This release adds a skill system for AI coding agents and polishes the TUI with better discoverability and new navigation hotkeys.
New: skill subcommand
Install agent skills that teach AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, OpenClaw) how to use kanban-md effectively. Two built-in skills ship with the binary:
- kanban-md — core CLI usage patterns, output formats, and JSON schemas
- kanban-based-development — autonomous parallel development workflow with task claiming and git worktree isolation
# Interactive install — pick agents and skills
kanban-md skill install
# Install a specific skill for a specific agent
kanban-md skill install --skill kanban-md --agent claude-code
# Check if installed skills are up to date
kanban-md skill check
# Update outdated skills in place
kanban-md skill updateNew: TUI config section
A new [tui] section in config.yml for display settings. The first setting, title_lines, controls how many lines (1–3) task titles occupy on board cards. Multi-line titles word-wrap at word boundaries.
kanban-md config set tui.title_lines 2Changed: TUI navigation improvements
- N/P hotkeys: Press N to move a task to the next status, P for previous (replaces the old M hotkey)
- Esc to quit: Esc now works as quit in the board view, matching its behavior in all other views
- Arrow key hints: The status bar now shows ←↓↑→ alongside hjkl so non-vim users can discover navigation
- Claim highlighting: Claimed tasks show the agent name in cyan bold, making ownership immediately visible
Upgrading
Config migration v3→v4 happens automatically on first run. No action needed.
After upgrading, run kanban-md skill install to set up agent skills for your coding tools.
