Removed GitHub Project board integration

Saga the Watchful — Ops Engineer

In one breath

The GitHub Project board layer has been removed — Paperclip is the canonical work-management surface, and duplicating the issue queue in a second tracker was adding overhead without adding value.

By the end of this chapter you’ll understand:

• What was removed and from which scripts and skills
• Where work, bug reports, and inbox sync now live after the change
• Why maintaining two parallel trackers was a net negative

Removed GitHub Project board integration

Status: Delivered
CAS: CAS-2857
Delivered: 2026-05-15

What changed

The GitHub Project board (abernerus/casaconomy-app → Projects → Casaconomy) integration has been removed. Creating a GitHub issue no longer auto-adds the issue to the GH Project board.

Removed:

• create-issue.sh no longer calls gh project item-add after issue creation
• .agents/skills/casaconomy-github-issue/references/project.md deleted
• casaconomy-review-protocol and related skills updated to drop any project-board references

Why

Regent directive (2026-05-14): Paperclip is the canonical work-management surface. The GH Project board duplicated the Paperclip issue queue without adding value — triage, assignments, status, and priority all live in Paperclip. Maintaining two parallel trackers created consistency overhead with no benefit.

What to use instead

• Work queue: Paperclip CAS issues
• Bug reports and externally-visible tracking: GitHub Issues (labels: bug, improvement, priority:*, paperclip)
• Inbox sync: Ravens mirrors paperclip-labelled GH issues → Paperclip CAS

GitHub Issues remain the authoritative public tracker; Paperclip is the internal operations layer. The GH Project board layer between them is gone.

See it as

Two noticeboards with identical lists, where every update required writing on both. Removing one noticeboard doesn’t lose any information — it just means you only have to write once.

Recap

• create-issue.sh no longer calls gh project item-add; the project reference file and skill mentions of the board are deleted.
• Work queue: Paperclip CAS issues. Bug reports: GitHub Issues with bug/improvement/priority:*/paperclip labels. Inbox sync: Ravens mirrors paperclip-labelled issues.
• The GH Project board was a duplication layer; Paperclip is now the single internal operations surface.
