What is the Project Board Enforcer skill?

It is a specialized Claude Code capability that mandates the use of GitHub Project boards for all development work, ensuring that no task proceeds without being correctly tracked.

Can work proceed if an issue is not on the board?

No. This skill acts as a hard gate. If an issue is not in the project board with the required fields set, work will be blocked until it is added.

Does it support custom status transitions?

Yes, it includes a validation function that ensures status moves logically from Backlog to Ready, In Progress, In Review, and finally Done.

How does it improve performance?

It uses a caching mechanism (github-api-cache) to store project items and fields locally, allowing Claude to verify issue status and project membership without making redundant API calls.

What project fields does it require?

It specifically requires and manages the 'Status', 'Type', and 'Priority' fields to ensure consistent data across the entire project lifecycle.

协作工具

Standardizes and mandates GitHub Project board compliance as the definitive source of truth for all development tasks.

The Project Board Enforcement skill ensures a strict GitHub-native workflow by making the project board the primary authority for task state. It functions as a mandatory gatekeeper for Claude Code, preventing development work from proceeding unless issues are correctly registered, categorized, and prioritized within a GitHub Project. By leveraging an intelligent caching layer, the skill optimizes performance by performing most verifications with zero API calls, while providing automated status transitions and field management to maintain a clean, organized, and transparent development lifecycle.
