Practical Notes
- Setup time ~5 minutes (
npx vibe-kanban) - Two measurable outcomes: 1 issue created and 1 workspace run that produces a diff you can comment on
- GitHub stars + forks (verified): see Source & Thanks
This type of "agent kanban" tool is most useful when you enforce discipline:
- Every agent run starts from a well-scoped issue.
- Reviews are handled as comments on diffs (not in chat walls).
- Workspaces map 1:1 to branches so rollbacks are trivial.
If you're evaluating it for a team, start with a pilot: one repo, 3–5 issues, and a strict definition of done (tests pass, review complete, merge).
FAQ
Q: How do I start it?
A: Run npx vibe-kanban and open the local URL it prints.
Q: What does a workspace contain? A: A workspace is designed to bundle an agent run with a branch, terminal, and dev server context.
Q: Can I self-host? A: The repo includes self-hosting guidance; evaluate deployment + auth needs before rolling out.
