Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by manhvann on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Ck:Kanban AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/manhvann/codexkit/tree/main/.agents/skills/kanban
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/manhvann/codexkit.git /tmp/codexkit
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/codexkit/.agents/skills/kanban .claude/skills/manhvann-ck-kanban

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Ck:Kanban in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Ck:Kanban on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Ck:Kanban is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Plans Dashboard

Plans dashboard with progress tracking and timeline visualization.

Usage

ck:kanban - View dashboard for the configured plans directory
ck:kanban <dir> - View dashboard for specific directory
ck:kanban --stop - Stop running server

Features

Plan cards with progress bars
Phase status breakdown (completed, in-progress, pending)
Timeline/Gantt visualization
Activity heatmap
Issue and branch links

Execution

IMPORTANT: Run the server as a background command when the runtime supports it, so it remains manageable from the active session.

The skill is located at .agents/skills/plans-kanban/.

Stop Server

If --stop flag is provided:

bash
node .agents/skills/plans-kanban/scripts/server.cjs --stop

Start Server

Otherwise, run the kanban server with --foreground flag so the process stays alive:

bash
# Determine plans directory
INPUT_DIR="$1"
PLANS_DIR="${INPUT_DIR:-${CK_PLANS_PATH:-plans}}"

# Start kanban dashboard
node .agents/skills/plans-kanban/scripts/server.cjs \
  --dir "$PLANS_DIR" \
  --host 0.0.0.0 \
  --open \
  --foreground

Critical: When calling the Bash tool:

Set run_in_background: true when the shell tool supports background processes
Set timeout: 300000 (5 minutes) to prevent premature termination
Parse JSON output and report URL to user

Example Bash tool call:

json
{
  "command": "node .agents/skills/plans-kanban/scripts/server.cjs --dir \"${CK_PLANS_PATH:-plans}\" --host 0.0.0.0 --open --foreground",
  "run_in_background": true,
  "timeout": 300000,
  "description": "Start kanban server in background"
}

After starting, parse the JSON output and report:

Local URL for browser access
Network URL for remote device access (if available)
Inform user that server is now running in the background when supported

CRITICAL: MUST display the FULL URL including path and query string. NEVER truncate to just host:port.

Future Plans

The ck:kanban command will evolve into VibeKanban-inspired AI agent orchestration:

Phase 1 (Current - MVP)

Task board with progress tracking
Visual representation of plans/tasks
Click to view plan details

Phase 2 (Worktree Integration)

Create tasks → spawn git worktrees
Assign agents to tasks
Track agent progress per worktree

Phase 3 (Full Orchestration)

Parallel agent execution monitoring
Code diff/review interface
PR creation workflow
Agent output streaming
Conflict detection

Track progress in the configured repository's issue tracker (for example, issue #189).

Frequently asked questions

What does the Ck:Kanban AI skill do?

AI agent orchestration board for task visualization and team coordination.

Why use Ck:Kanban on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Ck:Kanban is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Ck:Kanban in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/manhvann/codexkit/tree/main/.agents/skills/kanban. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Ck:Kanban?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Ck:Kanban?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Ck:Kanban with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Ck:Kanban AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by manhvann under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
