Nimbalyst: Kanban-Powered AI Coding Workspace
Nimbalyst combines Codex and Claude Code subscriptions into a visual IDE with Kanban boards, AI planning, parallel sessions, and auto-commits to orchestrate AI agents without tool-switching.
Unify Multi-Provider AI Access with Existing Subscriptions
Connect pre-authenticated Codex and Claude Code CLI subscriptions to access both in one dashboard, tracking usage across providers without new sign-ups. Set agent autonomy levels—query-only, allow edits, or full permissions (like Codex yellow mode or Claude's dangerously skip)—to control how aggressively agents modify code. This setup lets you switch models mid-task, such as pivoting from Claude to Codex for a neo-brutalist hero redesign, while monitoring costs in real-time split windows.
Local models integrate via LM Studio for offline use, and visual aids like Mermaid diagrams or Excalidraw sketches render project architecture on demand. No lock-in: leverage Claude plugins, cloud code skills, MCP servers, or marketplace extensions for slides, 3D objects, or mind maps.
Generate and Iterate Plans as Versioned Markdown Checklists
Prompt agents to build projects like a Next.js SaaS landing page for "Developers Digest," yielding a markdown plan.md with goal (production-quality page), success criteria, tech stack, and phased implementation. Edit sections inline—remove proposals or answer clarifying questions on newsletter providers (e.g., Resend + Audiences), deployment (Vercel), video grid links (YouTube), or themes—before approving.
Agents dynamically tag plans and update checklists as they progress, verifying completion against the document. This turns vague ideas into scaffolded apps: Next.js structure with app/, public/, hero, footer, and features like video galleries, all from greenfield folders created in-app.
Orchestrate Parallel Tasks Across Kanban Swimlanes
Kanban boards auto-move sessions through stages (planning, in-progress, review) as agents execute, supporting multiple parallel subtasks—like enhancing hero color, creative footers, or adding blog/video gallery pages—without leaving the workspace. Prioritize backlog items (e.g., video gallery on homepage) like in Linear, then launch sessions directly to inherit context and implement.
Run sub-sessions in parallel for iteration; view all project phases across boards for multi-project oversight. This orchestrator abstraction handles agent swarms: spawn tasks from plans, track progress visually, and edit focused files or conversations without jumping to terminals, GitHub Desktop, or separate PM tools.
Streamline Commits and Iteration with Built-in Git
Use "commit with AI" to analyze thread changes, generate messages, and push directly—no external Git tools needed. Add tasks on-the-fly (e.g., video gallery), prioritize, and execute, building momentum: from scaffolded Next.js to styled heroes and footers in unified flows.
Trade-offs: Relies on CLI auth for subscriptions; full autonomy risks unintended edits (mitigate with permission sliders). Ideal for solo builders testing dev tools in empty dirs, scaling to complex orchestrations where agents handle repetitive scaffolding reliably.
