KANBAII: A Visual Kanban Board Built with Claude Code for AI-Assisted Development
What KANBAII Does
KANBAII is a visual kanban board that sits on top of Claude Code, built entirely through Claude Code sessions over about two months. The developer created it to manage projects with 20+ work items without living in the terminal.
Technical Implementation
The complete codebase includes backend, frontend, CLI, and agent orchestration components. The frontend uses Next.js with Socket.IO for real-time drag-and-drop functionality.
Core Features
- Visual kanban board with drag-and-drop interface
- AI planner that converts natural language descriptions into structured tasks using Claude
- "Ralph" mode: Claude Code executes one work item end-to-end
- "Teams" mode: A Claude-driven coordinator runs multiple work items in parallel using a worker pool
- 100% local operation with data stored as JSON on disk
- MIT licensed and free
Claude Code Integration
At runtime, Claude Code is involved in several ways:
- The AI planner uses Claude to decompose descriptions into work items
- Ralph mode spawns Claude Code as a subprocess to execute each task
- Teams mode uses a Claude coordinator for parallel execution
- An MCP server bridges Claude and the board for escalation and task updates
Installation and Usage
Install via npm: npm install -g kanbaii then run kanbaii start. The tool gained 1500 installs in its first 48 hours without marketing.
The developer is seeking feedback from daily Claude Code users about missing features, what doesn't work, and what would make it useful for their workflows.
