Dew
Dew is a git-native project management CLI for developers who want a kanban board that lives in their repository and talks to AI agents. Tickets are plain Markdown files with YAML frontmatter — diff-friendly, grep-able, and version-controlled alongside your code.
Features
Kanban CLI
16 subcommands cover the full lifecycle of a ticket:
create list get update delete move
search comment archive unarchive link unlink
stats board config tui
Tickets are stored as .project/kanban/<column>/<ID>.md files. Labels, milestones, typed bidirectional links, and inline comments are all first-class citizens. See the Kanban documentation for the full command reference.
Interactive TUI
dew kanban tui opens a full Trello-style terminal board with three modes:
- Board — navigate columns and tickets, create/edit/move/archive/delete, live search filter
- Detail — scrollable view of a ticket's body and comments
- Editor — in-terminal modal for editing all ticket fields; opens
$VISUAL/$EDITORfor the body
The TUI auto-refreshes when ticket files change on disk, so it stays in sync whether you're editing files directly or an AI agent is updating them.
MCP Server
dew mcp serve starts an MCP-compliant stdio server that exposes every kanban command as an MCP tool. AI agents (GitHub Copilot, Claude, etc.) can create tickets, move cards, search, and comment — using the exact same logic as the CLI. No separate tool definitions needed: every command that mixes in DewToolCommand is registered automatically. See the MCP documentation.
Installation
dart pub global activate dew
Requires Dart SDK ^3.11.4.
Quick start
# Scaffold a new project (creates .project/dew.yaml)
dew init .
# Create your first ticket
dew kanban create --title "My first ticket" --type task
# Open the interactive board
dew kanban tui
Configuration
Dew reads .project/dew.yaml for board columns, ticket types, ID prefix, and MCP server settings. Running dew init . generates this file with defaults. See the Configuration documentation for the full schema reference.
