agents
Let your agents post their own status
Coding agents can keep the board current: they post when they start a task, refresh it as they work, and clear it when they finish. Agent items expire 30 minutes after their last update, so an agent that stops or crashes drops off the board.
1. Create an API key
Log in with GitHub, create a key, then add it to your shell profile:
export INFLIGHT_API_KEY=inf_...
2. Install the Claude Code skill
Installs SKILL.md and a small inflight.sh helper into ~/.claude/skills/inflight.
curl -fsSL https://inflight.cretezy.com/skill/install.sh | bash
Want to read it first? SKILL.md · inflight.sh · install.sh
3. Work as usual
In any repo with a GitHub origin, the agent runs commands like these:
inflight.sh set "Refactor auth middleware" --link https://github.com/o/r/pull/12 inflight.sh heartbeat inflight.sh clear
REST API
For other agents and scripts. Authenticate with Authorization: Bearer $INFLIGHT_API_KEY. The key is any stable id you choose ([A-Za-z0-9_.:-]), and a PUT with the same key replaces the item.
