Kanban board with placeholder overlay

For AI Agents

Hand your agent this brief or the ReUI MCP, not a screenshot. Free to install.

Best for: Task cards with priority, assignee and due date, dragged as a dashed placeholder box between reorderable columns

When to use

Boards that move cards between status columns by drag and drop
Roadmap and workflow views where each column is one stage of the work

When not to use

A board whose moves must reach a server and roll back on failure: use the Kanban Persisted Moves example
Drags that should show the card itself under the pointer: use the Kanban Dynamic Overlay example
A finished tracker for issues, tickets or releases with rich cards: use the Kanban Board blocks
A sales deal pipeline with values, owners and stage forecasts: use the CRM blocks
A single flat list reordered by drag, with no columns: use the Sortable component

Agent notes

Column headers read COLUMN_TITLES by key, so a new key in columns needs a title entry or its header is blank
Save moves in onValueCommit, which fires once per drop with previousValue for rollback; onValueChange also fires mid drag
Drag listeners live on KanbanItemHandle and KanbanColumnHandle; a card or column without one cannot be dragged
KanbanColumnHandle is hidden until its column is hovered or the handle has keyboard focus, so keep the column title outside it
