SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps manage project plans by organizing them into a Kanban board structure within a plans/ directory, making it easy to track progress, identify bottlenecks, and visualize workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Kanban Board Structure: Automatically organizes plans into states (backlog, in-progress, review, done, archived) based on folder names and frontmatter.
  • WIP Limit Tracking: Enforces work-in-progress limits per owner to prevent multitasking and improve focus.
  • Critical Path Analysis: Identifies plans that block others, helping prioritize efforts.
  • Use Case: Ideal for teams managing multiple projects or tasks where visibility into plan status and dependencies is crucial for efficient execution.

Quick Start

Activate the skill and use bash queries to list plans in different stages, such as 'ls plans/10-in-progress/' for active plans.

FAQPage Schema
How do I organize project plans into a Kanban board using a folder structure?

Organize project plans into a Kanban board by moving files across state folders like backlog, in-progress, review, and done within a `plans/` directory. Use `git mv` to manually transition plans between workflow stages.

Can I track work-in-progress limits for team members using frontmatter?

Track work-in-progress limits using frontmatter to assign plan ownership per owner. WIP limit tracking prevents multitasking by enforcing active task limits, improving team focus and identifying workflow bottlenecks.

How do I query the status of plans in different Kanban stages?

Query plan status using bash scripting commands like `ls plans/10-in-progress/` to list active plans. Navigate the folder structure to view plans across backlog, review, done, and archived states.

What is critical path analysis for project plans and how does it identify blockers?

Critical path analysis identifies plans that block others by mapping dependencies within your `plans/` directory. It highlights blocking tasks, helping software development teams prioritize efforts and resolve bottlenecks efficiently.

Does this Kanban workflow require git for moving plans between columns?

Yes, this Kanban workflow requires `git mv` to manually move plan files between state folders. It is designed for software development teams using git workflows for project tracking and version control.

What are the limitations of managing a Kanban board with folder structure and bash?

Limitations include requiring manual file moves with `git mv` and bash scripting for querying plan status. There is no automated drag-and-drop interface, meaning all board transitions are handled through file system operations.
