Prompt2Issue

A simple, local kanban board for managing your daily tasks — with an AI helper that turns a plain-language plan into ready-to-use cards.

Write something like "today I want to finish the API docs and fix the login bug", and Prompt2Issue creates kanban cards for it. You can also add and edit cards by hand. Each day's plan is saved so you can look back.

The UI is in English. Write your plan in any language — cards are created in that same language (write in Turkish, get Turkish cards).

How it works

The AI feature runs through the Claude Code CLI in headless mode (claude -p) using your existing Claude Code subscription session on your machine. That means:

• No API key and no per-call API billing — it uses the subscription you're already logged into.
• Everything stays local. The app runs on localhost, and your plans are stored as plain JSON files on your own disk. Nothing is sent to any server other than the Claude request the CLI already makes.

Because it relies on your local, logged-in Claude Code session, Prompt2Issue is designed to run on your own machine, not as a public website.

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+

• Claude Code installed and logged in. Verify with:

  claude --version   # should print a version
  claude -p "say hi" # should respond (confirms you are logged in)

No npm dependencies are required.

Install & run

git clone <your-repo-url> prompt2issue
cd prompt2issue
node server.js

Then open http://localhost:5173.

To use a different port: PORT=8080 node server.js.

The server binds to 127.0.0.1 (your machine only). To reach it from another device on your network — and only if you understand the implications, since there is no authentication — start it with HOST=0.0.0.0 node server.js.

Usage

• Add a card by hand: click the + in the To Do column.
• Generate cards with AI: type your plan in the top box and click Generate cards.
  • With Preview before adding checked — the default — you get a preview where you can edit, remove, then confirm the suggested cards.
  • Uncheck it to add the generated cards straight to the board.
• Move cards: drag them between the To Do / In Progress / Done columns.
• Carry-over: when you open a new day, unfinished cards from your most recent day move forward automatically. A ↻ Nd badge shows how many days a card has been on the board. Finished cards stay in the day you completed them.
• History: pick a date or use the Past days… dropdown to revisit a previous day's plan.

Data & privacy

Each day is saved to data/YYYY-MM-DD.json in the project folder — readable JSON you can back up or edit. The data/ directory is git-ignored, so your personal plans are never committed.

Tech

Zero-dependency Node.js: the built-in http, fs, and child_process modules serve a static vanilla-JS frontend and a small JSON API. No build step.
