Board Status

Board Status Skill

Purpose

Automatically fetch and summarize GitHub Project board status when the user asks about sprint progress, what's being worked on, or issue tracking. This is a read-only skill.

When Claude Should Use This

• User asks "what's in progress?"
• User asks "board status"
• User asks "sprint status"
• User asks "what's next to work on?"
• User asks "what's blocked?" or "what's awaiting review?"
• User mentions project tracking

Instructions

Get All Board Items

# Using GraphQL (more reliable - doesn't require read:org scope)
gh api graphql -f query='
  query {
    organization(login: "rollercoaster-dev") {
      projectV2(number: 11) {
        items(first: 100) {
          nodes {
            id
            fieldValueByName(name: "Status") {
              ... on ProjectV2ItemFieldSingleSelectValue { name }
            }
            content {
              ... on Issue { number title assignees(first: 5) { nodes { login } } }
              ... on PullRequest { number title }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }'

Get Items by Status

Parse the JSON output and filter by status field name (e.g., "In Progress", "Blocked").
