What is Cline Kanban?

Cline Kanban is a terminal-launched kanban board that runs in your browser. Each task card gets its own git worktree and terminal, so you can run multiple coding agents in parallel without merge conflicts. You create tasks, assign them to agents, review diffs, leave inline comments, and ship commits or PRs — all from one interface. It runs locally, requires no account or setup, and works out of the box from any git repository.
npm i -g cline

How It Works

  1. Run cline from the root of any git repo — a local web server opens in your browser
  2. Create task cards manually or ask the sidebar chat agent to break work into tasks
  3. Hit play on a card — Kanban creates an ephemeral worktree and starts an agent
  4. Monitor progress — each card shows the agent’s latest message or tool call
  5. Review diffs — click a card to see all changes, leave inline comments to steer the agent
  6. Ship it — hit Commit or Open PR, then trash the card to clean up the worktree

Key Capabilities

Parallel Execution

Each task runs in its own git worktree with its own terminal. Multiple agents work simultaneously without stepping on each other.

Unified Task Board

Create, triage, link, and monitor all agent tasks from a single browser-based kanban board.

Works With Existing Agents

Compatible with CLI agents you already use — Cline, Claude Code, and Codex. Kanban uses experimental features that bypass permissions and runtime hooks for more agent autonomy.

Next Steps
