## What it is
A local web application that provides a kanban board for running CLI coding agents in parallel, giving each task card its own terminal and git worktree. It supports dependency chains between tasks with auto-commit for autonomous multi-task workflows.

## Use cases
- run multiple coding agents in parallel on one repo
- break a big task into subtasks and execute them autonomously
- review agent diffs from a kanban board
- avoid merge conflicts when agents work concurrently
- chain tasks so completing one auto-starts the next

## When to choose
- you use CLI coding agents and want to parallelize work across git worktrees
- you want autonomous dependency-chained task execution with auto-commit
- you prefer a visual board over an IDE for agent-driven development

## When to avoid
- you need a production-stable tool - it's a research preview using experimental agent features like bypassed permissions
- you don't use git or CLI coding agents
- you're uncomfortable with agents running with elevated autonomy

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: agent-framework, workflow-automation, developer-tools, cli, http-server
- domain: developer-tools, version-control
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: kanban-board, coding-agents, parallel-agents, git-worktrees, task-management, auto-commit, research-preview, ai-agents, automation, nodejs, web-server
