board

A lightweight Kanban board with real-time two-way sync between Claude and a web UI. Tasks live in ~/.harness/board/projects/<slug>.yaml. Claude interacts via MCP tools; you interact via browser.

Requirements

  • Node.js (for the board server — installed as part of harness-kit desktop or via pnpm board:install)

Install

/plugin marketplace add harnessprotocol/harness-kit
/plugin install board@harness-kit

Usage

Open the board UI

/board

Launches the board web UI. If the server is not running, the plugin prints instructions to install it as a persistent launchd service.

Create a task

/board create Fix login redirect bug

Creates a task in the active project and epic. Returns the task ID.

Check board status

/board status

Shows a summary of all tasks grouped by status column.

Workflow Integration

  2. Post progress comments as work proceeds
  3. Flag request_review when done
  4. Move to done after merge
