task-slice-board 0.1.0

Local CLI and desktop board for turning messy work notes into actionable task slices.

Task Slice Board

Task Slice Board turns messy work notes, issue comments, standup leftovers, and model-written plans into a compact local task board. It is useful when a note has too many bullets and you need to separate quick wins, blockers, next actions, and backlog items before starting work.

It runs fully on your machine. There are no API keys, accounts, or network calls.

Features

• CLI for Markdown, JSON, and self-contained HTML output.
• Tkinter desktop app for pasting notes and saving boards.
• Heuristic scoring for quick wins, blockers, risky tasks, verification work, and deferred items.
• --fail-on-blocked mode for CI or release checklists.
• Standard-library runtime only.

Install

python3 -m pip install task-slice-board

For local development:

python3 -m pip install -e .

Input can also come from stdin:
