Why this level
- The skill creates a board with a database and, for self-hosting, a server and access tokens.

What it does
From the phrase "set up a task board" the skill installs a board shared by a team and all agents. The board lives either as a claude.ai artifact for Claude Code signed in with claude.ai, or as a self-hosted site for Claude Code, Codex and any MCP client on SQLite or Supabase, in Docker or on Vercel. The page holds a document, a kanban and a dependency graph highlighting the longest remaining chain, plus discussion threads and notices. Agents claim tasks with version-checked writes, so two sessions never take the same task. The self-hosted version has a code map built without a model: the agent asks `board_map` instead of grepping files. Views are drawn by code rather than by a model.
Who it is for. Small teams where several people run several agent sessions on one codebase.
Good fit when
- You need to see who took which task and what is blocked while you were away.
- Agents claim tasks without duplicates thanks to version-checked writes.
- Decisions and handoffs are recorded in board threads.
- Two open tasks on the same code warn each other through the code map.
Not a fit when
- You work alone and a simple task list is enough.
- You need a cloud dashboard with ready enterprise-grade access control.
- Tasks cannot be stored on third-party services such as claude.ai or Supabase.
Example request
Set up artiboard for this project: a board for three people, English language, take the first tasks from the TODO.Limitations
The claude.ai artifact variant targets Claude Code signed in to claude.ai, and everything else connects through the self-hosted site. The code map exists only in the self-hosted version and is built from a local checkout. Teammates join an artifact through the Share menu and a self-hosted site with a token an admin issues. Before installing read `FOR_AGENTS.md`: the agent follows its steps and asks about team size and board language.
How to disable. Delete the skill folder `~/.claude/skills/artiboard` or `~/.codex/skills/artiboard`. For a self-hosted site stop the server and delete the SQLite database or the Supabase project.
FAQ
How do I install artiboard?
Paste a request into Claude Code to follow `FOR_AGENTS.md`, or clone the repository into `$HOME/.artiboard/src` and copy `skills/artiboard/` into `$HOME/.claude/skills/artiboard/`.
How do I install it in Codex?
Copy the skill to `$HOME/.codex/skills/artiboard`. For one repository use `.claude/skills/artiboard` or `.agents/skills/artiboard`.
Is there a Claude Code plugin?
Yes: `/plugin marketplace add yulmucoffee/artiboard` and `/plugin install artiboard@artiboard`, after which the skill is `/artiboard:artiboard`.
Where is the board data stored?
In the claude.ai artifact database or on a self-hosted site on SQLite in one file or on Supabase.
How do I update the skill?
Run `git -C "$HOME/.artiboard/src" pull --ff-only` and copy the skill files again.
