# Get started

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

## Install and run

```bash
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](https://github.com/quantify/kanbento).
