GitHub Project Board Skill

Automate GitHub issue movement by executing CLI commands to shift items between Todo, In Progress, Testing, Review, and Done columns. This skill orchestrates kanban workflows by batching issue updates and synchronizing project statuses without manual board interaction.

You need a local shell environment with gh CLI and jq installed, plus a project configuration file at .claude/config/project-board.json. These prerequisites allow the system to read project data and execute batch updates on your kanban boards.

Yes, you can batch update multiple GitHub issues in a single command to accelerate sprint progress. The skill orchestrates issues across columns, allowing teams to move items simultaneously rather than updating each issue individually.

Initialize, track, and resume sprint progress using GitHub Project V2 data and milestones. The skill reads your project configuration to synchronize kanban board statuses, ensuring sprint tracking remains accurate across Todo, In Progress, Testing, Review, and Done columns.

The best way to keep GitHub Project V2 board statuses synchronized is automating issue movement across kanban columns via shell commands. This approach reads project configuration files to orchestrate issues, preventing manual update errors and maintaining sprint data accuracy.

Using gh CLI and jq for kanban workflow automation provides direct shell-based access to GitHub Projects V2. This combination reads JSON configuration files to execute batch updates and initialize sprints, offering lightweight project board management without leaving the local environment.
