# Dew
|
|
|
|
[](https://pub.dev/packages/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:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
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](./docs/features/kanban.md) for the full command reference.
|
|
|
|
### Infrastructure
|
|
|
|
`dew infra` discovers services under `.project/infrastructure/services`, validates
|
|
their manifests and schemas, and manages Podman Quadlets through systemd. The
|
|
runtime boundary is explicit so other container backends can be added later.
|
|
|
|
### 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 `$VISUAL`/`$EDITOR` for 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 Dew commands
|
|
as MCP tools. AI agents (GitHub Copilot, Claude, etc.) can create tickets, move
|
|
cards, search, comment, and manage project infrastructure through the same logic
|
|
as the CLI. See the [MCP documentation](./docs/features/mcp.md).
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dart pub global activate dew
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Requires Dart SDK ^3.12.0.
|
|
|
|
## Quick start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# 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](./docs/config.md) for the full schema reference.
