Interview Log: Add --board flag to kanban search

Turn 1

Questions

  1. Flag format: Should --board accept only a board ID, or also support board name matching (case-insensitive substring)?
  2. Output shape: When --board is provided, should search still enrich results with board name/ID, or simplify the response?
  3. Search scope: Should --board also search card descriptions, or keep name-only ILIKE?

Options Presented

  1. ID only (recommended) vs ID or name — chose ID only for simplicity and unambiguity.
  2. Keep enrichment (recommended) vs strip board fields — chose keep enrichment for consistent output shape.
  3. Name only (recommended) vs name + description — chose name only to keep the change focused.

Responses

All three recommended options selected. Rationale: skills already resolve board IDs, so name matching adds complexity without value. Consistent output avoids breaking consumers. Description search is orthogonal.

Questions

  1. Error handling: If --board ID doesn't exist or isn't in the user's org, error or empty result?
  2. Multi-board: Single --board only, or allow repeated flags for subset search?

Options Presented

  1. Error and exit (recommended) vs empty result set — chose error and exit for fail-fast behavior.
  2. Single board only (recommended) vs allow multiple — chose allow multiple --board flags (deviated from recommendation).

Responses

Error exit chosen to prevent silent wrong-board bugs. Multi-board support chosen despite YAGNI recommendation — user sees future value in subset searches.

Turn 3

Questions

  1. Arg parsing: New getAllArgs helper vs inline logic in cmdSearch?
  2. Wrap up: Ready to write the spec?

Options Presented

  1. New getAllArgs helper (recommended) vs inline — chose getAllArgs helper for reusability.
  2. Yes, write the spec vs continue — chose write the spec.

Deviations from Original Card Description

Aspect Original Card Final Spec
Multi-boardImplied single --board <id>Repeatable flag: --board <id1> --board <id2>
Arg parsingNot specifiedNew getAllArgs utility alongside existing getArg
Error handlingNot specifiedExplicit error exit on invalid board ID

Reasoning: Multi-board support was a user preference diverging from the YAGNI recommendation. This required the getAllArgs helper instead of reusing getArg. Error handling was specified to prevent silent failures in automated skill scripts.
