At MakerX, we built Kagan — a conductor for your AI coding agents

Your best agents still need a conductor. At MakerX we kept running into the same problem: great AI agents, but no coherent way to orchestrate them across a real dev workflow. Tasks scattered across terminals, no shared state, no structured review gate. So we built Kagan — a keyboard-first Kanban TUI that orchestrates coding agents across the full task lifecycle. Plan. Run. Review. Merge. No context lost between steps. And critically: it doesn't try to automate everything. Kagan is a Swiss Army knife for AI-assisted development — you choose the level of autonomy per task, not per project. Three acts 01 — The Brief Describe what you want built. Kagan turns it into a structured task on a Kanban board. Nothing runs until you approve. Choose AUTO (hands-off) or PAIR (interactive) per task — you can mix both on the same board. 02 — The Stage The core daemon spawns agents in isolated git worktrees — zero conflicts between concurrent tasks. The Agent Communication Protocol (ACP) manages sessio
