Harness Board

Use this skill when the user invokes /board or asks to manage tasks, create epics, move tasks, or check project status on the Harness Board.

What is Harness Board?

A lightweight Kanban board with real-time two-way sync between Claude and a web UI. Tasks live in ~/.harness/board/projects/<slug>.yaml. Claude interacts via MCP tools; humans interact via browser.

MCP Tools Available

Tool	Purpose
`create_project`	Create a new project
`create_epic`	Create an epic under a project
`create_task`	Create a task under an epic
`update_task`	Edit title, description, flags
`move_task`	Change status column
`add_comment`	Post a comment as "claude" or "user"
`list_tasks`	Read board state (filterable)
`link_branch`	Associate branch/worktree with task
`link_commit`	Attach a commit SHA
`request_review`	Flag task ready for human review
`block_task`	Mark blocked with reason
`unblock_task`	Clear blocked status

Usage Patterns

`/board` — Open the board UI

Open the board web UI (requires the board server to be running as a background service):

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/start-board.sh

If the server is not running, the script prints instructions to install it as a persistent launchd service with pnpm board:install.

`/board create <title>` — Create a task

Call list_tasks to find the active project and epic
Call create_task with the current project + epic
Confirm task ID and status to the user

`/board status` — Show current board state

Call list_tasks and format a concise summary grouped by status.

`/board move <task-id> <status>` — Move a task

Call move_task with the appropriate project, task_id, and status.

Workflow Integration

When starting work on a task:

move_task → "in-progress"
link_branch with the worktree branch
Add progress comments via add_comment (author: "claude")
request_review when ready
move_task → "done" after merge

Status Values

backlog — not started
in-progress — being worked on
review — ready for human review
done — complete
