What Kanban Board does

The Kanban Board skill allows users to generate a single-screen kanban board that visually organizes tasks into distinct columns. This skill is particularly useful for teams that follow agile methodologies or need a clear overview of project progress. By simply reading the active DESIGN.md, the skill extracts relevant information such as squad names, sprint numbers, and team members to create a tailored task board.

The layout consists of a top bar featuring project breadcrumbs, sprint chips, and a filter row for members, labels, and statuses. Below this, users will find four columns representing different stages of task progress: Backlog, In Progress, In Review, and Done. Each column includes a count of tasks and an affordance to add new tasks. Cards within these columns display essential information such as tags, titles, assignee avatars, point estimates, and progress indicators, providing a comprehensive view of the team's workload.

Additionally, the sidebar includes a collapsible section titled "Sprint Pulse," which offers insights into the project's progress, highlights top assignees, and identifies any blocked tickets. The output is a semantic HTML structure that can be easily integrated into existing applications, making it a versatile tool for project management.

This skill is ideal for project managers, scrum masters, and development teams looking to implement a kanban-style workflow without the need for extensive setup or configuration. It streamlines the process of task visualization and enhances team collaboration by providing a shared view of project status.
