Get started

A board and a knowledge graph in your repo, set up in a handful of commands.

Install and run

npm install -g kanbento
cd your-repo
kanbento init                      # board + operating guide + root anchors
kanbento capture "ship the login fix"
kanbento commit login-fix          # cross the commitment point
kanbento transition login-fix in_progress
kanbento transition login-fix done

That’s a full loop: install the CLI, capture an option into the pool, commit it across the commitment point, and drive it to done. Everything lives in .kanbento/ as Markdown and JSON you can read, diff, and commit beside your code — there’s no service to host and nothing to log into.

From here, BOARD.md shows every card and where it sits, and AGENTS.md is the operating guide your agents read to run the board themselves.

The source, full docs, and issues are on GitHub.
