Introducing VS Code Agent Kanban: Task Management for the AI-Assisted Developer (Blog Post)

VS Code Agent Kanban is a new VS Code extension that addresses 'context rot' in AI-assisted development workflows. It stores every task as a plain Markdown file with YAML frontmatter in a `.agentkanban/tasks/` folder, making task history persistent, diffable, and committable to Git. The extension integrates with GitHub Copilot Chat via a `@kanban` chat participant, supporting a structured `plan` → `todo` → `implement` workflow without bundling its own LLM harness. A visual Kanban board in the Activity Bar provides a lightweight overview of task status. The design prioritizes simplicity, GitOps compatibility, and team visibility into AI-assisted work.
