Claudia

A task management system built for AI agents.

Official website: https://claudiacli.com/

Claudia provides structured task tracking with a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, enabling AI assistants like Claude to manage their own work through hierarchical tasks, dependencies, sprints, and acceptance criteria verification.

Why Claudia?

AI agents need a way to:

• Track progress across complex, multi-step tasks
• Coordinate when multiple agents work on the same project
• Remember context between sessions (64KB JSON storage per task)
• Verify work against acceptance criteria before completion
• Organize work into sprints and project hierarchies

Claudia provides all of this through both a CLI and MCP server interface.

Quick Start

# Install Bun if you haven't already
curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

# Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/yuvalsuede/claudia.git
cd claudia
bun install
bun run build

# Initialize and start using
./claudia db init
./claudia task create --title "My first task"
./claudia task list

Try the Demo

See Claudia in action with sample data:

# Seed demo project with sample tasks and sprints
bun run seed:demo

# Open the web dashboard
./claudia @@ --port 3333

Then open http://localhost:3333 in your browser to explore the kanban board and sprint views.

Features

Feature	Description
Hierarchical Tasks	Parent-child relationships with tree visualization
State Machine	Validated transitions: pending → in_progress → verification → completed
Dependencies	Block tasks until prerequisites complete, with cycle detection
Sprints	Group tasks into time-boxed work periods
Multi-Project	Isolated task namespaces with auto-detection from working directory
Agent Memory	64KB JSON context storage per task
Acceptance Criteria	Define and verify requirements before task completion
Multi-Agent Coordination	Atomic task claiming, optimistic locking, conflict detection
Web Dashboard	Visual kanban board with project/sprint filtering
MCP Server	Drop-in integration with Claude Code and other MCP clients

Usage

CLI Commands

Task Management

# Create a task
claudia task create --title "Implement feature X" --priority p1

# Create with acceptance criteria
claudia task create --title "Add login" --acceptance-criteria "Has email field" --acceptance-criteria "Has password field"

# List tasks
claudia task list
claudia task list --status in_progress --priority p0,p1

# Show task details
claudia task show <task-id>

# Update a task
claudia task update <task-id> --title "New title" --priority p0

# Transition status
claudia task transition <task-id> --to in_progress

# Delete a task
claudia task delete <task-id> --force

Task Hierarchy

# Create a subtask
claudia task create --title "Subtask" --parent <parent-id>

# View task tree
claudia task tree              # Full tree
claudia task tree <task-id>    # Subtree from task

Task Context (Agent Memory)

# Set context (overwrites)
claudia task context-set <task-id> '{"key": "value"}'

# Merge context (deep merge)
claudia task context-merge <task-id> '{"additional": "data"}'

# Get context
claudia task context-get <task-id>

Dependencies

# Add dependency (task depends on blocker)
claudia task depends <task-id> --on <blocker-id>

# Remove dependency
claudia task undepends <task-id> --on <blocker-id>

# Show dependencies
claudia task deps <task-id>

# List blocked tasks
claudia task blocked

# List ready tasks (all deps satisfied)
claudia task ready

# Create a sprint
claudia sprint create --name "Sprint 1" --start 2024-01-15 --end 2024-01-29

# List sprints
claudia sprint list

# Show sprint with tasks
claudia sprint show <sprint-id>

# Activate a sprint
claudia sprint activate <sprint-id>

Projects

# Create a project
claudia project create --name "My Project" --path /path/to/project

# List projects
