Kanboard
Use flowbot kanban for capability kanboard. Prefer the workflows below; load references/cli.md only when you need a flag or subcommand not covered here.
Setup
- Ensure CLI auth:
flowbot login
- Set server via
FLOWBOT_SERVER_URL or --server-url; optional --profile, --debug / -d
- Prefer
-o json when parsing results programmatically
Workflows
Create a task with subtasks
When a user wants to create a well-structured task:
flowbot kanban column list -p 1
flowbot kanban create -t "<task title>" -d "<description>" -p 1 -c <column_id>
flowbot kanban subtask create <task_id> -t "<subtask 1>" -e <minutes>
flowbot kanban subtask create <task_id> -t "<subtask 2>" -e <minutes>
Review and triage tasks
When reviewing the current board state:
flowbot kanban list -s active
flowbot kanban get <task_id>
flowbot kanban subtask list <task_id>
- Summarize task status, subtask completion, and suggest next actions.
Troubleshooting
| Error | Fix |
