# Vibe Kanban
> A visual project management tool for developers that integrates with git repositories and coding agents like Claude Code and Amp.
## Quick Start
Run vibe kanban instantly without installation:
```bash
npx vibe-kanban
```
This will launch the application locally and open it in your browser automatically.
## What is Vibe Kanban?
Vibe Kanban is a modern project management tool designed specifically for developers. It helps you organize your coding projects with kanban-style task management while providing powerful integrations with git repositories and AI coding agents.
### ✨ Key Features
**🗂️ Project Management**
- Add git repositories as projects (existing or create new ones)
- Automatic git integration and repository validation
- Project search functionality across all files
- Custom setup and development scripts per project
**📋 Task Management**
- Create and manage tasks with kanban-style boards
- Task status tracking (Todo, In Progress, Done)
- Rich task descriptions and notes
- Task execution with multiple AI agents
**🤖 AI Agent Integration**
- **Claude**: Advanced AI coding assistant
- **Amp**: Powerful development agent
- **Echo**: Simple testing/debugging agent
- Create tasks and immediately start agent execution
- Follow-up task execution for iterative development
**⚡ Development Workflow**
- Create isolated git worktrees for each task attempt
- View diffs of changes made by agents
- Merge successful changes back to main branch
- Rebase task branches to stay up-to-date
- Manual file editing and deletion
- Integrated development server support
**🎛️ Developer Tools**
- Browse and validate git repositories from filesystem
- Open task worktrees in your preferred editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, IntelliJ, Zed)
- Real-time execution monitoring and process control
- Stop running processes individually or all at once
- Sound notifications for task completion
## How It Works
1. **Add Projects**: Import existing git repositories or create new ones
2. **Create Tasks**: Define what needs to be built or fixed
3. **Execute with AI**: Let coding agents work on your tasks in isolated environments
4. **Review Changes**: See exactly what was modified using git diffs
5. **Merge Results**: Incorporate successful changes into your main codebase
## Core Functionality
Vibe Kanban provides a complete project management experience with these key capabilities:
**Project Repository Management**
- Full CRUD operations for managing coding projects
- Automatic git repository detection and validation
- Initialize new repositories or import existing ones
- Project-wide file search functionality
**Task Lifecycle Management**
- Create, update, and delete tasks with rich descriptions
- Track task progress through customizable status workflows
- One-click task creation with immediate AI agent execution
- Task attempt tracking with detailed execution history
**AI Agent Execution Environment**
- Isolated git worktrees for safe code experimentation
- Real-time execution monitoring and activity logging
- Process management with ability to stop individual or all processes
- Support for follow-up executions to iterate on solutions
**Code Change Management**
- View detailed diffs of all changes made during task execution
- Branch status monitoring to track divergence from main
- One-click merging of successful changes back to main branch
- Automatic rebasing to keep task branches up-to-date
- Manual file deletion and cleanup capabilities
**Development Integration**
- Open task worktrees directly in your preferred code editor
- Start and manage development servers for testing changes
- Browse local filesystem to add new projects
- Health monitoring for service availability
## Configuration
Vibe Kanban supports customization through its configuration system:
- **Editor Integration**: Choose your preferred code editor
- **Sound Notifications**: Customize completion sounds
- **Project Defaults**: Set default setup and development scripts
## Technical Architecture
- **Backend**: Rust with Axum web framework
- **Frontend**: React with TypeScript
- **Database**: SQLite for local data storage
- **Git Integration**: Native git operations for repository management
- **Process Management**: Tokio-based async execution monitoring
## Requirements
- Node.js (for npx execution)
- Git (for repository operations)
- Your preferred code editor (optional, for opening task worktrees)
## Supported Platforms
- Linux x64
- Windows x64
- macOS x64 (Intel)
- macOS ARM64 (Apple Silicon)
## Use Cases
**🔧 Bug Fixes**
- Create a task describing the bug
- Let an AI agent analyze and fix the issue
- Review the proposed changes
- Merge if satisfied, or provide follow-up instructions
**✨ Feature Development**
- Break down features into manageable tasks
- Use agents for initial implementation
- Iterate with follow-up executions
- Test using integrated development servers
**🚀 Project Setup**
- Bootstrap new projects with AI assistance
- Set up development environments
- Configure build and deployment scripts
**📚 Code Documentation**
- Generate documentation for existing code
- Create README files and API documentation
- Maintain up-to-date project information
