Session Board Lite

One big job in, a board of paste-ready Claude Code session prompts out, with the parallel waves worked out for you.

Session Board Lite is a free Claude Code skill. It splits one big job into separate sessions you can run in parallel, writes a prompt for each, and builds a local HTML board with one card per session. Each card shows the prompt with a Copy button, the model to pick, when to start it, what it needs first and which sessions can run alongside it. Claude checks the plan first and refuses one where two sessions running at the same time own the same files.

A board built from an invented job: a recipe site split into three sessions in two waves.

It is not an agent runner. It does not start the sessions, watch them or merge their work: you paste each prompt into a new Claude Code session yourself. For work that fits in one session it says so and does not build a board.

Install

Needs Claude Code 2.1.116 or newer and a browser. The board is built with awk, which ships with macOS and Linux (on Windows, Git Bash or WSL).

claude plugin marketplace add adityavora16/claude-plugins
claude plugin install session-board-lite@adityavora

Open a new Claude Code session in a project folder and type:

/session-board-lite:session-board-lite Plan a small recipe website with a recipe format, page templates and a search box.

Claude reads the folder, splits the job, writes docs/sessions/plan.json, builds the board and gives you the path to an HTML file. Other ways in (copy the skill folder, or load it for one session) are in INSTALL.md.

How it works

1. You describe the job. Claude reads your project folder and asks only the questions that would change the split.

2. It splits the job into sessions, one outcome each, and groups them into waves. Everything in a wave can run at the same time. A contracts session goes first when several sessions build against a shared schema or API, and an integration session goes last.

3. It writes plan.json and checks it: it rejects a plan where two sessions in one wave own the same path, or where one owns a folder that contains the other's, and warns about prompts too thin to stand alone.

4. It writes the board as a local HTML file. To change the board, edit plan.json and build again:

   awk '/^```html$/{on=1;next} /^```$/{on=0} on' skills/session-board-lite/references/board-template.md | awk -v plan=docs/sessions/plan.json '$0=="__DATA__"{while((getline l < plan)>0){gsub(/<\//,"<\\/",l); print l}; next} {print}' > session-board.html
   

A plan with more than six sessions or more than three waves still builds; the board then says the job is big enough for the full Session Board.

Privacy

Session Board Lite collects and sends no data. Its build step is one awk command that runs on your machine, makes no network calls, and writes the board as a local HTML file in your project. When you open that file in a browser, the page loads its fonts from Google Fonts (fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com), so your browser makes those requests; no plan, prompt or project content is sent with them. Nothing is retained anywhere except the files written to your own disk.
