SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

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.

FAQPage Schema
How do I manage coding agent tasks on a Kanban board?

You can manage coding agent tasks on a Kanban board by using a CLI-driven workflow to create tasks, start them with worktrees and agent sessions, move them through review, and archive them to trash.

How do I orchestrate task dependencies so one task waits for another to finish?

You orchestrate task dependencies by linking tasks so A waits for B, automatically unblocking task A when task B reaches the correct lifecycle stage during your workflow.

Does Cline Kanban work with Gemini and Codex agent sessions?

Yes, Cline Kanban works with Gemini and Codex by wrapping agent-specific behaviors to fit the Kanban completion and review flow, including special guardrails for Codex completion detection.

Why do tasks get stuck in review when using Codex completion detection?

Tasks get stuck in review with Codex because of incompatible modes. You prevent this by applying special handling using auto-review commit mode and avoiding incompatible patterns for Codex completion detection.

How do I start a new implementation task with auto-review enabled?

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

Can I use hook-driven integrations to send runtime events for task lifecycle transitions?

Yes, you can use hook-based integrations to send runtime events via notify and ingest actions, wrapping agent-specific behaviors to drive task lifecycle transitions across backlog, in_progress, review, and trash states.
