Description

Hi everyone. I wanted to introduce a tool / product that I've been working on for a while. It's a web application and VS Code extension for use with Github CoPilot (I'm planning to develop integration for other agent harnesses soon).The web app and remote boards are at: https://www.agentkanban.ioThe VS Code extension is at VS Code Marketplace (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=appsoftw...) or the Open VSX Registry (https://open-vsx.org/extension/appsoftwareltd/agent-kanban-v...).The TLDR It's a collaborative Kanban board / task management app which supports hand off to Github CoPilot in VS Code, and captures the ongoing user / agent conversation context on the task for resumption in new chats (with context curation tools).The context collection ignores tool use to prevent bloat in the captured context. AgentKanban also has features for improving agentic coding session quality such as an optional plan / todo / implement workflow and support for Git worktree creation and clean up for working on concurrent tasks.The tool is an evolution of an earlier VS Code kanban extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AppSoftw...) I built which proved fairly popular but only catered for a local file based workflow.The new version with the remote board improves the reliability of context capture, with lots of developer experience improvements. It's a tool that I use everyday in my own agentic coding workflows, and I can honestly say that it improves the quality of the code produced and reduces friction in organising working on concurrent features.I hope you find it useful and would really appreciate your feedback on how you use it, what you think it does well, or any improvements you think could be added.Many thanks for your time reading this
