How to run several coding agents on one backlog in parallel with Kander

Split a backlog into task cards and let agents work on them at once without write conflicts.

Who it is forA solo developer with a list of features or fixes who wants several AI agents working at the same time, and who is tired of agents editing the same files.

The problemRunning several coding agents in one checkout causes branch overlaps, file clashes, and lost work.

The outcomeMultiple task cards run in their own worktrees, and the board schedules them so overlapping work does not run at once.

What you need first

  • Git installed
  • At least one supported agent installed: Codex, Claude, Grok, Cursor, or Pi
  • A Homebrew install on macOS, or the Linux or Windows binary from the Releases page
  • GitHub CLI (gh) if you want to link a GitHub repository

Steps

  1. Install Kander on macOS with brew install dualface/tap/kander, or download the Linux or Windows build from the Releases page.
  2. Run kander doctor to check Git, your agents, launchers, and rules configuration.
  3. Run kander to open the terminal kanban board.
  4. Start an agent session, describe one requirement with its goal and acceptance criteria, and confirm the agent should launch it through the kanban flow.
  5. Repeat for each requirement, then check status on the board and use / to filter cards.

Prompt for your agent

In the dualface/kander repo, load the Kander rules and create one task card for the requirement <requirement description> with clear acceptance criteria, then confirm it was launched through the kanban flow. Report the card ID and its status. Verify that the card appears on the board with its own isolated workspace.

Caveat. The README says Kander uses Git Worktrees and tmux or herdr containers, so you need those environments set up for the parallel runs to behave as described.
