Practical overview

When it fits

Use Vibe Kanban when software work needs to move from a task board into coding-agent execution and then through review toward a pull request.

Who it is for

  • Software developers using coding agents
  • Teams coordinating multiple agent-assisted development tasks
  • Developers who want kanban planning and code review in one workflow
  • Operators evaluating a self-hosted deployment

Documented uses

  • Create, prioritise and assign software-development issues
  • Give coding agents isolated workspaces with a branch, terminal and development server
  • Review agent-generated diffs and send inline comments
  • Preview applications during development
  • Create pull requests with AI-generated descriptions
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository documents use through `npx vibe-kanban`, source development and Docker-based self-hosting guidance. It also says users should authenticate with their chosen coding agent before starting Vibe Kanban.

  • The project supports a workflow spanning planning, agent execution, diff review, preview and pull-request creation.
  • The repository lists integrations with more than one coding agent, including Claude Code, Codex and Gemini CLI.
  • Source development requires Rust, Node.js 20 or later and pnpm 8 or later.
  • Self-hosting behind a reverse proxy or custom domain requires configuring VK_ALLOWED_ORIGINS.
  • The repository is public and licensed under Apache-2.0.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Start Vibe Kanban locally

Launch the documented Vibe Kanban command after authenticating with a supported coding agent.

Before you start

  • A terminal
  • Authentication with a chosen coding agent
  • Node.js 20 or later
  • pnpm 8 or later

Steps

  1. Authenticate with your chosen coding agent.

  2. Run the command below in the terminal.

    Documented command
    npx vibe-kanban

  3. Use the kanban issues and workspace workflow described in the repository overview.

Expected outcome

The documented Vibe Kanban start command is launched for using its planning and coding-agent workflow.

Guide limitations

  • The evidence does not describe the exact authentication steps for each coding agent.
  • This guide does not verify a successful runtime or compatibility with a particular environment.

Prepare a source development environment

Install the documented prerequisites and dependencies for developing Vibe Kanban from source.

Before you start

  • Stable Rust
  • Node.js 20 or later
  • pnpm 8 or later

Steps

  1. Install the listed Rust, Node.js and pnpm prerequisites.

  2. Install the project dependencies with pnpm i.

  3. Run pnpm run dev to start the documented development server.

Expected outcome

The repository's documented development setup is prepared and the development-server command is available to run.

Guide limitations

  • The evidence does not establish successful execution on a particular machine.
  • Additional development tools such as cargo-watch and sqlx-cli are listed separately in the repository.
