Connect Nazgul task tracking to an external project board (GitHub Projects, Azure DevOps, etc). Use when user says "connect to github projects", "set up board", "track on github", or "nazgul board".
Start or resume a Nazgul autonomous development loop. Use when user says "start nazgul", "run nazgul", "begin development", "resume the loop", or passes an objective for new work. Auto-detects project state — no arguments needed.
Check the current state of a Nazgul autonomous loop. Use when asked about loop progress, task status, iteration count, review board status, or how the Nazgul loop is going.
Run one Nazgul automation-heartbeat tick — triages the work inbox and auto-starts the next objective if idle. Opt-in and default-off; fired by an optional Claude Code native scheduled agent (routine) or run by hand. Use when asked to "run a heartbeat tick", "check the inbox", or to test/debug the heartbeat.
View Nazgul run history — iteration timeline, task completions, review verdicts, git commits. Use after an overnight run to see what happened.
Brainstorm a new idea/objective into a Nazgul spec and tasks, then optionally run it. Interactive design front-end — produces a per-idea spec and a ready-to-execute task plan.
