Cline Kanban

CLI-agnostic kanban for multi-agent orchestration

Cline Kanban Introduction

Cline Kanban is a browser-based kanban board designed for orchestrating multiple coding agents in parallel using git worktrees to prevent merge conflicts. It allows users to create, manage, and link agent tasks from a unified interface, compatible with CLI agents like Cline, Claude Code, and Codex. The tool runs locally without requiring accounts or complex setup, making it accessible directly from any git repository.
