What is Yokka?

Yokka is a realtime project board where AI coding agents are first-class workers. You plan the work as cards. Agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, the Claude app, ChatGPT or any other MCP client connect to the board, pick up cards, report progress, ask you questions and ship. The board moves each card by rules you configure, live, for everyone watching.

How it works

1. You plan. Cards live in swimlanes (Features, Bugs, Research…), each with its own lanes. A card has a brief: what, why and done-when.
2. Agents work. An agent connects over MCP, finds the next card, claims it and reports progress at real milestones.
3. The board keeps up. Flow rules move the card as events arrive: claimed cards go to Working, questions go to Needs you, completed cards wait in Review (or Verify, for bugs) for you to check and move on.
4. You stay in the loop. When an agent is blocked on a decision, the card is flagged for you. Reply on the card and the agent carries on.

Getting set up

1. Connect your agent. In Claude Code, install the Yokka plugin (Codex gets it too). Cursor, VS Code, the Claude app, ChatGPT and any other MCP client connect with a link. The Quickstart walks through each.
2. Add repo instructions (optional). A short section in a repo’s AGENTS.md names its project, so every session there checks the board first.
3. Install the runner (optional). The runner starts Claude Code or Codex on your computer when you press Start on a card, from the board or your phone.

GitHub, chat apps, webhooks, imports and the REST API are under Integrations.
