What the board shows

Part	Detail
The spec list	Status, a four-step bar (specify, plan, tasks, implement) and task progress, most recently active first. Filter by Active, Done or All, or search by name or number.
The Overview	The same record as the VS Code viewer: intent, time per phase, decisions and coverage
The documents	The spec, plan, tasks, research and checklists
The next-step button	Sends the same line the VS Code sidebar does, such as `/speckit.companion.plan specs/042-export-csv`, into the chat
New spec	Companion, Spec Kit or Auto, as in VS Code. Companion and Auto are greyed out, with the reason, in a project without the Companion Spec Kit extension.
