Kanban board
SkillFiles & storageManage the file-based task board with akb. Use for creating and planning tasks, revising or implementing cards, planning releases, and managing background runs; also for "what's next" and "what's running".
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.
Then ask your AI: use the Kanban board skill
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by ai4kanban/ai4kanban in skill/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Use akb as the source of truth. Load the relevant command's instructions instead of
reconstructing workflows from memory.
Use akb in the commands below. If it is not on PATH, use npx --yes ai4kanban@latest
instead, state that once, and never install the command globally.
- Board: default to
docs/kanban/. For an explicitly named board, pass--board <dir>on every command; never guess another board. - Discovery: use
akb help,akb <command> --help, andakb guidefor commands, arguments, and workflows. - Setup: if no board exists, run
akb install. Ifsetup-checklist.mdremains, finishsetupfirst.
Execution mode
Use --print for the in-session actions below and follow the complete printed flow,
including its closing steps. Direct commands execute immediately; do not add --print.
For all other agent work, choose the execution mode as appropriate; default to a separate
session without --print. Explicit user requests take precedence.
Command (after akb) | Mode |
|---|---|
card revise <id> <what> | In-session (--print) |
card resolve <id> [note] | In-session (--print) |
card archive <id> | In-session (--print) |
card reject <id> <why> (--discard to drop it with no memory) | In-session (--print) |
spec <agent> <id> [note] | In-session (--print); continue the parent workflow afterward |
guide <topic>, help, spec, agent, raw … | Direct |
run list, run log, run stop, run resume | Direct; resume restarts a separate run |
delivery answered, delivery approve, delivery cancel, delivery resume, delivery discard | Direct |
Route ambiguous requests
- "What's next?": follow
akb guide next-card; choose existing work. - "What are we missing?" or sources to mine: follow
akb guide extract-ideas; find new work. - Refine / resolve / revise: clarify the plan / apply answers / change requirements. When two fit, choose the smaller change.
Boundaries
- Metadata: edit card bodies directly; change frontmatter only through
akb rawcommands. - Agent rules: follow the board's rules supplied with the flow. Edit those rules only when the user asks.
- Credentials: do not read or write API keys; have the user configure them with
akb agent set apiKey.
