What it solves

Codex Taskboard provides a local-first issue tracking system designed specifically for AI-driven development workflows. It bridges the gap between a project's task list and an AI agent (Codex), allowing the agent to autonomously manage and update the status of issues as it works through a codebase.

How it works

The project consists of a local service powered by a SQLite database, a React-based web UI, and a CLI tool (taskctl). It integrates directly into the Codex desktop application via a Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) injection script that adds a Taskboard entry to the Codex sidebar.

Crucially, it includes a "Codex Skill"—a set of instructions that teaches the AI agent how to interact with the taskboard. This allows the agent to inspect issues, move them to in_progress, verify its own work, and move tasks to in_review or done based on user confirmation.

Who it’s for

Developers using the Codex AI agent who want a structured, local-first way to track issues and project progress without leaving their AI workspace.

Highlights

• Deep Codex Integration: Injects a native-looking sidebar panel directly into the Codex app via CDP.
• AI-Agent Native: Includes a dedicated Skill that enables the AI to autonomously manage the issue lifecycle.
• Local-First: Uses a local SQLite database by default, ensuring data remains on the user's machine.
• Cross-Platform: Provides dedicated installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux (Ubuntu).
• CLI Access: A taskctl command-line tool for programmatic project and issue creation.
• Cloud Collaboration: Optional deployment via Cloudflare (Workers, D1, R2) for shared team taskboards.
