# Kanban

> Use Cline Kanban to run multiple coding agents in parallel with isolated git worktrees.

<Warning>
  Kanban is a **research preview**. Some features described here use experimental capabilities. Expect changes.
</Warning>

## Prerequisites

* Node.js 18+
* A git repository (run from repo root)
* Kanban launcher available (`npx kanban`)

## Quick Start

```bash theme={"system"}
cd /path/to/your/repo
npx kanban
```

This starts a local server and opens the board in your browser.

## Core Workflow

1. **Create tasks** on the board (manually or from sidebar chat).
2. **Start tasks** with play — each card gets an isolated git worktree + terminal.
3. **Monitor progress** from card status and latest agent output.
4. **Review diffs** in card detail view and leave inline comments.
5. **Ship changes** via Commit or Open PR.
6. **Clean up** by moving cards to trash (worktrees are removed).

## Key Capabilities

* **Parallel execution:** each task runs in a separate worktree to avoid conflicts.
* **Task linking:** dependency chains can auto-start next tasks.
* **Inline review loop:** comment directly on diff lines to steer agent work.
* **Auto-commit / Auto-PR:** optional automation from settings.
* **Sidebar chat orchestration:** ask an agent to break work into cards and start flows.

## Agent Compatibility

Kanban is designed for CLI-style coding agents and currently works with Cline CLI, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and related runtimes available in settings.
