What it does

Kandev Projects is an agent skill from kdlbs/kandev. List and create Office projects, then place new tasks in the correct project when organizing workspace work by repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 310 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. The repository describes itself as: AI Kanban & Development Environment. Orchestrate multiple agents, review changes, open PRs. Multi-provider, self-hostable, no telemetry. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Productivity & Automation work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/kandev-projects”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b734113. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • github.com

    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

Kandev Projects loads about 312 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 35 tokens; SKILL.md has 86 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~35
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~312

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.

Projects

Use project IDs returned by the CLI. Project access is scoped to the current Office workspace, and project creation is permission checked.

Inspect projects

bash
$KANDEV_CLI kandev projects list

Create a project

--name is required. Repeat --repository for each repository URL or local path the project owns.

bash
$KANDEV_CLI kandev projects create \
  --name "Payments" \
  --description "Payment services and checkout" \
  --repository "https://github.com/acme/payments" \
  --repository "/workspace/checkout"

Optional project fields are --lead-agent-profile-id, --color, --budget-cents, and --executor-config.

Create work in a project

Pass the returned project ID when creating a task:

bash
$KANDEV_CLI kandev task create \
  --title "Add payment retry policy" \
  --project "$PROJECT_ID" \
  --assignee "$AGENT_ID"

Do not create a duplicate project when an existing project already owns the repository. Office runs do not administer workspaces.
