Plans Dashboard

Plans dashboard with progress tracking and timeline visualization.

Usage

• /ck:kanban - View dashboard for ./plans directory
• /ck:kanban <dir> - View dashboard for specific directory
• /ck:kanban --stop - Stop running server

Features

• Plan cards with progress bars
• Phase status breakdown (completed, in-progress, pending)
• Timeline/Gantt visualization
• Activity heatmap
• Issue and branch links

Execution

IMPORTANT: Run server as Claude Code background task using run_in_background: true with the Bash tool. This makes the server visible in /tasks and manageable via KillShell.

The skill is located at .claude/skills/plans-kanban/.

Stop Server

If --stop flag is provided:

node .claude/skills/plans-kanban/scripts/server.cjs --stop

Start Server

Otherwise, run the kanban server as CC background task with --foreground flag (keeps process alive for CC task management):

# Determine plans directory
INPUT_DIR="$1"
PLANS_DIR="${INPUT_DIR:-./plans}"

# Start kanban dashboard
node .claude/skills/plans-kanban/scripts/server.cjs \
  --dir "$PLANS_DIR" \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --open \
  --foreground

Critical: When calling the Bash tool:

• Set run_in_background: true to run as CC background task
• Set timeout: 300000 (5 minutes) to prevent premature termination
• Parse JSON output and report URL to user

Example Bash tool call:

{
  "command": "node .claude/skills/plans-kanban/scripts/server.cjs --dir \"./plans\" --host 0.0.0.0 --open --foreground",
  "run_in_background": true,
  "timeout": 300000,
  "description": "Start kanban server in background"
}

After starting, parse the JSON output and report:

• Local URL for browser access
• Network URL for remote device access (if available)
• Inform user that server is now running as CC background task (visible in /tasks)

CRITICAL: MUST display the FULL URL including path and query string. NEVER truncate to just host:port.

Future Plans

The /ck:kanban command will evolve into VibeKanban-inspired AI agent orchestration:

Phase 1 (Current - MVP)

• Task board with progress tracking
• Visual representation of plans/tasks
• Click to view plan details

Phase 2 (Worktree Integration)

• Create tasks → spawn git worktrees
• Assign agents to tasks
• Track agent progress per worktree

Phase 3 (Full Orchestration)

• Parallel agent execution monitoring
• Code diff/review interface
• PR creation workflow
• Agent output streaming
• Conflict detection
