// Drive the claude-code-kanban browser dashboard from this Claude session. Use this skill when the user mentions "kanban" together with "session" — e.g. "open this session in kanban", "show kanban", "focus current session in kanban", "pin/unpin a session in kanban", "preview this file in kanban", or asks to peek/view a kanban session.
Run code quality checks on the claude-code-kanban project. Use this skill whenever the user wants to check code formatting, linting, or overall code quality for the public/app.js and public/style.css files. Trigger on phrases like "check quality", "lint", "format check", "style check", "quality gates", or any mention of code quality/standards.
This skill should be used when the user wants to create a new release — bump version, tag, push, create GitHub release, and optionally publish to npm. Use when user says "release", "bump version", "publish", "cut a release", or "release candidate".

Use this skill when the user mentions "kanban" together with "session" — e.g. "open this session in kanban", "show kanban", "focus current session in kanban", "pin/unpin a session in kanban", "preview this file in kanban", or asks to peek/view a kanban session. |
| compatibility | Requires the `claude-code-kanban` CLI on PATH and the server running locally (default port 3456). |
Drive the kanban from this Claude session. Every command corresponds to something the user could do in the kanban dashboard.
The current Claude session id is available as ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} (substituted when this skill loads), so the user never needs to look it up.
NOTE, sometimes user prefers npx claude-code-kanban to claude-code-kanban — both work, as long as the CLI is available. Use npx as fallback or when user instructed explicitly.
Primary use case. Pins the active Claude session in the kanban sidebar and switches to the Active tab.
claude-code-kanban session open ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID}
Trigger phrases: "show this session in kanban", "focus current session", "open in kanban".
Pins the active Claude session in the sidebar so it stays visible regardless of filters. Three states: pinned (default), sticky (always at the top), or cleared via --unpin.
claude-code-kanban session pin ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} # pin
claude-code-kanban session pin ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} --sticky # sticky at top
claude-code-kanban session pin ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} --unpin # clear
Trigger phrases: "pin this session", "pin in kanban", "make this session sticky", "unpin session".
claude-code-kanban session pins # all pinned/sticky sessions
claude-code-kanban session pins --sticky # sticky only
claude-code-kanban session pins --json # JSON output
Trigger phrases: "show pinned sessions", "what's pinned", "list pins".
Opens a markdown file in the preview modal:
claude-code-kanban preview <path-to-file.md> --session ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} # prefer this one
Relative paths are fine — the server resolves to absolute.
When the user asks "what's going on in kanban?" or wants stats:
claude-code-kanban session list --active # recent active sessions
claude-code-kanban session list --project <name> # filter by project
claude-code-kanban session view ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} # full stats for current session
claude-code-kanban session peek ${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} --limit 20 # last 20 messages
Add --json to any list-style verb for machine-readable output.
claude-code-kanban (or npm start in the cck repo).PORT=<n> env var when invoking the CLI.${CLAUDE_SESSION_ID} this won't happen.
