+name: markdown-task-manager
+description: Use when managing tasks. The system is a Kanban task manager on local Markdown files (`kanban.md`, `archive.md`, optionally `backlog.md`) that a human edits in the kanbanmd.html web app at the same time. Prefer the Kanban MCP tools or the `kanbanmd` CLI; fall back to the file format described here.
+---
+
+# 📋 Kanban.md Skill
+
+Full guide: `AI_WORKFLOW.md` in the project root. This skill is the short version.
+
+## When to use it
+
+- Create tasks to document work to be done, plan features, track progress
+- Report status ("where are we?"), archive on request
+
+A human is using the board in the browser while you work. Make small, targeted edits.
+
+## 1. Tools first
+
+If the **Kanban MCP server** is connected (`get_board`, `get_task`, `save_task`, `move_task`, …) or you can run `kanbanmd`, use it. Do **not** read or hand-edit `kanban.md` then: the tools return a few hundred tokens instead of the whole file, validate every change, and merge with the human's concurrent edits.
+
+| Intent | Tool |
+|---|---|
+| What is in a column / who has what / what is overdue | `get_board` (filters), `get_board_stats` |
+| One task in full | `get_task` |
+| Valid columns, priorities, users | `get_config` |
+| Create / change a task | `save_task` (no `id` creates) |
+| Change column | `move_task` |
+| Subtasks, notes | `subtask`, `add_note` |
+| Archive / restore / delete | `archive_tasks`, `restore_task`, `delete_task` |
+| Archive or backlog file contents | `get_board` with `archived: true` / `backlog: true` |
+
+Rules: pass the task's `etag` as `ifMatch` when changing something you read earlier (a `conflict` means re-read and redo); use `dryRun` to preview; errors list the valid choices; `needs_migration` means tell the user to open the board in the browser or run `kanbanmd migrate`; if `get_board_stats` returns `housekeeping` suggestions, **tell the user, never archive unasked**; `sort_tasks` rewrites a file-wide order, so never call it unprompted.
+
+CLI equivalents: `kanbanmd board --status review`, `task TASK-014`, `move TASK-014 done`, `create --title … --status …`, `note`, `toggle`, `archive`, `stats`, `housekeeping`. Add `--dry-run` to preview.
+
+## 2. Task format (only if you edit files yourself): v3, one field per line, each ending in two spaces (Markdown hard break; lines without them still parse)
+
+```markdown
+### TASK-XXX | Task title
+**Status**: <column-id>
+**Priority**: High
+**Category**: Backend
+**Assigned**: @user1, @user2
+**Created**: YYYY-MM-DD
+**Due**: YYYY-MM-DD
+**Tags**: #tag1 #tag2
+
+Free text description. **NO `##` or `###` headings allowed**.
+
+**Subtasks**:
+- [ ] First subtask
+- [x] Completed subtask
+
+**Notes**:
+**Result**:
+What was done.
+```
+
+Required: the `### TASK-XXX |` header and `**Status**:` (a column id). Everything else is optional and independent; leave empty fields out. Optional `**Order**: n` is a manual card order: leave it alone. Forbidden: `##`/`###` headings inside a task; `**Subtasks**`/`**Notes**` without the colon.
+
+- **Move a task:** edit its one `**Status**:` line. Never cut and paste the block.
+- **New task:** append the block at the end of `kanban.md` and bump `<!-- Config: Last Task ID: N -->`.
+- If the Configuration has `**Backlog file**: backlog.md (backlog)`, tasks of that column live in `backlog.md`; a status change moves them. Do not manage the file.
+
+## 3. Workflow
+
+1. **New request:** create the task (status = first column), break into subtasks if needed.
+2. **Start:** move to in-progress, set `Started`, tick subtasks as you go.
+3. **Finish:** move to done, set `Finished`, document `**Result**:`, `**Modified files**:`, `**Technical decisions**:`, `**Tests performed**:` in `**Notes**:`.
+4. **Archiving:** never automatic. Finished tasks stay in the done column until the user asks.
+5. Reference tasks in commits (`TASK-XXX`).
+
+## Golden rules
+
+- Create the task before coding; progress in real time; document the result.
+- Use the tools when you have them; otherwise the strict format.
+- Never archive unasked; never rewrite a whole file when a one-line edit will do.

+become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
+distributes such Contribution.
+
+2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
+
+The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
+this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
+distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
+Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
+Contributor:
+
+(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
+    or
+
+(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
+    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
+    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
+    Version); or
+
+(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+    its Contributions.
+
+This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
+or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
+the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
+
+2.4. Subsequent Licenses
+
+No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to

+License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
+permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
+
+2.5. Representation
+
+Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
+Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
+to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
+
+2.6. Fair Use
+
+This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
+applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
+equivalents.
+
+2.7. Conditions
+
+Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
+in Section 2.1.
+
+3. Responsibilities
+-------------------
+
+3.1. Distribution of Source Form
+
+All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
+Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
+the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
+Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
+License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
+attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
+Form.
+
+3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
+
+If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
+
+(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
+    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
+    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
+    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
+    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
+
+(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
+    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
+    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
+    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
+
+3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
+
+You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
+provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
+the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
+Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
+Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
+License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
+Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
+License(s).
+
+3.4. Notices
+
+You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+
+You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
+behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
+such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
+You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
+liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
+disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
+jurisdiction.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
+statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
+be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
+Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
+or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
+recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Termination
+--------------
+
+5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
+first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
+from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
+Your receipt of the notice.
+
+5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
+You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
+2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+prior to termination shall survive termination.

+----------------
+
+This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
+matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be

+
+> **[Version française](./readmeFR.md)** · Kanban.md began as a fork of [ioniks/MarkdownTaskManager](https://github.com/ioniks/MarkdownTaskManager) (MPL-2.0); see [About this fork](docs/about-this-fork.md).
+
+![Kanban.md board](docs/images/app-overview.jpg)
+*The board with the sample data from `docs/demo`.*
+
+Kanban.md turns two Markdown files, `kanban.md` and `archive.md`, into an interactive board. The whole app is one HTML file that runs in your browser and reads and writes your folder directly. There is no server, no account and no database, and your tasks stay in files you can read, edit, diff and commit.
+
+## What you get
+
+- **Your tasks, as files.** Plain Markdown that works in any editor and displays properly in any Markdown viewer, including GitHub.
+- **Fits in git.** Edits are small line-level patches, so moving a card changes one line and diffs stay readable.
+- **A real board.** Drag-and-drop columns you define, subtasks with progress bars, priorities, tags, categories, assignees, due dates, search, filters, an archive, several projects, light and dark themes, and four interface languages.
+- **Humans and AI at the same time.** A CLI and an MCP server let agents read and change the board safely while you use the browser. Changes show up on both sides within a couple of seconds, and concurrent edits are merged, not overwritten.
+- **Cheap for AI.** An agent reads a few hundred tokens instead of the whole board. A "what is in this column?" question on a 100-task board costs about 1,000 tokens instead of about 20,000.
+- **Private by construction.** Nothing leaves your machine. No telemetry, no CDN, works offline.
+- **Scales up gently.** Housekeeping nudges, an optional separate backlog file, and optional manual card order keep big boards fast.
+- **Shareable.** Copy a task as plain text or as a Markdown block another board can import.
+
+## Where it shines
+
+- Developers who want tasks next to their code, in the same repository and the same pull requests.
+- Small teams who share a board through git.
+- Anyone working with AI coding assistants who wants a clear, traceable record of what was asked and done.
+- People who like owning their data and being able to open it in a text editor.
+
+## What it is not for
+
+- **Not a hosted service.** No accounts, permissions, notifications or live co-editing. Teams share a board through git or a synced folder.
+- **Not a server or an API.** Agents use the CLI and the MCP server; there is no HTTP API.
+- **Editing needs a Chromium browser.** Opening and editing a folder needs a Chromium-based desktop browser (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave). In Firefox and Safari you can open a folder read-only, [view a board from the web](docs/using-the-board.md#viewing-a-board-from-the-web), or edit the real folder by running `kanbanmd serve` in it (needs Node; see [Firefox and Safari](docs/getting-started.md#firefox-and-safari)).
+- **Not a reporting tool.** There are no charts or time tracking yet.
+
+## Install and first run
+
+1. Download [`kanbanmd.html`](kanbanmd.html).
+2. Open it in Chrome, Edge, Opera or Brave.
+3. Pick a folder. If it is empty, the app creates `kanban.md` and `archive.md` for you.
+
+Want to look around first? Pick the [`docs/demo`](docs/demo) folder for a sample board with dummy tasks.
+
+More options, including keeping the app in one shared place and using it across projects, are in [Getting started](docs/getting-started.md).
+
+## Use it with AI agents
+
+```bash
+npx -y @ashikahmad/kanbanmd init                  # in your project: MCP config, skill and agent instructions
+claude mcp add kanban -- npx -y @ashikahmad/kanbanmd mcp   # or just the MCP server
+```
+
+The same operations are available from the shell as the `kanbanmd` CLI (`npx -y @ashikahmad/kanbanmd board --status in-progress`). Copy [`AI_WORKFLOW.md`](AI_WORKFLOW.md) into your project so your assistant knows the rules, and see [Working with AI agents](docs/ai-agents.md) for the tools, the per-assistant templates and the Claude Code skill.

+## What's next
+
+The project's own work is tracked on its own board: [`board/kanban.md`](board/kanban.md) shows what is done, in progress, planned, and what ideas we are weighing. You can also [view it in the app](https://ashikahmad.github.io/Kanban.md/app/?board=../board/kanban.md), read-only. Items tagged `#good-first-issue` and `#need-help` are good places to start if you'd like to contribute. Bugs and requests are welcome as GitHub issues.

+## Task board (Kanban.md)
+
+This project's tasks live in \`kanban.md\` (finished ones in \`archive.md\`).
+
+- Use the Kanban MCP tools when they are connected (\`get_board\`, \`get_task\`, \`save_task\`, \`move_task\`, ...).
+- Otherwise use the CLI, for example \`npx -y ${pkg} board\`, \`task TASK-001\`, \`move TASK-001 done\`, \`create --title "..."\`. Add \`--dry-run\` to preview. Run it with \`--help\` for everything.
+- Do not read or hand-edit \`kanban.md\` while either is available: they cost far fewer tokens, validate every change and merge with the human's edits.
+- Create a task before starting work, move it as you go, and reference \`TASK-NNN\` in commits. Archive only when asked.
