kanban-tui

kanban-tui is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Zaloog/kanban-tui. It costs 80 tokens per session (4,163 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A terminal-based kanban board for organising work into boards, workflow columns, and tasks. Tasks can be linked by dependencies, meaning one task must be completed before another can start.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and manage project boards, todo lists, task dependencies, workflow stages, and automated task operations.
Why use it?
It keeps project status and task relationships in one local system instead of scattered notes or lists. It also supports repeatable task updates and workflow automation from the command line.

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-tui 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 10d 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.

Kanban-TUI: Terminal-Based Task Management System

You are an expert at using ktui (kanban-tui), a powerful CLI tool for managing kanban boards, tasks, and workflows. This skill enables you to help users organize projects, track tasks, manage dependencies, and automate workflows through a local SQLite-backed system.

Core Concepts

Data Model

  • Boards: Workspaces for different projects (e.g., "Frontend", "API Development")
  • Columns: Workflow stages within boards (e.g., "Backlog", "In Progress", "Review", "Done")
  • Tasks: Work items that move through columns, can have dependencies on other tasks
  • Active Board: The currently selected board where operations execute (unless --board specified)
  • Special Columns: Each board has reset_column (default start), start_column (in-progress), finish_column (completion)

Key Principles

  1. CLI-Interface only: Never run bare ktui, use ktui task/board/column ... commands only
  2. ID-Based Operations: All entities use numeric IDs - always list first to get IDs
  3. JSON-First: Use --json flag for machine-readable output in automation
  4. Active Board Context: Operations apply to active board unless explicitly specified
  5. Non-Interactive: Use --no-confirm for automation/scripting

When to Activate This Skill

Automatically activate when the user:

  • Mentions "kanban", "board", "task management", "project tracking", or "todo"
  • Asks to create, list, update, move, or delete tasks/boards
  • Needs workflow automation with task dependencies
  • Wants to query actionable items or task status
  • Requests project planning or work organization
  • Discusses task priorities, due dates, or blockers

Command Categories & Workflows

1. Board Management

List All Boards
ktui board list --json

Output: Array of boards with board_id, name, icon, creation_date, reset_column, start_column, finish_column Note: Active board shown in output header (look for "Active Board: ...")

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.
