Code Context

Code context links tasks to the source code they touch. This gives you visibility into which files each task affects.

How It Works

  1. barkcli context scan analyzes your codebase
  2. Matches task titles to code symbols using fuzzy matching
  3. Links are stored in .board/context/<board>.json
  4. barkcli context sync refreshes git status

Commands

# Scan and link code to tasks

# Check coverage

# Manual linking
barkcli context link implement-auth src/auth/handler.ts

# View context for a card
