Plandeck turns an AI agent's plan into a live board
Plandeck is designed to stop Claude Code, Codex, and similar agents from losing their place during long jobs. The plan stays in a small plan. and appears as a live . You only define which tasks depend on others.
Plandeck then calculates which cards are ready, the overall progress, the , and the single task that should happen next. A card becomes ready automatically as soon as its required earlier tasks are complete. After a conversation is cleared or , the agent can run plandeck next to recover the correct next task.
That pointer is kept in a separate small file so it does not enlarge the unnecessarily. The local board updates through SSE, needs no extra packages, and works with Claude Code, Codex, or other tools that read SKILL.md.
