board

board is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OpenCoven/coven. It costs 66 tokens per session (863 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shared Markdown task board called BOARD.md for coordinating work between coding agents and people. Its command-line tool records tasks, ownership, completion, and an activity log.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add proposed tasks, claim work, mark tasks finished, view active work, and review recent agent activity.
Why use it?
It prevents agents from losing track of who is doing what or hiding important work in separate conversations. It also keeps a history of board changes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

board scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

BOARD — shared task board

BOARD.md lives at the workspace root. Every active agent (nova, kitty, cody, pi, codex) and Val read and write to it. The activity log at the bottom is append-only — never rewrite it.

Use the bin/board CLI instead of editing the file directly. It preserves the schema, restamps timestamps, and writes a matching activity-log row for every mutation.

When to use

  • Proposing a new task → board add
  • Picking up someone else's task → board claim
  • Finishing work that's on the board → board done
  • Checking what's active before starting work → board list
  • Auditing recent agent activity → board log

When NOT to use

  • One-off TODOs that only matter to your current session → use the conversation's todo tool, not BOARD.md
  • Long-form reflection / dream entries → DREAMS.md
  • Repo-specific implementation plans → plans/{org}/{repo}/<file>.md

Commands

# show one section (or all)
board list
board list today

# add a task to a section
board add today "Move demo script to plans/" --agent nova --ctx "It's at workspace root after demo."

# reassign a task's "by" agent
board claim "demo script" --agent kitty

# flip checkbox to done, move to "Done this week", log it
board done "demo script" --agent kitty

# tail the activity log (default 10 rows, newest first)
board log
board log -n 30

Agent identity

The --agent flag wins. If absent, the CLI reads $OPENCLAW_AGENT. If that's also unset, it defaults to nova. Anything outside the roster (nova, kitty, cody, pi, codex, val) is rejected. Fishy retired on 2026-04-28 and should not be used for new board entries.

Set the env var once per agent session so every command stamps correctly:

export OPENCLAW_AGENT=cody
board add today "Run a competitive scan" --ctx "5 sources, summarize in DREAMS"

Title matching for claim / done

Pass any case-insensitive substring of the task title. If the substring matches more than one task, the CLI lists candidates and exits non-zero — narrow the query and retry.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
