A personal kanban board for individual software developers tracking issues, PRs, and tech-debt across one or more repos in Taskade.
What's Included
- Personal Board: Today, This Week, Blocked, Done columns on a Board view with auto-WIP cap
- Repo Swimlanes: One row per repo — main app, infra, internal tools
- GitHub Issue Sync: Cards mirror GitHub issues bidirectionally — close in GitHub, card moves to Done
- AI Commit-Message Agent: AI agent drafts commit messages and PR descriptions from card content
- Daily Standup Briefing: Auto-generated yesterday/today/blocked summary every morning
Why This Template Wins
- One source of truth: Cards stay in sync with GitHub — no double-tracking in two tools
- Commit messages drafted: Agent saves 5-10 minutes per PR by drafting commits from card context
- Standup ready: Personal briefing means standup takes 60 seconds, not five minutes scrolling
How to Use
- Clone this template into your Taskade workspace
- Add the repos you work in across swimlanes
- Connect GitHub via the integration
- Train the AI Commit-Message Agent on the team's commit conventions
- Set up automation triggers for issue-close, PR-merge, and daily briefing
FAQ
Does this work for multi-repo developers?
Yes. Use repo swimlanes to track work across as many repos as needed — the agent reads issue context per repo.
Can the agent suggest task priority?
Yes. Agent reviews open issues against the day's calendar and suggests the order based on dependencies and blocked downstream work.
What plan do I need for unlimited GitHub sync?
Pro ($10/mo annual) covers unlimited integration events. Free includes limited daily syncs.
