agent-project-board-sync
The project-board-sync skill synchronizes AI swarms with GitHub Projects, enabling visual task management and progress tracking. Use this skill when coordinating multi-agent workflows that need real-time status updates, bidirectional task synchronization, and team visibility across GitHub's project boards and issue tracking system.

# Project Board Sync - GitHub Projects Integration
## Overview
Synchronize AI swarms with GitHub Projects for visual task management, progress tracking, and team coordination.
## Core Features
### 1. Board Initialization
```bash
# Connect swarm to GitHub Project using gh CLI
# Get project details
PROJECT_ID=$(gh project list --owner @me --format json | \
jq -r '.projects[] | select(.title == "Development Board") | .id')
# Initialize swarm with project
npx ruv-swarm github board-init \
--project-id "$PROJECT_ID" \
--sync-mode "bidirectional" \
--create-views "swarm-status,agent-workload,priority"
# Create project fields for swarm tracking
gh project field-create $PROJECT_ID --owner @me \
--name "Swarm Status" \
--data-type "SINGLE_SELECT" \
--single-select-options "pending,in_progress,completed"
```
### 2. Task Synchronization
```bash
# Sync swarm tasks with project cards
npx ruv-swarm github board-sync \
--map-status '{
"todo": "To Do",
"in_progress": "In Progress",
"review": "Review",
"done": "Done"
}' \
--auto-move-cards \
--update-metadata
```
### 3. Real-time Updates
```bash
# Enable real-time board updates
npx ruv-swarm github board-realtime \
--webhook-endpoint "https:/$api.example.com$github-sync" \
--update-frequency "immediate" \
--batch-updates false
```
## Configuration
### Board Mapping Configuration
```yaml
# .github$board-sync.yml
version: 1
project:
name: "AI Development Board"
number: 1
mapping:
# Map swarm task status to board columns
status:
pending: "Backlog"
assigned: "Ready"
in_progress: "In Progress"
review: "Review"
completed: "Done"
blocked: "Blocked"
# Map agent types to labels
agents:
coder: "🔧 Development"
tester: "🧪 Testing"
analyst: "📊 Analysis"
designer: "🎨 Design"
architect: "🏗️ Architecture"
# Map priority to project fields
priority:
critical: "🔴 Critical"
high: "🟡 High"
medium: "🟢 Medium"
low: "⚪ Low"
# Custom fields
fields:
- name: "Agent Count"
type: number
source: task.agents.length
- name: "Complexity"
type: select
source: task.complexity
- name: "ETA"
type: date
source: task.estimatedCompletion
```
### View Configuration
```javascript
// Custom board views
{
"views": [
{
"name": "Swarm Overview",
"type": "board",
"groupBy": "status",
"filters": ["is:open"],
"sort": "priority:desc"
},
{
"name": "Agent Workload",
"type": "table",
"groupBy": "assignedAgent",
"columns": ["title", "status", "priority", "eta"],
"sort": "eta:asc"
},
{
"name": "Sprint Progress",
"type": "roadmap",
"dateField": "eta",
"groupBy": "milestone"
}
]
}
```
## Automation Features
### 1. Auto-Assignment
```bash
# Automatically assign cards to agents
npx ruv-swarm github board-auto-assign \
--strategy "load-balanced" \
--consider "expertise,workload,availability" \
--update-cards
```
### 2. Progress Tracking
```bash
# Track and visualize progress
npx ruv-swarm github board-progress \
--show "burndown,velocity,cycle-time" \
--time-period "sprint" \
--export-metrics
```
### 3. Smart Card Movement
```bash
# Intelligent card state transitions
npx ruv-swarm github board-smart-move \
--rules '{
"auto-progress": "when:all-subtasks-done",
"auto-review": "when:tests-pass",
"auto-done": "when:pr-merged"
}'
```
## Board Commands
### Create Cards from Issues
```bash
# Convert issues to project cards using gh CLI
# List issues with label
ISSUES=$(gh issue list --label "enhancement" --json number,title,body)
# Add issues to project
echo "$ISSUES" | jq -r '.[].number' | while read -r issue; do
gh project item-add $PROJECT_ID --owner @me --url "https:/$github.com/$GITHUB_REPOSITORY$issues/$issue"
done
# Process with swarm
npx ruv-swarm github board-import-issues \
--issues "$ISSUES" \
--add-to-column "Backlog" \
--parse-checklist \
--assign-agents
```
### Bulk Operations
```bash
# Bulk card operations
npx ruv-swarm github board-bulk \
--filter "status:blocked" \
--action "add-label:needs-attention" \
--notify-assignees
```
### Card Templates
```bash
# Create cards from templates
npx ruv-swarm github board-template \
--template "feature-development" \
--variables '{
"feature": "User Authentication",
"priority": "high",
"agents": ["architect", "coder", "tester"]
}' \
--create-subtasks
```
## Advanced Synchronization
### 1. Multi-Board Sync
```bash
# Sync across multiple boards
npx ruv-swarm github multi-board-sync \
--boards "Development,QA,Release" \
--sync-rules '{
"Development->QA": "when:ready-for-test"Agent skill for adaptive-coordinator - invoke with $agent-adaptive-coordinator
