See backend/API.md for full endpoint documentation (single canonical doc).

Common Operations

List tasks:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN" "$PIKABOARD_API/tasks"

Create task:

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Fix bug","status":"inbox","priority":"high","tags":["bug","backend"]}' \
  "$PIKABOARD_API/tasks"

Update status:

curl -X PATCH -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status":"done"}' \
  "$PIKABOARD_API/tasks/123"

Enums

Agent Onboarding (Simple Path)

Use the helper to map each agent to a board automatically:

cd pikaboard
MY_BOARD_ID="$(
  ./skills/pikaboard/scripts/setup-agent-board.sh | sed -n 's/^MY_BOARD_ID=//p' | tail -n1
)"
export MY_BOARD_ID

What it does:

• Reads PIKABOARD_API, PIKABOARD_TOKEN, AGENT_NAME
• Finds board by BOARD_NAME (default: AGENT_NAME)
• Creates board if missing
• Prints MY_BOARD_ID=<id>
• Verifies GET /api/tasks?board_id=<id>&status=up_next

Optional:

export BOARD_NAME="Bulbi"
export BOARD_ENV_FILE="$HOME/.openclaw/agents/bulbi/.pikaboard.env"
./skills/pikaboard/scripts/setup-agent-board.sh

Multi-Agent Setup

Each agent can have their own board. Use board_id parameter:

curl "$PIKABOARD_API/tasks?board_id=6" -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN"

Board assignments:

• Board 1: Pika (main)
• Board 2: Tortoise (personal)
• Board 3: Sala (work)
• Board 4: Evoli (VirtualPyTest)
• Board 5: Psykokwak (EZPlanning)
• Board 6: Bulbi (PikaBoard)
• Board 7: Mew (Ideas)

Validation Checklist

Run after setup:

# 1) API reachable
curl -s http://localhost:3001/health

# 2) Auth works
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN" "$PIKABOARD_API/boards"

# 3) Board mapping works
echo "$MY_BOARD_ID"

# 4) Agent can read own queue
curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $PIKABOARD_TOKEN" \
  "$PIKABOARD_API/tasks?board_id=$MY_BOARD_ID&status=up_next"
