I built a small kanban board that my coding agents update with curl

Описание и применение

KanbanEasy – локальная доска задач, которую агенты обновляют через curl, позволяя быстро отслеживать прогресс без внешних сервисов.

Задача

Managing task status for coding agents becomes confusing when multiple sessions run concurrently, and simple tools like TODO.md or commercial boards feel overkill for a one‑person workflow.

Результат

KanbanEasy provides a lightweight, local kanban board that integrates seamlessly with coding agents via simple curl commands, enabling real‑time task tracking without external services.

Рабочий процесс

• Open KanbanEasy docked beside the editor
• Agents claim a card with curl -s -d assignee=claude localhost:7420/claim
• Agents add comments with curl -s -H 'X-Actor: claude' --data-urlencode body='Tests pass' localhost:7420/issues/KE-7/comments
• Agents move cards to review with curl -s -X PATCH -d status=review localhost:7420/issues/KE-7
• Human adds new cards by pressing N and typing a title that encodes label, assignee, and priority
• Human reviews cards and moves them between columns
• The board updates automatically and logs all actions

Доказательства

I tried a TODO.md, but I never looked at it. Jira or Linear felt silly for a one‑person project.

While the app is open it serves a JSON API on 127.0.0.1:7420.

Every agent I use can already run a shell command, so curl is enough

I wanted adding a card to cost almost nothing. Press N, type something like Fix flaky test #ci @agent !high and press Enter.

The whole board is one readable JSON file in a KanbanEasy folder in your home directory.
