SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Kanban Manager provides a structured, autonomous task management system based on a five-column kanban board to visualize and orchestrate project work, handle lifecycle transitions, and integrate with git and changelogs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autonomous task execution and scheduling using a five-column kanban view (Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Done, Verified).
  • Five operational modes (INIT_MODE, WORK_MODE, VERIFY_MODE, CORRECTION_MODE, ERROR_MODE) with metadata and automated transitions.
  • Git integration for commits, CHANGELOG updates, and traceable progress, plus conflict handling and error recovery.

Quick Start

Initialize a new kanban project to create a five-column board and schedule a recurring work session.

FAQPage Schema
How does a visual kanban board help with autonomous task execution?

A visual kanban board organizes project tasks into five columns—Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Done, and Verified—to visualize and autonomously orchestrate task lifecycle transitions. This structure enables automated scheduling and systematic progress tracking without manual intervention.

How do I initialize a kanban project for automated workflow scheduling?

To initialize a kanban project, you run INIT_MODE to create a five-column board and schedule a recurring work session. This setup establishes the task metadata structure required for autonomous execution and lifecycle management.

Can I integrate kanban task management with git commits and changelogs?

Yes, kanban task management supports git integration for commits and CHANGELOG updates. It handles conflict management and error recovery to ensure traceable progress throughout the project lifecycle.

What are the operational modes used for kanban task lifecycle transitions?

The operational modes for kanban task lifecycle transitions are INIT_MODE, WORK_MODE, VERIFY_MODE, CORRECTION_MODE, and ERROR_MODE. Each mode manages automated state changes and metadata updates to maintain reliable workflow progression.

How does the kanban system ensure traceable progress and prevent data loss?

The kanban system ensures traceable progress through required metadata, a strict non-deletion rule, and changelog updates. These safety measures guarantee that task history remains intact and recoverable during errors or corrections.

What is the best way to handle error recovery in autonomous project management?

The best way to handle error recovery in autonomous project management is using a dedicated ERROR_MODE within a five-column kanban system. This mode manages conflicts, enforces metadata requirements, and updates the changelog to maintain traceable progress.
