Run the whole build 0 to 1. Concept to shipped.

Switchboard combines agent orchestration with real project management. One board runs the whole arc — research → plan → design → code → review — with the coding agents you already pay for dispatched by a card move, in your own repo. VS Code extension, or standalone in the browser.

The online docs are the single source of truth: installation, board workflows, agents, integrations, and reference.

• The build starts before the first line — research, scoping, and planning come in from whatever tool you used, before any code is written.
• A project model, not a task list — related plans group into features, and each project carries its own PRD and rules injected only into its own prompts.
• The move is the dispatch — drag a card into Coding and the work goes out, routed to the right agent by complexity, on your machine, in your repo.
• Works with anything — a card move either drives your agent directly or puts the fully composed prompt on your clipboard (Copy Prompt). If a tool can take text, it works with Switchboard.

Download the latest packaged extension from the Releases page, then install it:

• VS Code UI: Extensions panel → … menu → Install from VSIX… → pick the downloaded .vsix.
• CLI: code --install-extension switchboard-<version>.vsix

No editor? npx switchboard runs the same board in your browser, on loopback. To reach it from another device, npx switchboard tailnet also serves it on your Tailscale interface — your tailnet only, never the internet. See Remote Access.

• GitHub Repository
• Documentation

Guidance for AI planning/coding agents orienting on this repo. A complementary addendum to the human docs above (the online docs remain the single source of truth for human readers).

• src/ is the source of truth for all code. Read and search only there.
• dist/ is a webpack build artifact — not used in development or testing. Do not search or read it; results there are stale generated bundles.
• ARCHITECTURE.md (repo root) is the navigational map — which file serves which panel, folder roles, and the service cross-reference. Read it first before searching the codebase.
• docs/IPC_PROTOCOL.md is the webview↔host message index (both directions). Read it before tracing a panel action into its provider arm.
• CONSTITUTION.md states the non-negotiable invariants (the laws); ARCHITECTURE.md is the layout. CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md carry the agent workflow protocol and coding rules.
• For planning agents: read ARCHITECTURE.md and docs/IPC_PROTOCOL.md before searching the codebase — they turn a broad search into a targeted read.
