- 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(orcancelled). - CAS versioning: Updates and reorders require the current
versionnumber. If it mismatches, you get a409 version_conflictwith 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
POST /api/kanban/taskswith{ "title": "...", "description": "..." }→ returns task withidandversion.POST /api/kanban/tasks/:id/execute→ moves toin-progress, spawns an agent session.- The agent session runs, and on completion the task moves to
reviewautomatically. POST /api/kanban/tasks/:id/approve→ moves todone.
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:
POST /api/kanban/proposalswith{ "type": "create", "payload": { "title": "..." }, "proposedBy": "agent:myname" }.- The operator approves or rejects via
/api/kanban/proposals/:id/approveor/api/kanban/proposals/:id/reject.
