TUI Applications

Terminal-based user interfaces for task management and code understanding

The aitasks framework includes several terminal-based user interfaces (TUIs) built with Textual. Although grouped together here, they serve different stages of the typical workflow.

Kanban Board (ait board) — Used at the beginning of the workflow: triage tasks, set priorities, organize work into columns, and decide what to implement next. The board is your task management hub before code gets written.

Code Browser (ait codebrowser) — Used at the end of the workflow, or when onboarding to unfamiliar code: browse files with syntax highlighting and task-aware annotations that show which aitasks contributed to each section of code. The code browser helps you understand what was done and why, rebuilding knowledge about AI-generated code through the structured records that aitasks creates during implementation.

Settings (ait settings) — Configure code agent defaults, board settings, browse available models, and manage execution profiles. The settings TUI provides a centralized interface for all aitasks configuration that would otherwise require editing JSON and YAML files directly.

All TUIs require the shared Python virtual environment installed by ait setup.
