VS Code Agent Kanban

VS Code Agent Kanban is a Visual Studio Code extension that brings a kanban board into the editor to manage work done with AI coding agents. It is built to counter context rot, where decisions and plans disappear when a chat is cleared or the context limit is reached. Every task is stored as a Markdown file in a .agentkanban/tasks folder, with YAML frontmatter tracking the title and the lane it sits in. The file becomes a permanent, editable record of considerations, decisions and actions. The extension is designed for developers who use AI assistants and want structure around them. A structured plan, todo and implement flow is driven through commands for the @kanban GitHub Copilot chat participant. It does not bundle its own agent and instead uses the agent harness a developer already has. Because tasks are plain files in the repository, the board works with Git and suits teams that want a shared view of what the AI is working on and what has been decided. A later update added an optional Git worktree workflow that can create worktrees from the task board or from the @kanban command. The extension is available on the VS Code Marketplace, with source on GitHub, and a short video demo accompanies the announcement post by its author. The vendor does not publish paid plan prices.
