kanban

kanban is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShaftHQ/SHAFT_ENGINE. It costs 40 tokens per session (918 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Kanban workflow for managing several pieces of work through stages such as ready, doing, review, and done. Kanban is a board-based way to limit work in progress and track completion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate multiple deliverables, tickets, or delegates while controlling writing and review capacity.
Why use it?
It prevents too many tasks from being started at once and defines when work may move forward, including required acceptance criteria and proof.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kanban scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 13d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Kanban task flow

Use when work has more than one deliverable, more than one ticket, or any delegate. Flow beats busyness: finish before starting.

Board

Keep one board per task as JSON (models corrupt JSON less than prose) in the session state directory, never in tracked files:

{"wip": {"doing": 1, "review": 2},
 "cards": [{"id": "T1", "title": "...", "column": "ready",
            "acceptance": ["..."], "proof": "command that proves it",
            "evidence": null, "pr": null}]}

Columns: backlog -> ready -> doing -> review -> done.

  • ready requires acceptance criteria and a proof command. No criteria, no pull.
  • doing WIP 1 writer per repository: one card being edited at a time.
  • review WIP 2: at two cards waiting for review or CI, pull nothing new.
  • done only when the Definition of Done holds.

Pull rule

Every session, turn, and wake starts by draining right to left: open PRs and review (red or ACTION_REQUIRED checks, behind base, conflicts, review comments, auto-merge off), then doing, then shipped bugs or red default branch. Pull a new ready card only when nothing downstream is actionable, and only while review has capacity; waiting on CI counts as idle. Never leave a started card to start another. Never push work forward. Group related cards into the fewest safe pull requests. Avoid PRs that depend on other open PRs; land them in order and merge base once before the final push.

Definition of Done

A card is done when all hold:

  1. Every acceptance criterion is met and its proof command output is attached.
  2. Tests for new behavior were red first, then green.
  3. One fresh-context review is clean; a second round only for blocker findings.
  4. Required checks are green on the exact head after one blocking wait per push (gh pr checks --watch --fail-fast or gh run watch); retry once, then stop and report. Never re-verify what already passed.
  5. Every finding raised while working is closed (see below), including static-analysis and code-quality review threads (fix or reply, then resolve) before the PR counts as ready.
  6. Merged or handed off as instructed; worktree cleaned.
  7. After any CE harness change merges, every agent and delegate reloads the latest harness from main before continuing. After each completed delivery run python3 .chaos-engine/tool.py maintain (fast-forward with local edits kept, reinstall, doctor, stale-store refresh, reload).
  8. Ship to-deliver items in the fewest pull requests; group related issues.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
