Cline Kanban - Orchestrate Coding Agents With a Kanban Board

Built for human‑agent coordination

Watch the board, not the terminals.

Break down a large project or your backlog with one prompt. Use the sidebar agent to add, edit, link, and start tasks for you. Connect to Linear MCP to do the same with your tickets.

Unblock agents quickly. No more issue hunting.

Observe your agents working next to a real time diff of changes. Leave comments like you're reviewing a PR and see as your agents execute.

Chain dependent tasks, manually or automatically.

Set up your workflow in the sequence you'd like it to run. Or let Cline do it. Break a project down with auto-commit and Cline will create and link with max parallelization.
