Agents in the IDE: a live "virtual board" for AI agents, built as a split-mode plugin with an MCP toolset

Hi all :waving_hand:

I want to share a feature I just shipped in JirAI, a free Jira Cloud plugin.

The problem

When a coding agent (Claude Code or any other) fans out into subagents, the terminal shows one grey line per agent.

What the plugin does

The agent’s plan becomes a Virtual Board, an editor tab in the IDE:

It works with or without Jira.
A board can be linked to a Jira work item or run purely on the plan/spec Markdown files the agent already writes.
In that case, it’s local only, and nothing is written to Jira.
