kanban

kanban is a skill for Claude Code from Xakki/ai-agents-skills. It costs 25 tokens per session (3,582 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for managing a file-based Kanban board, where tasks move through stages such as grooming, todo, progress, testing, ready, and done. It defines task IDs, stage rules, and completion boundaries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, refine, start, complete, or review tasks and to manage larger epics with tracked subtasks.
Why use it?
It gives task work a consistent status and lifecycle, reducing confusion about what has started, what needs review, and what still requires user approval.

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions subagents; names the AskUserQuestion tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 19 executable files (scripts/kanban-id.sh, scripts/kanban-lib.sh, scripts/kanban-lint.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 232 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Stages

Stage Path Description
Grooming .claude/kanban/grooming/ Draft tasks with open questions / unresolved scope
Todo .claude/kanban/todo/ Refined tasks ready to start
Progress .claude/kanban/progress/ Currently being worked on
Test .claude/kanban/test/ Implementation handed off; review/QA in progress
Ready .claude/kanban/ready/ Auto-review passed; awaiting authorized finalization
Done .claude/kanban/done/ Authorized completion

Lifecycle: grooming → todo → progress → test → ready → done.

grooming/ and ready/ are agent-boundary stages: autonomous runs never enter grooming/ and never advance past ready/, except an EPIC with recorded EPIC-scoped upfront autonomous authorization as defined in Done below.

IDs & Prefix

Every card carries <PREFIX>-<NUM> (epic subtasks: <PREFIX>-<NUM>-<NN>, see Epics below). Counters live in <repo>/.claude/kanban.lock (git-committed, flock-guarded, reconciled against cards actually on the board on every allocation — a stale counter after a merge can't hand out a duplicate ID). First use in a project (no prefix= yet) is a confirmation, never a guess. kanban-id.sh next/prefix exits 2 with the board's candidate prefixes (existing board cards win by count if any, else a dir-name-derived one) — on that exit, ask the user which to use (AskUserQuestion, candidates as options, recommended one first) and then run kanban-id.sh set-prefix <PREFIX> to confirm it; don't auto-pick and don't retry silently. Full mechanics, lock format, prefix registry → scripts.md.

Scripts

Set ROOT="${AI_AGENTS_SKILLS_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CURSOR_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}}}}" and S="$ROOT/skills/kanban/scripts", then invoke every script below as "$S"/<name> — never by bare name (optional leading --repo <path>, default git toplevel):

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.
