+- 👀 **File watching** - Monitors `agent-os/specs/` folder for changes
+- ✅ **Auto-refresh** - Board polls every 3 seconds for live updates
 - 🗃️ **Archives completed specs** - Keep your board focused on active work
 
 ### Features
 
+**Real-Time File Watching (NEW!):**
+
+- Automatically monitors your `agent-os/specs/` folder
+- Detects changes to `tasks.md` and `spec.md` files
+- 2-second debounce to batch rapid edits
+- Auto-syncs to database within 3 seconds
+- Frontend auto-refreshes every 3 seconds
+- **Total latency: ~6 seconds from file save to board update**
+
 **Automatic Syncing:**

 - Syncs all specs from your project's `agent-os/specs/` folder
 - Tracks task metadata (estimated time, dependencies, risk level)
-- Auto-detects completed tasks (marked with ✅ in tasks.md)
+- Auto-detects completed tasks (marked with ✅ or `[x]` in tasks.md)
+- Supports both checkbox format and classic format

 ### How It Works
 
 ```
 1. You create a spec with Agent-OS:
    /create-spec → agent-os/specs/2025-01-15-user-auth/
 
-2. Claude OS discovers and parses it:
+2. Spec Watcher detects the new folder:
+   - Auto-starts when MCP server boots
+   - Monitors agent-os/specs/ directory
+   - 2-second debounce for batch changes
+
+3. Auto-sync to database:
    - Reads tasks.md
+   - Parses checkbox format: - [x] Task title
    - Extracts metadata, tasks, phases
    - Stores in SQLite database
+   - ✅ Completes within 3 seconds
 
-3. View in Kanban board:
+4. View in Kanban board (auto-refreshes every 3 seconds):
    - Todo: PHASE1-TASK1, PHASE1-TASK2
    - In Progress: PHASE2-TASK1
    - Done: PHASE1-TASK3, PHASE1-TASK4
 
-4. Track progress as you work:
+5. As you work, agent-os updates tasks.md:
-   - Update task status via API
+   - File watcher detects change
-   - Spec status auto-updates
+   - Auto-syncs to database
-   - Progress percentage calculated
+   - Board refreshes automatically
+   - Total latency: ~6 seconds
 
-5. Archive when complete:
+6. Archive when complete:
    - Mark spec as archived
    - Keeps history but cleans up board

+# Real-Time Kanban Board Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+Claude OS features a **real-time Kanban board** that automatically syncs with your agent-os spec files as they're created and updated. This provides live visibility into your development progress without any manual intervention.
+
+## How It Works
+
+The real-time Kanban system consists of three integrated components:
+
+```
+agent-os updates tasks.md
+        ↓ (2 sec debounce)
+Spec Watcher detects change
+        ↓
+Auto-syncs to database
+        ↓ (within 3 seconds)
+Kanban board auto-refreshes
+        ↓
+You see updated tasks in real-time! 🎉
+```
+
+### 1. Spec File Watcher
+
+The **Spec Watcher** monitors your project's `agent-os/specs/` folder for file changes:
+
+- **Watches**: All `tasks.md` and `spec.md` files in your specs folders
+- **Triggers on**: File modifications and new file/folder creation
+- **Debounce**: 2-second delay to batch rapid changes
+- **Auto-starts**: Launches automatically when MCP server starts
+
+**Technical Details:**
+- Location: `app/core/spec_watcher.py`
+- Uses: `watchdog` library for filesystem monitoring
+- Monitors: `/path/to/project/agent-os/specs/**/*`
+- Thread-safe: Uses locks for concurrent access
+
+### 2. Automatic Database Sync
+
+When the spec watcher detects changes, it:
+
+1. Parses the updated `tasks.md` file
+2. Extracts tasks in checkbox format:
+   ```markdown
+   - [x] 1.0 Complete database layer
+   - [ ] 2.1 Write tests for services
+   ```
+3. Updates the SQLite database with new/modified tasks
+4. Tracks task status (todo, in_progress, done, blocked)
+
+**Supported Task Formats:**
+
+The parser supports two formats:
+
+**Checkbox Format** (recommended for agent-os):
+```markdown
+- [x] 1.0 Complete database layer
+  - [x] 1.1 Write 2-8 focused tests for database models
+  - [x] 1.2 Create migration: add_manual_time_slots_support
+- [ ] 2.0 Complete service layer
+  - [ ] 2.1 Write 2-8 focused tests for services
+```
+
+**Classic Format** (legacy support):
+```markdown
+### PHASE1-TASK1: Database Setup
+**Title:** Setup Database Schema
+**Description:** Create all required database tables
+**Estimated Time:** 2 hours
+**Risk Level:** low
+**Status:** ✅ COMPLETED
+```
+
+### 3. Frontend Auto-Refresh
+
+The Kanban board frontend:
+
+- **Polls**: Every 3 seconds for database updates
+- **Refreshes**: Automatically when new data is detected
+- **Smooth**: Uses React Query for optimistic updates
+- **Animations**: Framer Motion for smooth task transitions
+
+## Using the Kanban Board
+
+### Accessing the Board
+
+1. Open Claude OS web interface
+2. Select your project from the sidebar
+3. Click the **"Kanban Board"** tab
+4. Board loads automatically with all specs and tasks
+
+### Board Layout
+
+The Kanban board displays:
+
+**Top Section:**
+- Summary statistics (total specs, total tasks, completed tasks)
+- "Sync Specs" button (manual sync if needed)
+- "Show Archived" toggle
+
+**Spec Cards:**
+Each spec shows:
+- Spec name and status
+- Progress bar
+- Task counts by status
+- Four columns: Todo, In Progress, Done, Blocked
+
+**Task Cards:**
+- Task code (e.g., PHASE1-TASK1)
+- Title
+- Risk level badge
+- Estimated/actual time
+- Dependencies
+
+### Manual Sync Button
+
+While the board updates automatically, you can manually trigger a sync:
+
+1. Click **"Sync Specs"** button at the top
+2. All spec files are re-parsed
+3. Database updates immediately
+4. Board refreshes within 3 seconds
+
+Use this when:
+- Testing the sync functionality
+- Recovering from errors
+- Adding a new spec folder manually
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Spec Watcher Management
+
+The spec watcher starts automatically, but you can control it via API:
+
+**Start watcher for a project:**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8051/api/spec-watcher/start/{project_id}
+```
+
+**Stop watcher for a project:**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8051/api/spec-watcher/stop/{project_id}
+```
+
+**Start all project watchers:**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8051/api/spec-watcher/start-all
+```
+
+**Check watcher status:**
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8051/api/spec-watcher/status
+```
+
+Example status response:
+```json
+{
+  "status": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "projects_watched": 1,
+    "projects": {
+      "1": {
+        "project_path": "/Users/you/Projects/myapp",
+        "specs_path": "/Users/you/Projects/myapp/agent-os/specs",
+        "watching": true
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Adjusting Refresh Rate
+
+The default refresh rate is 3 seconds. To change it:
+
+**File:** `frontend/src/components/KanbanBoard.tsx`
+
+```typescript
+const { data: kanbanData, isLoading } = useQuery({
+  queryKey: ['kanban', projectId, includeArchived],
+  queryFn: async () => {
+    // ... fetch logic
+  },
+  refetchInterval: 3000, // Change this value (milliseconds)
+});
+```
+
+**Recommended values:**
+- **3000ms (3s)**: Real-time updates, good UX
+- **5000ms (5s)**: Balanced performance
+- **10000ms (10s)**: Low-traffic, battery-saving
+
+### Debounce Delay
+
+The spec watcher waits 2 seconds after detecting a change before syncing. To adjust:
+
+**File:** `app/core/spec_watcher.py`
+
+```python
+class SpecFileHandler(FileSystemEventHandler):
+    def __init__(self, project_id: int, project_path: str):
+        # ...
+        self.debounce_delay = 2.0  # Change this value (seconds)
+```
+
+**Why debounce?**
+- Prevents sync spam during rapid file edits
+- Batches related changes together
+- Reduces database load
+
+## Project Structure Requirements
+
+For the Kanban board to work, your project must have this structure:
+
+```
+your-project/
+└── agent-os/
+    └── specs/
+        ├── 2025-10-29-feature-name/
+        │   ├── spec.md          # Optional: Feature specification
+        │   └── tasks.md         # Required: Task breakdown
+        └── 2025-11-01-another-feature/
+            ├── spec.md
+            └── tasks.md
+```
+
+**Folder naming convention:**
+- Format: `YYYY-MM-DD-feature-slug`
+- Example: `2025-10-29-manual-appointment-times`
+- Slug becomes the spec name (spaces replace hyphens)
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Tasks Not Showing Up
+
+**Check 1: Is the spec watcher running?**
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8051/api/spec-watcher/status
+```
+
+If `"watching": false`, restart the watcher:
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8051/api/spec-watcher/start/{project_id}
+```
+
+**Check 2: Are your tasks in the right format?**
+
+Tasks must use the checkbox format with numeric prefixes:
+```markdown
+- [ ] 1.0 Task title
+- [x] 2.1 Another task
+```
+
+Not this:
+```markdown
+- [ ] Task without number
+- Some random text
+```
+
+**Check 3: Is tasks.md in the right location?**
+```
+✅ project/agent-os/specs/2025-10-29-feature/tasks.md
+❌ project/specs/tasks.md
+❌ project/agent-os/tasks.md
+```
+
+**Check 4: Check the MCP server logs**
+```bash
+tail -50 logs/mcp_server.log
+```
+
+Look for:
+- `✅ Updated spec 'Feature Name' with X tasks`
+- Any error messages about parsing
+
+### Board Not Auto-Refreshing
+
+**Check 1: Is polling enabled?**
+
+Open browser DevTools → Network tab → Filter by "kanban"
+
+You should see requests every 3 seconds to:
+```
+GET /api/projects/1/kanban?include_archived=false
+```
+
+If not, check that React Query is configured correctly.
+
+**Check 2: Clear browser cache**
+```
+Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows/Linux)
+Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)
+```
+
+**Check 3: Check frontend logs**
+
+Open browser Console and look for errors related to:
+- React Query
+- Axios requests
+- WebSocket connections (if applicable)
+
+### Sync Taking Too Long
+
+**Expected timings:**
+- File change detected: < 1 second
+- Debounce wait: 2 seconds
+- Database sync: < 1 second
+- Frontend refresh: 3 seconds
+- **Total**: ~6 seconds max
+
+**If slower:**
+
+1. Check disk I/O (is your disk slow?)
+2. Check database size (vacuum if needed):
+   ```bash
+   sqlite3 data/claude-os.db "VACUUM;"
+   ```
+3. Check CPU usage (spec parsing is CPU-intensive for large specs)
+
+### Parser Errors
+
+**Common issues:**
+
+**Issue:** "No tasks found"
+- **Cause:** Tasks not in checkbox format
+- **Fix:** Add `- [ ]` or `- [x]` before task lines
+
+**Issue:** "Invalid task code"
+- **Cause:** Missing numeric prefix (e.g., `1.0`, `2.1`)
+- **Fix:** Add numbers: `- [ ] 1.0 Task title`
+
+**Issue:** "Spec not found"
+- **Cause:** Folder name doesn't match expected format
+- **Fix:** Rename to `YYYY-MM-DD-feature-name`
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Custom Task Status Updates
+
+You can manually update task status via API:
+
+```bash
+curl -X PATCH http://localhost:8051/api/tasks/{task_id}/status \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "status": "in_progress",
+    "actual_minutes": 120
+  }'
+```
+
+Valid statuses: `todo`, `in_progress`, `done`, `blocked`
+
+### Archiving Specs
+
+Archive completed specs to declutter the board:
+
+**Via UI:**
+1. Click "Archive" button on spec card
+2. Spec moves to archived view
+
+**Via API:**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8051/api/specs/{spec_id}/archive
+```
+
+**To view archived specs:**
+- Toggle "Show Archived" checkbox in the UI
+
+### Bulk Operations
+
+**Sync all specs for a project:**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8051/api/projects/{project_id}/specs/sync
+```
+
+Response:
+```json
+{
+  "project_id": 1,
+  "message": "Specs synced successfully",
+  "synced": 0,
+  "updated": 3,
+  "total": 3,
+  "errors": []
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Database Size
+
+Each task creates a database row. For large projects:
+
+**Estimate storage:**
+- 100 specs × 50 tasks = 5,000 rows
+- SQLite handles this easily (millions of rows supported)
+
+**Optimize periodically:**
+```bash
+sqlite3 data/claude-os.db "VACUUM; ANALYZE;"
+```
+
+### Frontend Performance
+
+With many tasks, the Kanban board may slow down:
+
+**Optimization tips:**
+1. Archive old specs (reduces rendered tasks)
+2. Increase refresh interval to 5-10 seconds
+3. Filter by status (show only active tasks)
+
+### File Watcher Overhead
+
+The spec watcher uses minimal resources:
+- CPU: < 1% idle, ~5% during sync
+- Memory: ~20 MB per project
+- Disk I/O: Only on file changes
+
+**Disable if needed:**
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8051/api/spec-watcher/stop/{project_id}
+```
