Cline Kanban: Finally, a Control Tower for Your Agent Swarm
The bottleneck in AI coding in 2026 is not the agents. It is you. You have five terminal windows running five different coding agents and you are mentally tracking which one finished, which one is blocked, and which one silently broke something twenty minutes ago. Cline just shipped the fix.
Cline Kanban is a standalone kanban board that turns multi-agent orchestration from chaos into something you can actually see. Install it with npm i -g cline, open it in your browser, and every task card becomes a live agent session with its own git worktree. No merge conflicts. No context switching. One board shows everything at a glance: running, done, blocked.
The killer feature is dependency chains. Link cards together and when a parent task finishes, its children automatically kick off. So you can set up ten tasks with three dependency layers and walk away. The agents will sequence themselves. This is not just a prettier terminal multiplexer. It is a genuine workflow engine for parallel agent execution.
Cline Kanban is CLI-agnostic. It works with Cline, Claude Code, Codex, and anything else that runs in a terminal. No vendor lock-in. Each task gets its own isolated worktree, auto-commits when done, and you review the diffs from the board. Convert any worktree into a commit or a PR with one click.
The timing matters. Every major coding agent now has some form of parallelism, but nobody had a shared control plane for them. Cline Kanban is that control plane. Whether you are running three Claude Codes or mixing Codex with Gemini CLI, this is where you go to see the whole picture.
