Kanban-TUI Task Management

Lets Claude drive the ktui terminal kanban tool to manage boards, tasks, and dependencies from the CLI.

AutomationIntermediate★ 270⑂ 14AI score 9/10Last updated: Aug 9, 2026

What it does

  • Teaches Claude the full CLI surface of ktui (kanban-tui), a local SQLite-backed terminal kanban board.
  • Covers board create/activate/update/delete, column listing, task create/update/move/delete, and category management.
  • Explains task dependency modeling (sequential chains and parallel fan-in) plus querying unblocked work via --actionable.
  • Enforces a safe operating procedure: discover IDs with --json, verify the active board, use --no-confirm for automation, then re-verify results.

Who it's for

  • Developers and solo builders who track projects from the terminal.
  • Anyone wanting a lightweight offline kanban instead of Jira or Trello.
  • Claude Code users who prefer natural-language requests like "what can I work on today?".

Examples

  1. "Set up a board for API development" → creates the board with default columns and seeds four dependent tasks with due dates.
  2. "What's unblocked right now?" → runs ktui task list --json --actionable and summarizes the ready items.
  3. "Move task 42 to the next stage" → checks dependencies, resolves the target column ID, and reports the blocker if the move fails.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the src/kanban_tui/assets folder from the GitHub repo Zaloog/kanban-tui into my ~/.claude/skills/kanban-tui/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

uv tool install kanban-tui && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/kanban-tui && curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zaloog/kanban-tui/main/src/kanban_tui/assets/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/kanban-tui/SKILL.md

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Install the tool: uv tool install kanban-tui (or pipx install kanban-tui / pip install kanban-tui).
  3. Verify it: ktui --version. You can also run it ad hoc with uvx kanban-tui.
  4. Create the skill folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/kanban-tui
  5. Fetch the skill file: curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Zaloog/kanban-tui/main/src/kanban_tui/assets/SKILL.md -o ~/.claude/skills/kanban-tui/SKILL.md
  6. Restart Claude Code and try "list my kanban boards" to confirm activation.
  7. Note: creating, renaming, or reordering columns is TUI-only — run ktui yourself for those changes.
