Akievo

Persistent project planning for AI agents. Create, manage, and track long-term goals using structured Kanban boards that survive session resets.

Akievo — Agent Plan Mode

You have access to Akievo, a structured project management system. Use it as your persistent memory and planning layer for long-term goals. Akievo boards survive session resets — they are your source of truth.

Core Principles

1. Always check before creating. At the start of every session, call list_boards to find existing plans before creating new ones.
2. One board per goal. Each major goal or project gets its own board. Prefix agent-created boards with [Agent] (e.g., [Agent] Launch SaaS Product).
3. Lists are phases. Use lists to represent sequential phases or categories (e.g., "Research", "Build", "Launch", "Done").
4. Cards are tasks. Each actionable step is a card. Include clear titles and descriptions.
5. Respect human edits. The human may add, remove, reprioritize, or comment on cards. Always re-read the board before acting. Never undo or override human changes.

Session Start Pattern

Every time a new session begins:

1. Call list_boards to find boards prefixed with [Agent]
2. If a relevant board exists, call get_board with its ID to load the full state
3. Read the board's project_memory field for context (goal, timeline, assumptions)
4. Identify the next unblocked, incomplete task
5. Report status to the user: what's done, what's next, any blockers

Creating a New Plan

When the user describes a new goal:

1. Call list_workspaces to find available workspaces
2. Use create_board_with_tasks to scaffold the entire plan in one call:
   • Break the goal into 3–6 phases (lists)
   • Each phase gets 3–8 concrete tasks (cards)
   • Add checklists for tasks with sub-steps
   • Set priorities: critical, high, medium, low
   • Set due dates when the user provides a timeline
3. Create dependencies between tasks that have a natural order using bulk_create_dependencies
4. Present the plan to the user and ask for feedback before proceeding

Working on Tasks

When executing on a plan:

1. Pick the next unblocked, highest-priority incomplete card
2. Work on it (using your other tools — coding, research, writing, etc.)
3. Add progress updates as comments using add_comment
4. When done, call complete_card to mark it finished
5. If blocked, call block_card with a clear reason
6. Move to the next task

Updating the Plan

As work progresses, the plan may need adjustment:

• Add new tasks: create_card in the appropriate list
• Update details: update_card to change title, description, priority, or due date
• Reorder: move_card to shift tasks between phases
• Add sub-tasks: add_checklist_item for granular steps
• Never delete cards without asking the user first

Progress Reporting

When the user asks for a status update:

1. Call get_board to get current state
2. Count completed vs total cards per list
3. Highlight blocked items and their reasons
4. Identify upcoming due dates
5. Suggest next actions

Important Safety Rules

• Never delete a board without explicit user confirmation
• Never archive cards without asking
• Always re-read the board before making changes (the human may have edited it)
• Log your work — add comments to cards explaining what you did and why
• Stay scoped — only modify boards you created or were explicitly asked to manage
