Taskboardai Skill

What This Skill Does

The Taskboardai Skill by hyddd integrates the TaskBoardAI Kanban system directly into your OpenClaw agent workflow. This skill acts as your project management backbone, allowing you to organize, track, and complete tasks with precision. It uses a structured Kanban board methodology, which is vital for maintaining context and productivity during complex multi-step AI tasks. By utilizing the 'To Do', 'In Progress', 'Blocked', and 'Done' columns, the agent ensures that no task is forgotten and every action is tracked.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hyddd/taskboardai-skill Ensure your OpenClaw environment has Node.js installed, as the MCP server relies on the execution of the kanbanMcpServer.js script located in your node_modules directory.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for complex research, coding projects, or content development. For example, if you are working on a multi-part software module, the agent can create individual tasks for coding, testing, and documentation. It prevents the 'forgotten task' syndrome by keeping a persistent state of the project status. It is also highly effective for long-running processes where you need to verify what the agent is currently working on versus what remains in the queue.

Example Prompts

1. "I need to build a landing page. Please add tasks for designing the header, writing the copy, and setting up the API endpoint to the taskboard."
2. "I am stuck on the deployment phase because of an authentication error. Move the current task to Blocked and document the reason in the card content."
3. "I have finished the user authentication module. Please summarize the implementation details in the card and move the task to Done."

Tips & Limitations

To get the most out of Taskboardai, always ensure you follow the lifecycle rules. The most critical rule is the distinction between 'description' and 'content'; always use the 'content' field for your actual work results to maintain a clean project history. Remember that the agent needs explicit instructions to move cards. If you find your agent is working on a task but has not moved it to 'In Progress', remind it of the lifecycle rules. This skill does not automatically detect system errors; you must manually trigger the 'Block' status if an external dependency fails. Keep your task titles concise and use the 'content' field for the deep-dive technical summaries required for later review.
