In plain English

Vibe Kanban is a tool for anyone using AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Codex. As AI agents take on more of the actual coding work, human engineers are shifting toward planning, reviewing, and managing those tasks. This project gives you a central dashboard to do exactly that, think of it as a project management board specifically designed for overseeing AI coding agents. At its core, the tool lets you switch between different coding agents and orchestrate multiple agents running in parallel or in sequence. You can track the status of each task your agents are working on, quickly review their output, and start development servers to test the results. It also centralizes configuration for your coding agents and includes options for opening projects remotely via SSH when the tool is running on a remote server. The primary audience is developers or technical founders who regularly use AI coding assistants and want to manage multiple agent-driven tasks without losing track of progress. For example, if you have three separate features being built by different agents at the same time, this tool provides a visual board to monitor each one, review the code, and spin up a test environment. You can get started by running a single command (npx vibe-kanban) in your terminal, provided you already have your preferred coding agent authenticated. The project is built with a Rust backend and a TypeScript frontend, and it can run entirely on your local machine or be self-hosted on a remote server. For those who want to deploy it on a cloud server with a custom domain, the tool supports reverse proxy setups and allows you to configure your local editor to open remote projects over SSH. The README doesn't go into deep detail on every feature, but it points to the project's website for full documentation and user guides.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1
Set up Vibe Kanban on my machine and connect it to Claude Code so I can track multiple agent tasks on a kanban board.
Prompt 2
Help me configure Vibe Kanban to run on a remote server with SSH access so I can manage AI coding agents from my local browser.
Prompt 3
Write a workflow where Vibe Kanban orchestrates three Codex agents building different features in parallel, then launches a dev server to test the combined output.
Prompt 4
Show me how to use npx vibe-kanban to visually track and review the output of multiple Gemini CLI coding agents.
