## HTTP Routes
| Route | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `/` or `/ck:kanban` | Dashboard view |
| `/ck:kanban?dir=<path>` | Dashboard for specific directory |
| `/api/plans` | JSON API for plans data |
| `/api/plans?dir=<path>` | JSON API for specific directory |
| `/assets/*` | Static assets |
| `/file/*` | Local file serving |
## Remote Access
When using `--host 0.0.0.0`, the server auto-detects your local network IP:
```json
{
"success": true,
"url": "http://localhost:3500/kanban?dir=...",
"networkUrl": "http://192.168.2.75:3500/kanban?dir=...",
"port": 3500
}
```
Use `networkUrl` to access from other devices on the same network.
## Plan Structure
The dashboard scans for directories containing `plan.md` files:
```
plans/
├── 251215-feature-a/
│ ├── plan.md # Required - parsed for phases
│ ├── phase-01-setup.md
│ └── phase-02-impl.md
├── 251214-feature-b/
│ └── plan.md
└── templates/ # Excluded by default
```
## Troubleshooting
**Port in use**: Server auto-increments from 3500-3550
**No plans found**: Ensure directories contain `plan.md` files
**Remote access denied**: Use `--host 0.0.0.0` to bind all interfaces
**PID files**: Located at `/tmp/plans-kanban-*.pid`Related Skills
