SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It keeps your repository’s delivery board accurate by rebuilding the living board overview from the latest issues, labels, dependencies, and PR linkage—without running a full board command.

Core Features & Use Cases

One comprehensive board scan across open issues (and PR association) to compute current status distribution and linkage gaps.
Board health diagnostics that detect missing metadata, stale items, blocked dependency chains, dependency format inconsistencies, cross-epic dependency issues, and board sync drift.
Automatic lane/dashboard regeneration that recomputes implementation lanes, dependency-waiting partitions, and updates the single meta:board-overview overview issue.

Quick Start

Ask your agent to run the hatch3r-board-refresh skill to regenerate the meta:board-overview dashboard for your repo from its current issue state.

FAQPage Schema

How do I regenerate a GitHub project board dashboard from current issues?▼

You can regenerate a GitHub project board dashboard by scanning open issues and PR linkage to recompute health, implementation lanes, and dependency-based partitions. This updates the living board overview issue with the latest status distribution.

What is a living project board overview?▼

A living project board overview is an automatically updated dashboard issue that reflects your repository's current delivery status. It computes health diagnostics, implementation lanes, and dependency-waiting partitions by scanning open work items and PR linkage.

Does board refresh work with Azure DevOps and GitLab repositories?▼

Yes, board refresh works with Azure DevOps and GitLab repositories where issues drive epics, sub-issues, dependency graphs, and PR linkage signals. It requires reading board configuration from the .hatch3r/hatch.json file to perform a comprehensive cached scan.

How do I detect blocked dependency chains and stale items on my project board?▼

To detect blocked dependency chains and stale items, run a board health diagnostic scan. This evaluates open issues for missing metadata, dependency format inconsistencies, cross-epic dependency issues, and board sync drift, then updates the overview dashboard.

What is the best way to update a project board overview without running a full board command?▼

The best way to update a project board overview without a full board command is to run a board refresh. It performs a cached scan of open work items and PR linkage, recomputes implementation lanes, and syncs the meta:board-overview issue automatically.

Why does my regenerated board overview exclude the meta:board-overview issue from analysis?▼

The board overview excludes the meta:board-overview issue from analysis to prevent self-referential loops and inaccurate health diagnostics. This ensures the dashboard computes status distribution and dependency partitions based solely on actual work items and PR linkage.
