Run many AI coding agents at once without merge conflicts. Kanban gives each task card its own isolated git worktree and terminal so agents work in parallel. Review diffs, leave inline comments, and ship commits or PRs directly from the board.
Kanban is a research preview and uses experimental features of CLI agents like bypassing permissions and runtime hooks for more autonomy.

How it works

1

Open kanban from your repo

Run npx kanban from the root of any git repository. Kanban detects your installed CLI agent, starts a local web server, and opens the board in your browser — no account required.
npx kanban
2

Create tasks on the board

Add task cards manually or open the sidebar and ask your agent to break a large feature into tasks for you. Each card holds a prompt, a base branch, and optional automation settings.
3

Start tasks — agents run in parallel

Hit the play button on any card. Kanban creates an isolated git worktree for that task and launches the agent inside it. Multiple tasks run concurrently without interfering with each other.
4

Review, commit, and ship

When an agent finishes, click the card to see a diff of every change. Leave inline comments to send feedback back to the agent, then commit or open a PR directly from the board.

​
Key features

Parallel worktrees

Every task gets its own git worktree. Agents never step on each other, and node_modules are symlinked so startup is instant.

Task dependencies

Link cards so one task auto-starts when its prerequisite completes. Combine with auto-commit for fully autonomous pipelines.

Live agent status

Kanban uses hooks to display the latest tool call or message on each card so you can monitor dozens of agents at a glance.

Built-in diff viewer

View every file changed in a task’s worktree, with line-level comments you can send back to the agent.

Auto-commit & auto-PR

Enable auto-review and the agent commits or opens a PR as soon as it finishes — no manual review step needed.

Git interface

Browse commit history, switch branches, fetch, pull, and push without leaving Kanban.
