So what is it?

Mission Control Board is a task management tool that lives entirely in a single HTML file with no external dependencies. You download it, open it in any browser, and start planning your work. The board is designed for exactly two owners, such as yourself and a coding assistant, each getting their own panel showing what they need to do. The standout feature is how the board handles task dependencies. Every task can list other tasks it depends on, and a task stays blocked until all of those dependencies are completed. The board figures out what is ready to work on at any given moment rather than you having to track it manually. When you mark a task as done, anything that was waiting on it automatically moves into your "Up now" column, and a small notification tells you exactly what just became unblocked. The board offers three visual tabs. The first two show each owner's plate, with tasks sorted into "Up now," "Waiting," and "Done" sections. The third tab is a map view that draws your entire project as something resembling a transit or subway map. Each category of work becomes a colored line, all converging on a final "GO LIVE" station. The current bottleneck on each line pulses, giving you a quick visual sense of where things are stuck. To customize the board for your own project, you edit a single block of text near the bottom of the HTML file. This block, called the seed, contains all your tasks, their dependencies, their owners, and visual settings like colors and labels. You can edit it by hand in any text editor, or use an included helper script to combine a separate seed file with the board engine. A built-in test script validates your seed to catch errors like circular dependencies or invalid task references. The board saves your progress locally in the browser, and a sync feature lets you export your changes as a compact text payload that can be folded back into the seed permanently. The full README is longer than what was shown.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Help me write a seed block for Mission Control Board. I have tasks: design UI, build backend, write tests. Backend depends on design, tests depend on backend. Assign design to owner A and the rest to owner B.
Prompt 2
I have a Mission Control Board seed with a circular dependency error. Here is my seed text: [paste seed]. Find the cycle and suggest how to fix it.
Prompt 3
Generate a seed for Mission Control Board for a website launch project with categories Design, Development, and Launch. Include at least 8 tasks with dependencies and assign them to two owners.
Prompt 4
Explain how to use the included helper script to combine a separate seed file with the Mission Control Board engine instead of editing the HTML directly.
