description: Create a standalone local research backlog board with human edits exported for review and reconciliation.
---

Read [runtime guidance](../../RUNTIME.md).
Generate the board with `python3 "${PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/work-board-export.py" <project-root> <output.html>`.
Use a local output under `.codex/work-board/` unless the user selects another destination.
Present the HTML path; open it with the host's normal file/browser tools when available.
The exporter also writes `<output-stem>.snapshot.json` for conflict checks and work-board-sync.py.
The board is a snapshot; saving an edit downloads the full pending.json; use the latest download for reconciliation.
It has no hosted artifact, comments, model sampling or automatic filesystem write access.
When asked to apply an export, compare every affected item with the current source and snapshot first, preserving concurrent human edits.
Use work-board-sync.py only after reconciling and validating the requested changes, then update Work/README.md and regenerate the board.
Do not publish or deploy the board unless explicitly requested.
