Product management that lives in your git specs
SpecBoard layers status, priority, roadmap, and ownership on top of the spec files your team and your AI agents already commit to git — no duplication into Jira or Aha.

Features
Everything to run product on top of your specs
The planning layer your repo was missing — without pulling specs out of git.
Git-native specs
Your specs/**/spec.md files stay the source of truth. SpecBoard reads frontmatter and keeps a live index — renames and edits survive because every spec carries a stable id.
Backlog & prioritization
Rank, assign, tag, and prioritize work items in a fast backlog. Drag to reorder, save custom views, and filter by product, status, or owner.
Kanban board
A status board with a workflow-validated state machine — backlog, defining, ready, in progress, in review, done — so status always means the same thing.
Roadmap
Group features into epics and initiatives and lay them out by quarter. Communicate the plan without spreadsheets or a second tool.
One-click GitHub sync
Connect a repo with a one-click GitHub App. SpecBoard imports specs, reconciles on every push, and links live PR and issue state to features.
MCP for AI agents
An MCP server exposes prioritized, assigned, status-aware specs to coding agents — list_features, read_spec, update_status — so agents work from the same plan.
How it works
From repo to roadmap in minutes
No migration project. Point SpecBoard at a repo and your specs become a managed backlog.
Connect your repo
Set up the GitHub App in one click. No secrets to paste — credentials are created and stored encrypted for you.
Specs import automatically
SpecBoard scans specs/** per your .specboard/config.yml, homes each under a Feature, and keeps the index in sync on every push.
Plan, track, and ship
Work the Backlog, Board, and Roadmap in the app. Your AI agents read the same prioritized plan over MCP.
