Archetype

**other-harness** -- A full-featured kanban-based task management and workspace orchestration platform for coding agents. Written in Rust + TypeScript (pnpm monorepo). Includes a web UI with kanban board, workspace management (branch + terminal + dev server per agent), inline code review, built-in browser preview, and support for 10+ coding agents.

Key Techniques

1. **Kanban-to-workspace pipeline** -- Issues on kanban board become workspaces with isolated git worktrees, terminals, and dev servers 2. **Multi-agent executor abstraction** -- Unified interface for 10+ coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Amp, Cursor, OpenCode, Droid, CCR, Qwen Code) 3. **Inline code review** -- Review diffs and leave comments that get sent directly to the agent 4. **Built-in browser preview** -- Preview with devtools, inspect mode, and device emulation 5. **Git worktree isolation** -- Each workspace gets its own branch via git worktrees 6. **PR lifecycle** -- Create PRs with AI-generated descriptions, review, and merge from UI

Processes

1. Kanban-Driven Agent Orchestration (specializations/shared/kanban-agent-orchestration)

A cross-domain process for organizing multi-task work using kanban methodology with coding agent dispatch.

**Phases:** 1. **Issue decomposition** -- Break feature/project into kanban issues with priority, labels, and acceptance criteria 2. **Dependency mapping** -- Identify issue dependencies and determine execution order (parallel where possible) 3. **Workspace provisioning** -- For each ready issue: create isolated workspace (git worktree + branch) 4. **Agent dispatch** -- Assign coding agent to workspace with issue description as prompt; use ctx.parallel.all() for independent issues 5. **Review gate** -- Breakpoint for human review of each agent's diff output; inline comments feed back to agent for revision 6. **PR creation** -- Generate PR with AI-assisted description from completed work 7. **Board update** -- Move issues through kanban columns (todo -> in-progress -> review -> done)

**Key insight:** The kanban board as orchestration layer maps well to babysitter's task dispatch. Each kanban issue becomes a task, the board state becomes process state, and review gates become breakpoints.

**Placement justification:** Kanban is a cross-domain workflow pattern. Goes in specializations/shared/.

Plugin Ideas

1. Kanban Board Dashboard Widget (Category: Developer Experience & UX)

A babysitter plugin that renders pending/active/completed tasks as a kanban board in the observer dashboard. Maps babysitter's task states to kanban columns: pending -> "To Do", active -> "In Progress", completed -> "Done", failed -> "Blocked".

**install.md**: Registers an observer-dashboard widget that reads run task state and renders a kanban view. Supports drag-and-drop priority reordering. Provides /kanban command to view board in terminal.

2. Git Worktree Workspace Isolation (Category: DevOps & Infrastructure)

A babysitter plugin that provisions isolated git worktrees for parallel task execution. When a process dispatches parallel tasks, each task gets its own worktree with a dedicated branch, preventing merge conflicts during concurrent work.

**install.md**: Installs on-task-start hook that creates a git worktree for the task's workspace. On on-task-complete, merges the worktree branch back and cleans up. Handles merge conflicts by creating a breakpoint for human resolution.
