Workflow

How features move through their lifecycle

Claude Code Plugin Integration

Install VirtualBoard as a Claude Code plugin to get AI agents that understand and follow this workflow automatically:

claude plugin marketplace add virtualboard/template-base
claude plugin install virtualboard

Once installed, AI agents will automatically adopt specialized roles (PM, Architect, Developer, QA, etc.) and have access to 29+ commands to manage features through the lifecycle.

How It Works

The VirtualBoard Feature Spec Workflow uses a simple but powerful system where features move through clearly defined states, with each state represented by a folder location. This makes it easy for both humans and AI agents to understand the current state of any feature.

1
Create Feature
New features start in the backlog with a unique FTR-ID and structured Markdown spec
2
Assign & Start
Agents claim features by moving them to in-progress with ownership tracking
3
Implement
Work on implementation, updating the spec with progress and links to PRs
4
Review
Move to review status when ready for human review and testing
5
Complete
Mark as done when merged and deployed, with full audit trail
