Features

Board pane

Run `/board` to open a pane that shows the In Progress, Blocked and Review entries of your Markdown kanban board.

The pane has three tabs: **This project**, **All** and **Backlog**. **This project** shows only the entries whose tags are linked to the folder where you started Claude Code. See [Your board file](#your-board-file) for how to link them.

In a folder that is not linked, there is no **This project** tab, and **All** is shown as **Board**.

"Please look" list

The mod gives Claude a tool called `ask_to_look`. When Claude finishes something you should check, such as a report, a page or an image, it adds the item to the list and opens it right away. See [Opening files](#opening-files) for what it opens and what it does not.

The list appears only on the leftmost tab. On **This project**, it shows only the items added from the folder where you started Claude Code, or from a folder above or below it. In a folder that is not linked, the leftmost tab is **Board**, and it shows the items added from all sessions.

Press **Open** to view an item again, or **Done** to remove it. The list keeps the 15 most recent items and drops older ones.
