name	nerve-kanban
description	Interact with the Nerve Kanban board API. CRUD tasks, manage workflow (execute, approve, reject, abort), handle proposals, configure the board. All endpoints are under /api/kanban on the Nerve server.

Nerve Kanban API Skill

Use this skill to manage tasks on the Nerve Kanban board via its REST API.

Base URL

All endpoints are relative to the Nerve server origin (e.g. http://localhost:3000). Prefix every path with /api/kanban.

Core Concepts

• Tasks flow through columns: backlog → todo → in-progress → review → done (or cancelled).
• CAS versioning: Updates and reorders require the current version number. If it mismatches, you get a 409 version_conflict with the server's latest task. Re-read and retry.
• Workflow actions enforce valid transitions. You can't execute a task that's already in review.
• Proposals let agents suggest task creation or updates. The operator (or auto-policy) approves/rejects them.
• Actors are either "operator" or "agent:<name>".

Common Patterns

Creating and executing a task

1. POST /api/kanban/tasks with { "title": "...", "description": "..." } → returns task with id and version.
2. POST /api/kanban/tasks/:id/execute → moves to in-progress, spawns an agent session.
3. The agent session runs, and on completion the task moves to review automatically.
4. POST /api/kanban/tasks/:id/approve → moves to done.

Handling version conflicts

Always send version in PATCH and reorder requests. On 409, read latest from the response and retry with the updated version.

Proposing changes (as an agent)

Agents that can't directly modify the board should use proposals:

1. POST /api/kanban/proposals with { "type": "create", "payload": { "title": "..." }, "proposedBy": "agent:myname" }.
2. The operator approves or rejects via /api/kanban/proposals/:id/approve or /api/kanban/proposals/:id/reject.
