// terminal kanban · ai agent orchestrator

Many hands.
One board.

A terminal Kanban board that orchestrates AI coding agents — Claude Code, Codex, and Copilot — as zellij sessions. Each ticket gets its own isolated git worktree, so agents never step on each other.

┌─ features

Built for running agents in parallel

⌥ One worktree per ticket

Every ticket runs in its own isolated git worktree. Agents work side by side without ever touching each other's files.

▣ A zellij session each

Moving a ticket to In Progress launches the agent in a dedicated zellij session and drops you in. Detach with Ctrl+o d — it keeps running.

❯ Bring your own agent

Claude Code, Codex, and Copilot out of the box via configurable command templates. Point it at any CLI you like.

✶ Seed the prompt

Give a ticket an initial prompt and the agent starts working the moment its session opens. Create tickets from the CLI, too.

▤ SQLite persistence

A single global database keeps your board intact across projects, restarts, and reboots. No services to run.

◐ Live colorschemes

Catppuccin, Tokyo Night, Gruvbox, Nord, or your terminal's own 16 colors — switch live in-app with t.

↻ Self-updating

Kamaji checks for new releases on launch. When one's available the status bar prompts you — press u to download and replace the binary in place, then restart.

┌─ how it works

Drag a ticket. Get an agent.

  1. Todo

    Create a ticket

    Press c. Add a title, optional description, an initial prompt, and pick the agent.

  2. In Progress

    Kamaji spins it up

    A git worktree is created, a zellij layout is generated, and the agent launches with your prompt — auto-attached.

  3. Review

    Check the work

    Re-attach any time with ↵. When it's ready for eyes, move it to Review.

  4. Done

    Clean up

    Move to Done and Kamaji offers to kill the session, remove the worktree, and delete the branch.

┌─ quick start
