* All implementation steps are complete. Here's a summary of what was implemented: Implemented auto-linking of subtasks when creating tasks with 6 changes: 1. **`crates/db/src/models/task_attempt.rs`** - Added `find_by_branch()` query to look up task attempts by branch name within a project 2. **`crates/db/src/models/task.rs`** - Added: - `Clone` derive to `CreateTask` struct - `with_parent_from_branch()` helper method on `CreateTask` for fluent branch-based parent resolution - `update_parent_task_attempt()` method on `Task` to update parent linkage for existing tasks 3. **`crates/server/src/routes/tasks.rs`** - Updated `create_task_and_start()` to use `with_parent_from_branch()` helper before creating the task 4. **`crates/server/src/routes/task_attempts.rs`** - Updated `create_task_attempt()` to link existing tasks to parent attempts when `base_branch` matches an existing attempt's branch 5. **`crates/server/src/mcp/task_server.rs`** - Updated MCP `create_task` to automatically set `parent_task_attempt` from the current context's `attempt_id` 6. **`crates/db/.sqlx/`** - Updated SQLx query cache with the new queries * Cleanup script changes for task attempt 3bcb8f0d-6655-4b34-9cd2-c3c731795b78 * All implementation steps are complete. Here's a summary of what was implemented: ## Summary Auto-linking of subtasks when creating tasks is now implemented for all three scenarios: 1. **MCP create_task** (`task_server.rs:404-432`): When an AI agent creates a task via MCP while working in a worktree, the new task automatically becomes a subtask of the current attempt (uses `McpContext.attempt_id`) 2. **Branch-based targeting**: - `create_task_and_start` (`tasks.rs`): Uses `with_parent_from_branch` helper to auto-link when `base_branch` matches an existing attempt - `create_task_attempt` (`task_attempts.rs`): Updates existing task's parent when creating an attempt with a matching `base_branch` 3. **Rebase** (`task_attempts.rs:1249-1257`): When rebasing a task attempt onto another attempt's branch, the task's `parent_task_attempt` is updated to point to that attempt ### Files modified: - `crates/db/src/models/task_attempt.rs` - Added `find_by_branch` query - `crates/db/src/models/task.rs` - Added `Clone` derive, `with_parent_from_branch` helper, `update_parent_task_attempt` method - `crates/server/src/routes/tasks.rs` - Updated `create_task_and_start` - `crates/server/src/routes/task_attempts.rs` - Updated `create_task_attempt` and `rebase_task_attempt` - `crates/server/src/mcp/task_server.rs` - Updated MCP `create_task` * Cleanup script changes for task attempt 3bcb8f0d-6655-4b34-9cd2-c3c731795b78 * All 8 steps are now complete. Here's a summary of the implementation: ## Summary Added auto-linking of subtasks in the `change_target_branch` endpoint (`task_attempts.rs:1047-1055`). When a user changes a task attempt's target branch to match another attempt's branch, the task automatically becomes a subtask of that attempt. The full implementation now covers all 4 scenarios: 1. **MCP create_task** - Links via `McpContext.attempt_id` 2. **Branch-based targeting** - Links in `create_task_and_start` and `create_task_attempt` via `with_parent_from_branch` 3. **Rebase** - Links in `rebase_task_attempt` after successful git rebase 4. **Change target branch** - Links in `change_target_branch` after updating target_branch (newly added) * Done. Removed `from_title_description` helper from `task.rs` and updated `task_server.rs` to construct `CreateTask` directly with all fields set correctly. All checks pass.

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
- Open projects remotely via SSH when running Vibe Kanban on a remote server
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
We use GitHub Discussions for feature requests. Please open a discussion to create a feature request. For bugs please open an issue on this repo.
Contributing
We would prefer that ideas and changes are first raised with the core team via GitHub Discussions or Discord, 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
Additional development tools:
cargo install cargo-watch
cargo install sqlx-cli
Install dependencies:
pnpm i
Running the dev server
pnpm run dev
This will start the backend. A blank DB will be copied from the dev_assets_seed folder.
Building the frontend
To build just the frontend:
cd frontend
pnpm build
Build from source
- Run
build-npm-package.sh - In the
npx-clifolder runnpm pack - 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
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 |
HOST |
Runtime | 127.0.0.1 |
Backend server host |
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.
Remote Deployment
When running Vibe Kanban on a remote server (e.g., via systemctl, Docker, or cloud hosting), you can configure your editor to open projects via SSH:
- Access via tunnel: Use Cloudflare Tunnel, ngrok, or similar to expose the web UI
- Configure remote SSH in Settings → Editor Integration:
- Set Remote SSH Host to your server hostname or IP
- Set Remote SSH User to your SSH username (optional)
- Prerequisites:
- SSH access from your local machine to the remote server
- SSH keys configured (passwordless authentication)
- VSCode Remote-SSH extension
When configured, the "Open in VSCode" buttons will generate URLs like vscode://vscode-remote/ssh-remote+user@host/path that open your local editor and connect to the remote server.
See the documentation for detailed setup instructions.
