A Kanban board that displays the internal task list from Claude Code agent teams inside VS Code.

When you orchestrate a team of Claude Code sessions, each teammate claims and completes tasks from a shared task list stored on disk. This extension watches that task list and renders it as a live Kanban board so you can see what every teammate is working on at a glance.

Features

  • 3-Column Kanban Board -- Pending, In Progress, and Completed columns with task counts and color-coded accents
  • Live Updates -- File watcher automatically refreshes the board when tasks change on disk
  • Team Member Display -- Shows team members with deterministically assigned animal emoji icons
  • VS Code Theme Integration -- Adapts to your current light or dark theme via CSS variables
  • Configurable Task Directory -- Override the default ~/.claude/tasks/ path in settings
  • Team Selector -- Switch between multiple teams with a quick pick menu

Usage

  1. Install from the VS Code Marketplace.
  2. Open the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P / Ctrl+Shift+P)
  3. Type and select Claude: Open Agent Team Board
  4. If multiple teams are detected, pick one from the dropdown

The board updates automatically as task files change on disk — no manual refresh needed!

Configuration

Setting Default Description
claude-agent-team-board.tasksDirectory ~/.claude/tasks (auto-detected) Path to the Claude Code tasks directory
claude-agent-team-board.teamsDirectory ~/.claude/teams (auto-detected) Path to the Claude Code teams directory

How It Works

Claude Code agent teams coordinate through a shared task list stored at ~/.claude/tasks/{team-name}/. Each task has a status (pending, in_progress, or completed), an owner, and optional dependency information (blocks/blockedBy). Team configuration lives at ~/.claude/teams/{team-name}/config.json.

This extension reads those files and renders them as a Kanban board. A file system watcher monitors the task directory for changes and pushes updates to the webview in real time.
