# life-manager - a Trello board that gets things done
Most personal Trello boards fail the same way: everything lands in "Today", nothing leaves, and six months later the board is a museum. This skill sets up a board built against that failure, then keeps it honest. Three modes:
| Mode | They say | You do |
|------|----------|--------|
| **setup** | "set up my life board" | Build the lists, agree their labels, write their config |
| **triage** | "triage my Trello inbox", or they dump a pile of thoughts | Classify, label, break down, place - on approval |
| **coach** | "nothing is moving on my board", "what should I do next on my board" | Find the friction, work it one thing at a time |
**Needs the `trello` skill installed beside it.** `life-board.sh` loads `trello`'s shared helpers, and every card and board call below is a `trello` script. The plugin and `install.sh` install both. With the skills CLI, add both by name: `npx skills add dbhq-uk/trello-skill --skill trello --skill life-manager`.
## Nothing personal lives in this skill
No board, list, label, client or person is written into this skill, and none may be added. Take them from the user's config file, or ask.
## The config file
Personal settings live in a YAML file the user owns. The first of these that exists is used:
1. `$LIFE_MANAGER_CONFIG`
2. `./life-manager.yaml`
3. `~/.dbhq/trello/life-manager.yaml`
`life-board.sh config` shows which one it found. If there is none, you are in **setup** mode - offer to
