FAQPage Schema

How do I manage multi-agent task handoffs using a CLI?▼

Multi-agent task handoffs are managed using the karr CLI, which tracks task progression across statuses on a file-based board. Agents use the handoff command to move tasks between columns, ensuring clear ownership transitions.

What is a file-based Kanban board for multi-agent workflows?▼

A file-based Kanban board for multi-agent workflows stores tasks in Git refs instead of a separate database. This approach enables version-controlled task tracking, allowing multiple agents to read and update task statuses locally.

How do I initialize a Kanban board and create tasks for local projects?▼

Initialize a Kanban board by running the init command, then use the create command to add new tasks. This establishes the local file-based board structure required before assigning work to agents.

Can I configure agent skills and board settings for task management?▼

Yes, board configurations and optional agent skills are supported. The config command adjusts board settings while the skill command installs, updates, or shows skills to equip agents for specific task requirements.

Does a file-based Kanban CLI work without external task management services?▼

Yes, the file-based Kanban CLI operates entirely without external task management services. It uses local Git refs to store the board, eliminating the need for separate databases or third-party tracking platforms.

What task lifecycle commands are available for tracking progression?▼

Available task lifecycle commands include init, create, list, board, pick, handoff, edit, and archive. These commands allow agents to claim tasks, update statuses, and archive completed work on the board.
