# Vibe Kanban — AI Task Manager for Coding Agents

> Vibe Kanban helps developers get more out of Claude Code, Codex, or any coding agent by organizing tasks into an AI-powered Kanban board with automatic task decomposition and progress tracking.

# Vibe Kanban — AI Task Manager for Coding Agents

## Quick Use
```bash
git clone https://github.com/BloopAI/vibe-kanban.git
cd vibe-kanban
cargo build --release
./target/release/vibe-kanban
```

## Introduction
Vibe Kanban is a task management tool built specifically for AI-assisted coding workflows. It structures development work into Kanban cards that coding agents can pick up, execute, and report on, bringing project management discipline to agentic coding sessions.

## What Vibe Kanban Does
- Breaks down high-level tasks into agent-executable subtasks
- Tracks coding agent progress across multiple parallel workstreams
- Provides a visual Kanban board for managing AI coding sessions
- Integrates with Claude Code, Codex, and other agent CLIs
- Records task outcomes for retrospective analysis and learning

## Architecture Overview
Vibe Kanban is written in Rust for performance. It maintains a local task store and exposes both a TUI dashboard and a REST API. Coding agents interact with the board through structured task protocols, pulling work items and reporting completions. The system uses git worktrees to isolate parallel agent work.

## Self-Hosting & Configuration
- Build from source with Rust toolchain or download prebuilt binaries
- Initialize a board in your project directory with vibe-kanban init
- Configure agent integrations in the project settings file
- Set concurrency limits for parallel agent tasks
- Optionally connect to GitHub Issues for two-way task sync

## Key Features
- Automatic task decomposition from natural language descriptions
- Parallel task execution across multiple agent instances
- Real-time progress dashboard in the terminal
- Git worktree isolation for concurrent changes
- Token cost tracking per task and per agent

## Comparison with Similar Tools
- **GitHub Issues** — manual task management; Vibe Kanban is agent-aware
- **Linear** — team-focused project management; Vibe Kanban is agent-focused
- **Plane** — general project management; Vibe Kanban integrates with agent CLIs
- **Mission Control** — orchestration-focused; Vibe Kanban is task-board-focused

## FAQ
**Q: Does Vibe Kanban replace my existing project management tool?**
A: No. It complements them by providing an agent-facing task layer that can sync with tools like GitHub Issues.

**Q: Which coding agents work with Vibe Kanban?**
A: Claude Code, Codex CLI, and any agent that supports structured task input via CLI.

**Q: Can multiple agents work on the same board?**
A: Yes. The board supports concurrent task assignment with git worktree isolation to prevent conflicts.

**Q: Is a graphical UI available?**
A: Vibe Kanban provides a TUI (terminal UI) dashboard. A web UI is on the roadmap.
