## About

# Board Digest - a status snapshot of a Trello board

Turns a Trello board into a readable status update: what is in each list, what is due or overdue, and what has moved recently. Ideal for a standup, a weekly review, or catching up after time away. Built on the `trello` skill in this pack.

## Prerequisites

- Credentials configured in `~/.trello/` (run the trello skill's setup if not done)
- `jq`, `curl` installed

## Usage

Resolve the board id if you only have a name, then run the digest:

```bash
# Find the board
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../trello/scripts/trello-boards.sh find ""

# Status snapshot (recent-activity window defaults to 7 days)
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/board-digest.sh digest 

# Widen the activity window to, say, 14 days
${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/board-digest.sh digest  14
```

The script prints four parts: a header with the open-card count, a per-list breakdown, a due-and-overdue section, and recent activity (created, moved, commented).

## Turning the snapshot into a digest

The script gives you the raw structure. Add value on top:

1. **Lead with the headline** - overdue items and anything due in the next three days come first. If something is overdue, say so plainly.
2. **Summarise, don't just list** - "Backlog is growing (18 cards), three items moved to Done this week, two cards are overdue."
3. **Flag blockers** - cards that have not moved in a long time, or lists that are piling up.
4. **Keep it scannable** - short lines, grouped by list or by theme, no filler.

## Workflow: standup or weekly review

1. Resolve the board id (`trello-boards.sh find`)
2. Run `board-digest.sh digest  [days]`
3. Write a short digest: headline (due/overdue), what moved, where the pressure is, and one or two suggested next actions
4. Offer to act on any of it (create, move, or comment on cards via the `trello` skill) - but only after the user confirms

## Notes

- Recent activity uses the Trello actions feed, which surfaces card creation, moves between lists, comments, and updates within the chosen window.
- Due-date detection ignores cards already marked complete, and highlights anything due within three days as "due soon".
