Quickstart · v0.16.12

Get started with FeatureBoard

FeatureBoard is a local, file-backed project board your AI agent actually works: it pulls the next ticket, writes the code, logs the diff and commits per ticket. Your boards are plain markdown you own forever. No SaaS, no login, no lock-in. The only thing that leaves your machine is an anonymous, opt-out usage count, never your board content. Installing takes about a minute.

2 · Point it at a boards folder

On first run FeatureBoard asks where your boards live, defaulting to ~/FeatureBoard. Any subfolder containing a featurelist.md or buglist.md is a board — so an existing folder of markdown works immediately, and a brand-new empty folder is fine too.

It starts in Essential tools only mode (~140 core board tools) to keep your context light. Turn on the full toolset later if you want the website builder, CRM, analytics, and the rest.

3 · Talk to it

There is no UI to learn. Ask for the board, then describe what you want.

“Open the FeatureBoard board.”

The live board renders as an artifact. From there, plain language does the work:

“Log a bug: gallery modal won't dismiss on mouse-out.”

“Brainstorm five onboarding features and add them.”

“Work the next ticket.”

“How's velocity looking this week?”
