File contents

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.
