At a glance

Preserve and evolve kanban-md table, compact, and JSON output contracts.

  • Changing output defaults
  • SKILL.md covers Format roles, Contract rules and Implementation and verification
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Format-selection flags

What it does

Design Kanban Md Output is an agent skill from antopolskiy/kanban-md. Preserve and evolve kanban-md table, compact, and JSON output contracts. Use when changing output defaults, format-selection flags or environment variables, renderers, fields, grouping, errors, or token efficiency. Do not use for TUI-only rendering or task/config YAML schemas.

Its SKILL.md is about 770 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Task management. The repository describes itself as: File-based kanban board for autonomous agentic loop. CLI and TUI for multi-agent workflows. Skills included. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Changing output defaults
  • Format-selection flags
  • Environment variables
  • Token efficiency

Example prompts

  • “/design-kanban-md-output”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(go test *), Bash(golangci-lint *), Bash(git diff *)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e3816f2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(go test *)
    • Bash(golangci-lint *)
    • Bash(git diff *)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Design Kanban Md Output loads about 767 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 327 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~767

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Design kanban-md output

CLI output serves humans, agents, and scripts. Treat the default, format selection, field names, record boundaries, and error shapes as user-facing contracts rather than incidental presentation.

Format roles

  • table is the default in both TTY and non-TTY environments. It is padded, readable output for interactive use.
  • compact is selected with --compact, --oneline, or KANBAN_OUTPUT=compact. It uses one record per line, avoids repeated JSON keys, and is optimized for agent context.
  • json is selected with --json or KANBAN_OUTPUT=json. It is the complete structured form for parsing, pipes, and integrations.

TTY auto-detection was intentionally removed because agents commonly execute in non-TTY environments and previously received verbose JSON by default. Do not restore implicit TTY-dependent selection without new evidence and an explicit compatibility decision.

Contract rules

  • Preserve explicit format flags and environment-variable behavior. Conflicting selectors must fail or resolve through the documented precedence, never silently vary with terminal state.
  • Keep compact output one-line-per-record and sufficiently self-describing for agents. Avoid repeated labels or decorative padding that materially increases token use.
  • Keep JSON complete and machine-oriented. Field removals, renames, type changes, and error-shape changes require compatibility analysis; additive fields still require documentation and tests.
  • Keep table output readable and stable enough for humans, while avoiding tests that prevent harmless spacing improvements unless alignment itself is the contract.
  • Do not publish precise token-savings claims without a current, reproducible measurement against the formats being compared.
  • Update README.md, command help, examples, and embedded skill references when output behavior changes.

Implementation and verification

Centralize semantic data before rendering so table, compact, and JSON surfaces do not drift. Test renderer behavior in internal/output/ and complete command selection in e2e/.

At minimum, cover:

  • the default format in non-TTY execution;
  • each explicit flag and supported KANBAN_OUTPUT value;
  • record contents and ordering for the changed command;
  • JSON fields/types and structured errors when affected;
  • compact one-record-per-line behavior;
  • --no-color or NO_COLOR when styling changes.

Follow test-kanban-md for the broader verification ladder. For the product and token-cost rationale, read docs/research/2026-08-25-kanban-md-design-principles-orientation.md.
