A board is a projection of the project graph onto lifecycle states. It shows how closure flows through the system.
| Column | Contents | Closure meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Gap | Predicate graph violations | Identified but unaddressed |
| Shaped | Plans with status: proposed or accepted | Path to closure is designed |
| Active | Plans with status: active | Closure in progress |
| Closed | Plans with status: completed | Partial closure achieved |
The board is generated from plan frontmatter by the review-plans skill, not maintained by hand.
A WIP limit constrains the Active column: at most 2-3 plans active simultaneously. This prevents the system from dispersing energy across too many partial closures.
