VS Code Extension

A kanban board that lives in your codebase.

A kanban board inside your editor. Features stored as markdown — version-controllable, human-readable, AI-ready.

How it works

Your board is just files

Each feature is a markdown file with YAML frontmatter. Click a card to move it — watch the file update.

Why Kanban Markdown?

Project management that lives with your code

Git-native

Diff your board. Branch your workflow. Review features in pull requests. Your project management has a full commit history.

AI-ready

Plain markdown means any AI agent can read and update your board. Hit "Build with AI" and your agent starts implementing.

Zero SaaS

No accounts, no cloud, no subscriptions. Your data stays in your repo. Works offline, works forever.

AI Integration

Built for AI agents

Hit “Build with AI” on any card. Your agent gets full context — title, priority, labels, description — and starts implementing. Pair it with the kanban skill and agents can manage the board autonomously.
