Board Canon

Category: General  ·  Sub-category: general-misc  ·  Last updated:
Use whenever any board operation in board-superpowers needs the canonical contract — the 6-state machine, the Card body schema, the branch-naming convention (claim/<N>-<slug>), or the WIP counting formula. This is the read-only source of truth that every other board-superpowers skill consults before transitioning a card, validating a claim, or checking WIP. Use it even when the user doesn't say "schema" or "state machine" — any time card, branch, Status, or WIP comes up, this is what defines the rules.

This skill is the schema authority for the board-superpowers plugin. It answers "what is the contract" — it does not perform actions itself. Other skills consult it before mutating the board.

What this skill does

Board Canon is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/board-canon/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use whenever any board operation in board-superpowers needs the canonical contract — the 6-state machine, the Card body schema, the branch-naming convention (claim/<N>-<slug>), or the WIP counting formula. This is the read-only source of truth that every other board-superpowers skill consults before transitioning a card, validating a claim, or checking WIP.
