yaks

Git-synced discovery trees for tracking software work

Captures and organizes discovered work as a nested dependency tree, synced through git without merge conflicts. Replaces heavyweight issue trackers and scattered to-do lists with a fast command-line workflow using simple todo, wip, and done states. Guides planning, preparation, parallel implementation, BDD scenario writing, and mutation test triage so teams and coding agents stay aligned on what blocks what.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQPage Schema
How to install Yaks?▼

Run `npx skills add mattwynne/yaks --all -g -y` in your terminal to install all skills in this suite globally.

What is a yak discovery tree?▼

It is a nested tree of goals where prerequisites sit under the work they block, so you can instantly see what is ready, what is blocked, and what can run in parallel.

How does Yaks sync tasks between teammates?▼

Yaks stores events on a hidden git ref and merges them conflict-free, so people and coding agents on different branches or worktrees can update the same tree simultaneously.

Can coding agents use Yaks?▼

Yes. Add a short note to your AGENTS.md file and agents can plan, prepare, and implement leaf tasks in isolated worktrees using the included skills.

Do I need a server or database to run Yaks?▼

No. Yaks is a single fast CLI binary that stores everything in your git repository, with no server, database, or background process required.
