Kanban Board

When your agent spawns subagents to work in parallel — exploring options, planning implementations, running commands — it's hard to track what's happening. The Kanban board shows every task and subagent grouped by status, so you can see progress at a glance during complex operations.

Tasks and subagent spawns grouped by status in a dedicated Kanban view.

Features

Kanban Board

  • Status Columns — tasks grouped by Pending, In Progress, and Completed
  • Real-time Updates — board updates as tasks and agents progress
  • Subagent Cards — spawned Task agents shown with cyan accent and type chips (Explore, Plan, Bash, etc.)
  • Collapsible Columns — collapse columns with hidden-task summaries
  • Cross-Session Persistence — tasks persist across sessions in ~/.config/sidekick/tasks/
  • Header Summary — shows separate counts (e.g., "3 tasks, 2 agents")

Subagent Tracking

When your agent spawns subagents via the Task tool:

  • Each subagent creates an "In Progress" card with the agent's description
  • Cards show agent type (Explore, Plan, Bash, etc.)
  • Cards move to "Completed" when the subagent finishes
  • Visually distinguished from regular tasks with a cyan left border
