Gabriel Gordon-Hall 471d28defd feat: task templates (vibe-kanban) (#197)
* I've successfully implemented task templates for vibe-kanban with the following features:

- Created a new `task_templates` table with fields for:
  - `id` (UUID primary key)
  - `project_id` (nullable for global templates)
  - `title` (default task title)
  - `description` (default task description)
  - `template_name` (display name for the template)
  - Timestamps for tracking creation/updates

- Created `TaskTemplate` model with full CRUD operations
- Added REST API endpoints:
  - `GET /api/templates` - List all templates
  - `GET /api/templates/global` - List only global templates
  - `GET /api/projects/:project_id/templates` - List templates for a project (includes global)
  - `GET /api/templates/:id` - Get specific template
  - `POST /api/templates` - Create template
  - `PUT /api/templates/:id` - Update template
  - `DELETE /api/templates/:id` - Delete template

1. **Task Creation Dialog**:
   - Added template selector dropdown when creating new tasks
   - Templates are fetched based on project context
   - Selecting a template pre-fills title and description fields
   - User can edit pre-filled values before creating the task

2. **Global Settings**:
   - Added "Task Templates" section to manage global templates
   - Full CRUD interface with table view
   - Create/Edit dialog for template management

3. **Project Settings**:
   - Modified project form to use tabs when editing
   - Added "Task Templates" tab for project-specific templates
   - Same management interface as global settings

- **Scope Management**: Templates can be global (available to all projects) or project-specific
- **User Experience**: Template selection is optional and doesn't interfere with normal task creation
- **Data Validation**: Unique template names within same scope (global or per-project)
- **UI Polish**: Clean interface with loading states, error handling, and confirmation dialogs

The implementation allows users to create reusable task templates that streamline the task creation process by pre-filling common values while still allowing full editing before submission.

* improve styling

* address review comments

* fix unqiue contraint on tempaltes

* distinguish between local and global templates in UI

* keyboard shortcuts for task creation

* add dropdown on project page to select templates

* update types

* add default global task templates

npm Build status

Overview

AI coding agents are increasingly writing the world's code and human engineers now spend the majority of their time planning, reviewing, and orchestrating tasks. Vibe Kanban streamlines this process, enabling you to:

  • Easily switch between different coding agents
  • Orchestrate the execution of multiple coding agents in parallel or in sequence
  • Quickly review work and start dev servers
  • Track the status of tasks that your coding agents are working on
  • Centralise configuration of coding agent MCP configs

You can watch a video overview here.

Installation

Make sure you have authenticated with your favourite coding agent. A full list of supported coding agents can be found in the docs. Then in your terminal run:

npx vibe-kanban

Documentation

Please head to the website for the latest documentation and user guides.

Support

Please open an issue on this repo if you find any bugs or have any feature requests.

Contributing

We would prefer that ideas and changes are raised with the core team via GitHub issues, where we can discuss implementation details and alignment with the existing roadmap. Please do not open PRs without first discussing your proposal with the team.

Development

Prerequisites

pnpm i

Running the dev server

pnpm run dev

This will start the frontend and backend with live reloading. A blank DB will be copied from the dev_assets_seed folder.

Build from source

  1. Run build-npm-package.sh
  2. In the npx-cli folder run npm pack
  3. You can run your build with npx [GENERATED FILE].tgz

Environment Variables

The following environment variables can be configured at build time or runtime:

Variable Type Default Description
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID Build-time Ov23li9bxz3kKfPOIsGm GitHub OAuth app client ID for authentication
POSTHOG_API_KEY Build-time Empty PostHog analytics API key (disables analytics if empty)
POSTHOG_API_ENDPOINT Build-time Empty PostHog analytics endpoint (disables analytics if empty)
BACKEND_PORT Runtime 0 (auto-assign) Backend server port
FRONTEND_PORT Runtime 3000 Frontend development server port
DISABLE_WORKTREE_ORPHAN_CLEANUP Runtime Not set Disable git worktree cleanup (for debugging)

Build-time variables must be set when running pnpm run build. Runtime variables are read when the application starts.

Custom GitHub OAuth App (Optional)

By default, Vibe Kanban uses Bloop AI's GitHub OAuth app for authentication. To use your own GitHub app for self-hosting or custom branding:

  1. Create a GitHub OAuth App at GitHub Developer Settings
  2. Enable "Device Flow" in the app settings
  3. Set scopes to include user:email,repo
  4. Build with your client ID:
    GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here pnpm run build
