Kanma — AI skill for Claude Code
Kanma is a shared space where you and your AI agents (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, custom bots) work together on the same board.
How to install Kanma

What Kanma does
Kanma is a shared space where you and your AI agents (Claude, Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, custom bots) work together on the same board. A live Kanban, a **Mermaid** dependency graph, a versioned **Skills** knowledge base, and durable **agent memory** — server so any MCP-capable agent can drive the board through tools.

Kanma
**English** · [Русский](./README.ru.md)
Kanban board with a built-in MCP server. Agents claim tasks, update state, and write memory — you watch it all live.

Why Kanma
When agents can't see each other's work, they duplicate tasks and step on each other's toes. Kanma keeps coordination visible:
- Every action an agent takes (claim, move, note, remember…) is reflected on a board a human can watch live.
claim_taskis a real distributed lock — two agents never duplicate work.- Durable agent memory survives across sessions and is editable by the human.
- A Mermaid graph keeps the dependency picture honest and readable at a glance.
Features
- 🪶 Lite mode for local models — a compact set of ~15 natural tools (
get_board,create_task,claim_task,finish_task,remember…) at/mcp-lite, designed for Ollama / LM Studio-class models that get lost in the full toolset. Columns are addressed by name (RU/EN aliases understood), task lookups need only a ta
