# 2) Auth works
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN" "$PIKABOARD_API/boards"

# 3) Board mapping works
echo "$MY_BOARD_ID"

# 4) Agent can read own queue
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN" \
  "$PIKABOARD_API/tasks?board_id=$MY_BOARD_ID&status=up_next"
