-- Asset hooks (`template:layout:css` and `template:layout:js`) that load a stylesheet and

+and returns to the board.
-  `Schema/`, `Locale/`, `Test/`) ready to grow into.
+
+- The menu entry is rendered by the `template:board:column:dropdown` hook (which sits
+  outside the native menu list), then moved into the menu by `Asset/js/relocate.js`.
+- The empty check counts open and closed tasks via a helper
+  (`Helper/OrganonColumnHelper.php`, `taskFinderModel->countByColumnId(...)`), since the
+  board's own count is open-only.
+- Only users allowed to manage columns see it, and the controller re-checks both the
+  permission and the emptiness before deleting.
+
+### Always show the comment icon
+
+Kanboard shows the comment icon on a board card only once it has at least one comment, so
+adding the *first* comment means opening the card and finding the sidebar link. With this
+tweak on, a card with no comments shows a comment bubble with a **"+"** that opens the same
+comment modal, letting you add the first comment straight from the board. Cards that already
+have comments keep showing the count as before.
+
+- Rendered by the `template:board:task:icons` hook (`Template/board/task_comment_icon.php`),
+  only when the card has no comments and the user may create one (so it does not show for
+  read-only viewers).
+- **On by default.** Toggle it under "Settings -> Organon Tweaks".

-1. Copy the folder and rename it, e.g. `plugins/MyPlugin/`. The folder name must match the
-   namespace and start with a capital letter.
-2. In `Plugin.php`, change the namespace from `Kanboard\Plugin\Skeleton` to
-   `Kanboard\Plugin\MyPlugin`.
-3. Update the metadata methods (`getPluginName`, `getPluginDescription`, `getPluginAuthor`,
-   `getPluginVersion`, `getPluginHomepage`, `getCompatibleVersion`).
-4. Update the hook target paths: the lowercase prefix in `'skeleton:layout/header'` and the
-   `plugins/Skeleton/Asset/...` asset paths must match the new plugin name.
-5. Replace `Template/layout/header.php` with your real template, or attach to a different
-   hook. See the Kanboard plugin hooks documentation for the full list of hook points.
