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" \ --variables '{ "feature": "User Authentication", "priority": "high", "agents": ["architect", "coder", "tester"] }' \ --create-subtasks Advanced Synchronization 1. Multi-Board Sync
Sync across multiple boards
npx ruv-swarm github multi-board-sync \ --boards "Development,QA,Release" \ --sync-rules '{ "Development->QA": "when:ready-for-test", "QA->Release": "when:tests-pass" }' 2. Cross-Organization Sync
Sync boards across organizations
npx ruv-swarm github cross-org-sync \ --source "org1/Project-A" \ --target "org2/Project-B" \ --field-mapping "custom" \ --conflict-resolution "source-wins" 3. External Tool Integration
Sync with external tools
npx ruv-swarm github board-integrate \ --tool "jira" \ --mapping "bidirectional" \ --sync-frequency "5m" \ --transform-rules "custom" Visualization & Reporting Board Analytics
Generate board analytics using gh CLI data
Fetch project data
PROJECT_DATA
$( gh project item-list $PROJECT_ID --owner @me --format json )
Get issue metrics
ISSUE_METRICS
$( echo " $PROJECT_DATA " | jq -r '.items[] | select(.content.type == "Issue")' | \ while read -r item ; do ISSUE_NUM = $( echo " $item " | jq -r '.content.number' ) gh issue view $ISSUE_NUM --json createdAt,closedAt,labels,assignees done )
