What problem does it solve?
Teams and individuals who author implementation plans as markdown files often lack a simple, local interface to visualize overall progress, phases, and timelines; this Skill turns scattered plan.md directories into a centralized, interactive dashboard for quick project visibility and tracking.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Visual kanban board that groups plans by status with compact plan cards and progress bars for each plan.
- Gantt-style timeline with layered bars, today marker, and activity heatmap to inspect schedule and duration.
- Rich metadata extraction from YAML frontmatter and plan tables (dates, effort, priority, issue links, tags).
- Local Node background server with API (/api/plans), static assets, safe file serving, and options for remote access and auto-opening the browser.
- Use cases: sprint planning review, milestone tracking, pre-release visibility across multiple feature folders, or embedding into local tooling for offline demos.
Quick Start
Start the plans-kanban server for the directory ./plans after installing npm dependencies so you can open the interactive dashboard in your browser.
