Web dashboard — real-time board with WebSocket updates
CLI-first task management built for automation. Agents get deterministic JSON output. Humans get a web dashboard. Runs on local SQLite or Linear.
Web dashboard — real-time board with WebSocket updates
Capabilities
Every command returns a structured JSON envelope. Deterministic, parseable, scriptable. Pass --pretty for human-readable output.
Interactive kanban board with WebSocket push updates. Filter by assignee, project, or priority. Works on desktop and mobile.
Run locally with SQLite for zero-config setup, or connect to Linear for team-scale issue tracking with the same CLI interface.
Add, move, assign, prioritize, and bulk-operate on tasks. Full CRUD with column management, activity logging, and metrics.
Structured error codes, consistent exit codes, and JSON envelopes make it trivial for AI agents to create, update, and track work.
Ship as a single container. Mount a volume for SQLite persistence or pass Linear credentials as env vars. Deploy anywhere.
Interface
# Initialize a board $ kanban board init { "ok": true, "data": { "columns": ["recurring","backlog","in-progress","review","done"] } } # Add a task with priority and assignee $ kanban task add "Set up CI pipeline" -p high -a alice { "ok": true, "data": { "id": "t_k7x2m", "title": "Set up CI pipeline", "priority": "high" } } # Move tasks through the board $ kanban task move t_k7x2m in-progress { "ok": true, "data": { "id": "t_k7x2m", "column": "in-progress" } } # View the board (human-friendly) $ kanban board view --pretty BACKLOG (1) IN-PROGRESS (1) REVIEW (0) DONE (0) ───────────── ───────────────── ────────── ──────── Write tests Set up CI pipeline medium high · alice # Start the web dashboard $ kanban serve Server running at http://localhost:3000
Backends
