About

A CLI skill that manages Zergboard cards, boards, sprints/cycles, and workspaces through the Zergboard REST API. A developer uses it to check assigned tasks, create or move cards, and manage guests without leaving the terminal.

  • Commands cover my-cards, boards, cards, cycles, search, create/update/move/reorder, comments, and guest invites
  • Reads a local config.json token; all output is JSON for piping

Zergboard Skill — Card & Board Management

Read, search, and manage Zergboard cards via the REST API. Lists workspaces (organizations), boards, cards, comments; supports create / update / move / reorder; works with workspace members and per-board guests.

First-Time Setup (~2 minutes)

1. Create an API token

In the Zergboard UI:

1. Sign in at https://zergboard.fly.dev (or your local instance) 2. Open the CLI README's instructions — or use the Zergboard CLI directly:

   cd zerg-stack/zergboard/cli/zb
   go build -o zb && ./zb login --email you@example.com --password '...'
   ./zb token create --name claude --org-id <org-id> --scopes org:read,org:write,org:admin

3. Copy the printed token (starts with zb_).

2. Save token

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill
cat > ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/config.json <<EOF
{
  "base_url": "https://zergboard.fly.dev",
  "api_token": "zb_..._...",
  "default_organization_id": "<optional-uuid>"
}
EOF

base_url defaults to https://zergboard.fly.dev if omitted. default_organization_id is optional — when set, commands that take a workspace can use the default. Tokens may also be workspace-bound (created with --org-id); when bound, every call must reference that workspace.

Commands

All commands print JSON to stdout for easy piping.

My cards

Cards assigned to me across every board I can see (workspace member or board guest).

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py my-cards [--status STATUS] [--limit N]

--status: todo · in_progress · done · canceled

Workspaces

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py workspaces

Boards

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py boards [WORKSPACE]

WORKSPACE accepts a workspace name, slug, or UUID; defaults to the configured default_organization_id.

Cards on a board

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py cards BOARD [--status STATUS] [--priority P] [--limit N]

BOARD accepts a board UUID, name, or card prefix (e.g. CES).

Card details

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py card CARD_ID

CARD_ID accepts the card UUID or its external id (e.g. CES-1).

Cycles (sprints)

Active cycle:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py cycle BOARD

All cycles for a board:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py cycles BOARD [--limit N]

Search

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py search "query" [--workspace WORKSPACE] [--board BOARD] [--limit N]

Substring match across title, description, and external id.

Create a card

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py create BOARD --title "Title" \
  [--description "..."] [--priority urgent|high|medium|low] [--column "Backlog"] [--assignee EMAIL]

If --column is omitted the card is placed in the first column.

Update a card

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py update CARD_ID \
  [--title "..."] [--description "..."] [--priority P] [--due 2026-05-01] [--estimate 3]

Move a card to a different column

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py move CARD_ID --column "In Progress" [--position 0]

Reorder cards within a column

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py reorder CARD1 CARD2 CARD3 ...

All cards must currently be in the same column. The first id ends up at the top of the lane.

Comments

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py comments CARD_ID
python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py comment CARD_ID --body "..."

Invite a guest to a board

python3 ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/zergboard_skill.py invite-guest BOARD --email guest@example.com [--role viewer|editor|admin]

If the email belongs to an existing user they're added immediately; otherwise an invite link is emailed.

Output

All commands emit JSON. Card output includes:

  • external_id — the human-readable id (e.g. CES-1)
  • title, description
  • status, priority, state_kind, state_name
  • column_name
  • board_id, board_name, board_card_prefix
  • organization_id, organization_name

Status / Priority values

Status (board state kind):

  • todo — Not yet started
  • in_progress — Active work
  • done — Completed
  • canceled — Won't do

Priority:

  • urgent
  • high
  • medium
  • low

Requirements

Python standard library only.

Security

  • Tokens don't expire by default but can be revoked from the Zergboard UI under workspace settings → API tokens.
  • Stored locally in ~/.claude/skills/zergboard-skill/config.json.
  • Workspace-bound tokens cannot reach boards in other workspaces.
