Run /reload-plugins in an existing session, then /agent-board. Use Tab and Enter to operate controls; Esc closes the pane. Terminal and Desktop Code tab supported; pane UI is unavailable in claude -p and the VS Code chat panel.
Try the source without installing:
claude --plugin-dir ./mods/agent-board
Reads agent metadata only. Does not spawn or message agents.
Module variables reset on hot reload. Diagnostic history begins when the mod loads and lasts until reload or process exit; it does not reconstruct earlier activity. All display output is bounded; viewers may truncate long content to 9,000 characters. Relative file paths and Git commands use the session working directory.
Tested with Claude Code 2.1.288. Minimum documented mods version: 2.1.287. The API can change; validate against your installed version.
claude plugin validate mods/agent-board --strict
claude plugin test mods/agent-board
Tests cover plugin commands, pane isolation, both UI surfaces, and the behavior described in tests/register.test.ts. Drawing tests validate element trees; they do not verify pixels painted by the native apps. Validation details.
