description: "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
|
|
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.
