Kagan

kagan

Supervised kanban for AI coding agents inside OpenCode.

Docs · Quickstart

Kagan is an OpenCode plugin that turns agent work into supervised tasks on a kanban board. Each task is an OpenCode session running in an isolated git worktree, moving through Backlog → In Progress → Review → Done with a gate at every transition — intake before the agent runs, review before you approve, merge only on your say-so.

The agent never touches your checkout. It works on a kagan/<slug> branch in its own worktree, a reviewer agent files ranked findings against the original task, and nothing reaches Done until you've triaged every finding and chosen where — or whether — to merge.

Install

You need OpenCode 1.17.13 or newer (see engines.opencode in package.json).

Install globally so Kagan is available in every project:

opencode plugin -g @kagan-sh/kagan

Or add a local clone to both OpenCode config files:

{
  "plugin": ["/path/to/kagan"]
}

Open the board with /kagan from the command palette, the kagan palette command, or <leader>k (the leader key defaults to ctrl+x).

From any regular OpenCode session, run /kagan-task to create board tasks conversationally — useful when planning several tickets at once without opening the board create dialog for each one.

For global npm installs, Kagan checks npm for newer stable releases and shows an available version in the board footer. Press u, run /kagan-update, or use the command palette to review and confirm the update; Kagan then installs the exact release and asks you to restart OpenCode. Local, file, and development installs are never updated automatically. See Updating.

Pass options by using the array-of-array form, or open /kagan-settings from the project — see the configuration reference.
