Visual task management — kanban board, agent status, progress dashboard.
Purpose
The command center for multi-agent workspaces. Renders a terminal-based view of all active work: who's doing what, what's blocked, what's done, and how much budget remains. Three view modes: kanban (task-centric), agents (agent-centric), and summary (metrics-centric). Designed for the orchestrator to maintain situational awareness.
Usage
/board
/board agents
/board summary
/board --status in_progress
/board --agent researcher
/board --watch
/board --compact
Arguments
| Subcommand | Description |
|---|
| (default) | Kanban board view |
agents | Agent-centric tiled view |
summary | Metrics dashboard |
| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
|---|
--status | enum[] | all | Filter: backlog, ready, in_progress, blocked, done |
--agent | string | all | Filter to specific agent |
--watch | flag | false | Auto-refresh every 5 seconds |
--compact | flag | false | Condensed view for small terminals |
--since | duration | 24h | Time window for completed tasks |

--show-timeline | flag | false | Show task timeline (Gantt-style) |
Workflow
- Collect — Read task store, agent registry, checkout locks, budget tracker, and heartbeat status.
- Aggregate — Group tasks by status. Map tasks to agents. Calculate budget percentages. Detect anomalies (stalled agents, overdue tasks).
- Render — Display in the requested view mode with ANSI colors for terminal rendering.
- Watch — If
--watch, clear and re-render every 5 seconds. Highlight changes since last refresh.
