How I track a small feature from backlog to live inside the repo
Description and use
Tracking a small feature using an in‑repo board that stores status in delivery.json and syncs via git.
Problem
Need a delivery state that lives next to code so teammates can see the same truth via git.
Outcome
Feature shipped with clear audit log, weekly Markdown report, and shared board state in repo.
Workflow
- Initialize board with npx github:jerryxff26-alt/dsh-delivery-board init ACME lite
- Create card with npx github:jerryxff26-alt/dsh-delivery-board card "API integration" backlog Ada
- Move card to doing with npx github:jerryxff26-alt/dsh-delivery-board move "API integration" doing
- Open local board with npx github:jerryxff26-alt/dsh-delivery-board open and drag to review/live
- Generate weekly report with npx github:jerryxff26-alt/dsh-delivery-board weekly
- Export read‑only snapshot with npx github:jerryxff26-alt/dsh-delivery-board html
Evidence
I wanted the delivery state to sit next to the code, so a teammate (or an agent) could git pull and see the same truth I was looking at.
It runs as a standalone CLI today; it also plugs into DeepSeek Harness if you use that.
That writes delivery.json in the current directory. Commit it when you want the team to share the same board through git.
When Ada starts coding: npx github:jerryxff26-alt/dsh-delivery-board move "API integration" doing
If the card jumps from Doing to Live (skipping Review on purpose — hotfix, already reviewed elsewhere), the audit writes one line: Doing → Live.
That starts a loopback board on 127.0.0.1 (unguessable capability path; treat the URL as private).
