FlowBoard v5: The Project Workspace Your AI Agents Actually Run

FlowBoard v5 is a full rebuild of the project workspace that gives your AI agents persistent context across sessions. Instead of re-explaining your project goals, decisions, and task state every time, FlowBoard keeps everything in one place and your agent pulls exactly the slice it needs, lazy-loaded to keep token use low.
What's New in v5
- Rebuilt on React — Every surface (Kanban, Idea Canvas, Overview) now runs on one stack; no vanilla runtime left.
- Event-sourced task store — Every change is an append-only event in SQLite, giving you full history and preventing drift.
- First-class multi-agent support — Stable per-agent identity, self-onboarding for external agents, built-in claim/release/handoff. Your OpenClaw agent, Claude Code, and Cursor all show up live on the same board.
- Ideas to specs — Sketch ideas as connected notes on the canvas; a guided clarify loop turns them into real specs with acceptance criteria, not just task titles.
- Modular Overview — A per-project dashboard composed from widgets: blocked items, approval requests, milestones, CI status, files.
Installation
One-liner install via ClawHub:
openclaw plugins install clawhub:flowboardThen one command brings the dashboard up, and it self-updates from inside the dashboard after that. A Telegram mini app is also available to view the board on your phone.
Who It's For
Developers running multiple AI agents across projects who need a persistent, shared context layer without token waste.
