Pullboard

Pullboard is a coordination queue that manages autonomous AI agents with specs, separate lanes, and verification.

Pullboard is a coordination queue and agentic development lifecycle tool for serious software projects. It lives in your git repository, requires no account or external dependencies, and never calls a model directly. You define a spec and doctrine, and autonomous agents build in separate worktrees while a second agent verifies the work against your requirements. It tracks items, shouts, doctrine, specs, and activity from a single board view. Supported tools include Claude Code, Codex, and standard test gates across JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, Ruby, and C#.
