π₯οΈ Turn your terminal into an AI command center.
Kagan is a keyboard-first Kanban TUI that orchestrates AI agents (Claude Code, OpenCode) to complete tickets autonomously or collaboratively.
Two modes:
β‘ PAIR β Real-time tmux sessions with AI
π€ AUTO β Background agents working in parallel
Describe features in natural language β Kagan breaks them into actionable tickets. Each task runs in isolated git worktrees, keeping your main branch safe. Code review ensures human oversight before merge.

Hello ProductHunt! π
Launching Kagan today - a terminal UI designed for developers who want AI agents that augment their workflow, not replace their thinking.
Why we built this:
At MakerX, we were experimenting with Claude Code and OpenAI Code for rapid prototyping. The problem became obvious: agentic cli tools are powerful, but orchestrating them is painful. You're alt-tabbing, losing context, manually reviewing output, and second-guessing whether to merge. We realized the real work wasn't the codeβit was the collaboration structure.
The core insight:
AI agents excel at repetitive, scoped tasks. Humans excel at judgment and complexity. What's missing is the interface that bridges them. Kanban + AI = that interface.
What you get:
π« Terminal-based kanban β Organize agentic CLI sessions as discrete tickets
π€ Autonomous mode β Low-risk tasks run fully AI-driven, review agent validates before merge
π₯ Pair mode β Collaborate inside tmux with an AI agent in real-time
π Smart planner β Convert complex requirements into scoped, actionable tickets using ACP + your preferred agent
Who this is for:
- Indie developers experimenting with AI-assisted workflows
- Teams running exploratory projects (non-production codebases)
- Anyone frustrated with context-switching between multiple agentic CLIs
- Developers who want AI speed with human judgment
Real use case: You have a 10-ticket sprint. Three are experimental. You put them in autonomous mode, Kagan's AI runs them, review agent flags issues, you merge when confident. No context switching. No manual orchestration.
Open-source under MIT. Try it at kagan.sh.
What's your biggest blocker with agentic tools right now? Is it speed, trust, or context management? Really curious what friction you're hitting.
