KanbanOS

Status: Live

A focused kanban and delivery surface for teams that ship.

KanbanOS plans before your agents code, gives every runtime the same memory and skills, and runs the whole delivery lifecycle on a board your team can actually operate. Agents do the work. Humans keep the irreversible calls.

About

KanbanOS helps operators see work, owners, and progress without drowning in process. Built by Spectrum Web Co for clarity and cadence — and for teams whose developers now include AI agents.

  • Planning injected into the agents you already run
  • A 15-agent SDLC swarm with signed gates
  • A Kanban board agents can move, not just decorate

01 — The shift

Agents don’t need another chat window.

Most teams now run coding agents in five different terminals. Plans die with the session, the board has no idea what an agent just claimed, and review is optional. KanbanOS is the operating layer between a plain ask and a mergeable pull request.

02 — Plan before you code

Every ask becomes a brief.

Ultrathink injects planning into the agents your team already uses — Claude Code, Grok Build, Hermes and more. Each request is turned into a graph-of-thought brief with one Graph ID that follows the work across every tracker.

  • One Graph ID across the board, Linear and Notion
  • Human-in-the-loop questions before a line is written
  • Fails open — planning never blocks a run

03 — One shared substrate

Every runtime, the same context.

Agent Substrate gives every runtime shared memory, skills and a ledger, so a brief written for one agent is understood by all of them — and nothing important lives only in a terminal scrollback.

  • Runtime, memory, skills and ledger
  • MCP and ACP native
  • Claims and dispatch across parallel lanes

04 — A swarm with guardrails

Autonomy with a ceiling.

Fifteen specialised agents cover the lifecycle from scoping to verification. Every handoff is a signed, fail-closed gate, and the ship loop can open a pull request and drive review until it passes.

  • 15-agent SDLC swarm
  • Fail-closed, signed verdicts
  • Parallel worktrees without parallel noise

05 — A board agents can move

Kanban as the operator surface.

The board is where people and agents meet. Agents claim and move cards through dependency chains and hooks; humans approve merges, releases and anything else that can’t be undone.

  • Agents claim and move cards
  • Dependency chains, hooks and worktrees
  • Humans keep the merge gate

Who it’s for

Product and agency teams that need a clean board and honest status.

  • Platform teams that own the substrate their agents run on
  • Product and engineering leads turning intent into visible, gated delivery
  • Security and quality teams that want verification inside the loop
  • Agencies and studios orchestrating many clients without multiplying chaos
