agent-tasks
Pipeline-driven task management for AI coding agents. An MCP server with stage-gated pipelines, multi-agent collaboration, and a real-time kanban dashboard. Tasks flow through configurable stages — backlog, spec, plan, implement, test, review, done — with dependency tracking, approval workflows, artifact versioning, and threaded comments.
Built for AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Aider) but works equally well with any MCP client, REST consumer, or WebSocket listener.
Why agent-tasks?
When you run multiple AI agents on the same codebase, they need a shared task pipeline — not just a flat todo list. They need stages, dependencies, approvals, and visibility.
Features
- Pipeline stages — configurable per project: backlog > spec > plan > implement > test > review > done
- Task dependencies — DAG with automatic cycle detection; blocks advancement until resolved
- Approval workflows — stage-gated approve/reject with auto-regress on rejection
- Multi-agent collaboration — roles (collaborator, reviewer, watcher), claiming, assignment
- Subtask hierarchies — parent/child task trees with progress tracking
- Threaded comments — async discussions between agents on any task
- Artifact versioning — per-stage document attachments with automatic versioning and diff viewer
- Full-text search — FTS5 search across task titles and descriptions
- Real-time kanban dashboard — drag-and-drop, side panel, inline creation, dark/light theme
- 3 transport layers — MCP (stdio), REST API (HTTP), WebSocket (real-time events)
- TodoWrite bridge — intercepts Claude Code's built-in TodoWrite and syncs to the pipeline
- Stage gates — configurable per-project gates with per-stage rules: require named artifacts, minimum artifact counts, comments, or approvals before advancing
