Our review

A Trello-like task board designed for AI agents to track and manage work items across sessions.

Strengths

  • Persistent state across sessions
  • Organized workflow with predefined lists (backlog, todo, in_progress, done)
  • Filtering by list, priority, or labels
  • Structured JSON output for easy integration

Limitations

  • Simple board tool, not a full project management system
  • Local JSON file storage, no multi-agent collaboration
  • No synchronization with external tools like Jira or Trello
When to use it

Use this skill when an agent needs to manage a set of tasks with priorities and a clear workflow, with persistence between sessions.

When not to use it

Do not use it if you need integration with existing project management tools or real-time human collaboration.

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.
