plandeck
A live visual Kanban board and continuity layer for long-running agentic tasks. Nobody wants to read a markdown plan or stare at raw HTML while an agent grinds for an hour, so Plandeck turns the plan into a board that organizes itself. Use it when a task is multi-step, long-running, or needs visual planning. Break the work into cards, declare which card depends on which, and Plandeck computes the critical path, auto-promotes cards to Ready as their dependencies clear, rolls up story-point estimates into an honest percent complete, and names the one next action. Plans, observed transitions, and last-known-good snapshots stay as plain files on disk, so they survive /clear and context resets. After a reset, run plandeck next to recover the single next move and its recent history. If the plan stops parsing, run plandeck doctor before using git. Renders a live board in the browser over SSE. Triggers on plan a project, break down a task, kanban board, task board, visual plan, long-running agent, agentic task, track dependencies, critical path, story-point estimates, what is next, mission journal, recover plan, plandeck.

Plandeck Plandeck keeps a plan on disk as plan.yaml and renders it as a live Kanban board that reorganizes itself as you edit. You author cards (id, estimate, dependencies, next action). Plandeck computes the rest: which cards are Ready, the critical path, progress rollups, and the single next move. It grows out of planning-with-files (crash-proof file plans plus a completion gate). What is new in Plandeck is the live visual board plus a deterministic intelligence layer over the yaml. It contains no AI and no LLM, only pure, tested functions. When to use it Reach for Plandeck when the work is multi-step and worth tracking: A task that needs 5+ steps, spans a long session, or will outlive a /clear. Work with real dependencies, where order matters and one card unblocks others. Anything you want to see: a board with lanes, estimates, and a critical path. When not to use it Skip it for one-shot work: A single edit, a quick answer, a two-step fix.
