Lovelace: Project Management for Claude Code That Lives in Your Repo
Lovelace is a desktop app that turns your repo into a project management system. Tickets, docs, and session records live as Markdown files in the repo. The app renders a kanban board from the files, and Claude Code interacts with them through 8 MCP tools.
Key Features
- Kanban board and list view — generated from your schema. You define ticket types, fields, and statuses; the columns, filters, and forms follow automatically.
- Ticket pages with a block editor and a timeline of comments, sessions, and commits that touched the ticket.
- Docs tree in the same repo (ADRs, guides, plans) with stale-doc badges, plus a graph of wiki-links between tickets and docs.
- 8 MCP tools for Claude. Every write is validated against your schema.
- Guard hook — blocks direct edits to ticket files.
- Stop hook — forces Claude to write a session record before finishing.
- Session-start hook — injects a ~1,500 token digest of in-progress tickets and recent session records.
- Live presence — the board card shows Claude working with an elapsed timer.
- Hand-edit anything — the app re-validates and re-renders live. A broken file shows a validation error with file and line, not a crash.
Dogfooding Stats
The tool has been dogfooded for three weeks. The repo contains 139 tickets and 144 session records that built the app itself.
