⚠️ Under Development — This feature is planned for Phase 4. This page will be updated as the feature progresses.
Overview
The Board Rules Visualiser displays the automation rules configured on your GitHub project boards as an interactive diagram. It makes it easy to understand how issues and pull requests flow between columns, which labels trigger transitions, and where bottlenecks may occur.
For SoloDevBoard itself, the canonical project board now includes an Up Next planning state for the next short-horizon batch of stories, enablers, and tests, plus a Focus Order field that sequences that batch on the Story Board.
Key goals of the Board Rules Visualiser:
- Make project board automation rules visible and understandable at a glance.
- Help diagnose automation issues where items are not flowing as expected.
- Provide a foundation for the One-Click Migration feature (migrating board rules between repositories).
How to Use
Coming soon — this section will describe the Board Rules Visualiser interface once the feature is complete.
Planned interactions include:
- Selecting a repository and project board to visualise.
- Viewing an interactive flow diagram of board columns and transition rules.
- Clicking on a rule to see its full configuration.
- Highlighting rules that may conflict or produce unexpected behaviour.
Configuration
Coming soon — this section will describe configuration options for the Board Rules Visualiser.
Planned configuration options include:
- Choosing between GitHub classic projects and GitHub Projects (v2).
- Layout options for the visualisation diagram.
