Kanban Board

The built-in kanban board gives you a visual overview of all tickets across workflow columns. View it in the terminal, export it as markdown, or open it in Obsidian.

Board Modes

Mode	Command	Description
`Terminal`	prlt board view	Rich terminal rendering with colors and priority badges
`Markdown`	prlt board markdown	Export as markdown table for sharing
`Obsidian`	prlt board open	Open in Obsidian as a kanban plugin board
`Watch`	prlt board watch	Live-updating view that refreshes as tickets move

Live Watching

Watch mode refreshes the board automatically as agents move tickets through columns:

# Watch the board for real-time updates
$ prlt board watch

Tip

Use prlt board watch in a dedicated terminal pane while agents are running to see tickets flow through the pipeline.

Exporting

# Export as markdown
$ prlt board markdown > board.md

# Export board data
$ prlt board export

Syncing from Markdown

Edit the board in markdown and sync changes back:

# Export, edit, then sync back
$ prlt board markdown > board.md
$ vim board.md  # Move tickets between columns
$ prlt board sync board.md

Project Boards

Each project has its own board. Use the --project flag to scope board operations:

# View a specific project's board
$ prlt board view --project my-project

# List all projects
$ prlt project list
