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

# 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

# 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

# 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

# .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

// 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

# Automatically assign cards to agents
npx ruv-swarm github board-auto-assign \
  --strategy "load-balanced" \
  --consider "expertise,workload,availability" \
  --update-cards

2. Progress Tracking

# Track and visualize progress
npx ruv-swarm github board-progress \
  --show "burndown,velocity,cycle-time" \
  --time-period "sprint" \
  --export-metrics

3. Smart Card Movement

# 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

# 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

# Bulk card operations
npx ruv-swarm github board-bulk \
  --filter "status:blocked" \
  --action "add-label:needs-attention" \
  --notify-assignees

Card Templates

# Create cards from templates
npx ruv-swarm github board-template \
  --template "feature-development" \
