RouteDescription
/ route or ck:kanban skillDashboard view

Remote Access

When using --host 0.0.0.0, the server auto-detects your local network IP:

{
  "success": true,
  "url": "http://localhost:3500/kanban?dir=...",
  "networkUrl": "http://192.168.2.75:3500/kanban?dir=...",
  "port": 3500
}

Use networkUrl to access from other devices on the same network.

Plan Structure

The dashboard scans for directories containing plan.md files:

plans/
├── 251215-feature-a/
│   ├── plan.md              # Required - parsed for phases
│   ├── phase-01-setup.md
│   └── phase-02-impl.md
├── 251214-feature-b/
│   └── plan.md
└── templates/               # Excluded by default

Troubleshooting

Port in use: Server auto-increments from 3500-3550

No plans found: Ensure directories contain plan.md files

Remote access denied: Use --host 0.0.0.0 to bind all interfaces

PID files: Located at /tmp/plans-kanban-*.pid
