What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of managing coding agent work as messy, hard-to-track sessions by giving you a reliable CLI-driven Kanban workflow for creating, linking, starting, and reviewing tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Task lifecycle management: create tasks, start them with worktrees and agent sessions, move them through review, and archive them to trash.
• Dependency orchestration: link tasks so A waits for B, auto-unblocking A when B reaches the right lifecycle stage.
• Hook-based integrations: send runtime events via notify/ingest and wrap agent-specific behaviors (Gemini and Codex) to fit Kanban’s completion and review flow.
• Configuration and storage visibility: manage global/project config, understand data directories, and troubleshoot with direct checks of stored JSON.
• Codex guardrails: applies special handling for Codex completion detection by using auto-review commit mode and avoiding incompatible modes/patterns.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to help you start the Kanban runtime and create a new implementation task with auto-review enabled, then return the task ID you should use for starting the task and linking dependencies.
