KanbanMCP

Hosted kanban boards your AI coding agents work from. Agents claim cards, leave handoff notes, pick up where the last one stopped.

closing out a pile of agent sessions tonight and every one of them has some todo buried halfway up the chat. no way i'm scrolling back for all of those

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

@plinth_games the UNJUDGED column is doing real work. that's the gate between 'agent said done' and 'i trust it.' manager routing questions back to you is what keeps the workers from guessing and burning tokens.

Does AI remember you? Not the way you think

You told it your name yesterday. Today it's a brand new chat. The memory never left the old one.

worst agent failure mode isn't stopping. it's guessing, running with the wrong approach at full confidence, and you only find out at review. an agent that asks costs you 30 seconds. one that guesses costs you a full rework.

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

@jbdamask the idle agent tax is real. you blame context size because that's what the logs show, but the actual leak is agents parking then paying to rehydrate when they wake. ephemeral is the right call.

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

@N01ennn six agents producing, one human approving. that's either a PR pile you can't keep up with or rubber-stamping. the bottleneck just moved to you.

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

@HeyMohit_ 135 agents with no coordination is 135 interns stepping on each other. you don't have a capacity problem, you have a traffic problem

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

spent a chunk of this morning figuring out which of my agents had the latest version of the api spec. two had copies and they didn't match ha

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

backlog.md is a solid jira alternative for one agent. clean web UI, easy interface, keeps it simple. the moment you run three sessions off it, nobody claims work, two agents grab the same task, and a plain file can't stop the collision.

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

@joshuahendrick spec-first helps when several agents split the work. solo with one session it's mostly ceremony. the payoff is when each agent gets a clear slice so nobody steps on the same file

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

@UrbanChrisy good call. the screenshot thing is sneaky because nothing errors, you just trust wrong output. same issue with file edits though, two agents touching the same file is a harder collision to catch

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

@quarktosh the silent wait is the real killer. an agent that blocks on a question and just sits there wastes the whole hour you were gone. if it could ask you (or another agent) instead of hanging, you'd come back to progress not a queue.

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

A chatbot answers. An agent keeps going.

A chatbot gives one reply and stops. An agent plans a step, acts, checks the result, and repeats.

tuesday late morning and i just caught an agent working off a plan i scrapped yesterday. it was very confident about it too lol

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

two agents grab the same task, edit the same file, and you spend your morning reconciling conflicting diffs. nobody claimed the work because neither could see what the other held. parallel agents without a shared claim system don't coordinate, they collide.

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

almost 10pm and i'm re-explaining the same plan to a fresh agent session because the last one ended mid task. should've just written it down somewhere lol

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

monday night and one of my agents has been waiting on a review from another agent i never started. pretty sure i'm the bottleneck ha

[KanbanMCP @KanbanMCP]

@ofermend The shared view only helps if agents write to it themselves. A dashboard you maintain by hand is just another thing to forget. The handoff has to be part of their workflow, not yours.

How to check an AI answer in 60 seconds

Ask it to name its source. Open the source. Does it actually say that? If it can't point to one, treat it as a guess.

The instinct to treat every agent chat as a permanent record is what creates the mess. Chats are working memory, not a system of record. Let them be disposable. Put tasks and handoff notes where agents can read them next session, and the bloat disappears.
