Flowboard

English | 简体中文

Let work happen naturally in the Harness while keeping the team aligned without extra management overhead.

Flowboard is an open-source office collaboration and team management plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH). It brings goals, meetings, people, agent execution, progress, and documents into one coherent workflow, so work can move continuously from discussion to execution and shared knowledge. Tasks are not the boundary of the product; they are the backbone that supports this way of working.

Alpha: 0.1.2-alpha.5 is still at an early validation stage. APIs, data structures, and installation procedures may change incompatibly. It is intended for local evaluation and small-team trials, not stable production deployments.

Management Without the Busywork

Traditional task management makes employees do the same work twice: first they meet, communicate, and execute, then they open another system to create tasks, assign owners, update progress, and organize documents. The management system records a manually maintained copy of the work rather than the work itself. As soon as people stop updating it, the board becomes inaccurate.

AI-assisted work makes this problem even more visible. People already use agents in the Harness to research, write, analyze, plan, and execute. If those results remain in individual sessions, the team still cannot see who is doing what, how work is progressing, or what has been produced. Someone eventually has to copy the information and report it manually.

Flowboard changes how task information is created:

• When work begins, goals and meeting action items become tasks, owners, and plans.
• While work is in progress, members and agents execute and update progress in the same task context.
• When work is completed, documents, decisions, and supporting material return to the original task and project.
• When the team collaborates, every member and agent reads the same authoritative state and continues from there.

People still complete tasks, but no longer have to manage a separate copy of them. Management happens as the work happens.

One Operating Model Across the Harness

The Harness is where people and agents work. Flowboard provides its collaboration and organizational memory layer. Goals set direction, meetings create alignment, people and agents execute together, progress stays current, and documents preserve the outcome. Tasks connect these stages instead of becoming a form that employees must maintain outside their conversations.

The Harness agent understands intent and existing context
                         ↓
Flowboard creates tasks, ownership, plans, and linked documents
                         ↓
Members and agents continue execution in their own sessions
                         ↓
Progress, issues, documents, and decisions return to one task context
                         ↓
The next member or agent continues from the actual state of the work

DSH remains responsible for sessions, models, agents, and the plugin lifecycle. Flowboard does not create a second agent entry point or make DSH depend on a standalone application. Users install only @flowboard/dsh; the UI and agents then share the same FlowboardService, data, and authorization rules.
