# Kanban Board

> Per-project task board stored as plain JSON so the AI can read and write it directly.

* **Board view** full-screen kanban overlay with five columns: Backlog, To Do, In Progress, Review, Done
* **Sidebar strip** compact column preview always accessible from the activity bar
* **Cards** rich markdown card bodies with preview/edit toggle, status dropdown, and delete confirm
* **Drag-and-drop** move cards between columns with HTML5 drag
* **Search** filter cards across all columns from the board header; non-matching cards dim in place
* **AI-writable** board stored as `board.json` in the project root so the AI can read and update tasks directly; FS watcher syncs the UI instantly on external writes
* **Import from Tickets** one click turns a GitHub issue or PR into a card (see [Tickets](/tickets)); re-importing updates the same card instead of duplicating it, and never overwrites the column you've moved it to
* **Open-count badge** cards not in the last column are shown on the Kanban activity-bar icon, always live even while the panel is closed

Each project stores its board at `{project-root}/board.json`. The format is human-readable JSON that AI tools can write directly, useful for having the AI manage your task list. Add `board.json` to `.gitignore` if you don't want it committed.
