# What is Draft?

> AI-powered local-first kanban board that uses AI agents to automatically implement tickets

## Overview

Draft is an autonomous delivery system for codebases. You describe features in plain English, and AI agents handle the implementation — planning, coding, testing, and reviewing — all through a visual kanban board.

  <Card title="One Command Setup" icon="terminal">
    Run `npx draft-board` and you're up and running. No external services required.
  </Card>

  <Card title="AI-Powered Execution" icon="robot">
    Claude Code, Cursor Agent, and other AI tools implement your tickets automatically.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Git Worktree Isolation" icon="code-branch">
    Each ticket runs in its own isolated git worktree for safe parallel execution.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Built-in Verification" icon="check-double">
    Configurable test and lint commands verify every change before human review.
  </Card>

## How It Works

1. **Create a Goal** — Describe a feature or improvement in plain English
2. **Tickets Are Generated** — AI breaks the goal into actionable tickets
3. **Agents Execute** — AI code tools implement each ticket in an isolated worktree
4. **Changes Are Verified** — Automated tests and lints run against the changes
5. **You Review** — Approve, request changes, or let the agent iterate

| Layer           | Technology                              |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Frontend        | React 19 + Vite + TypeScript            |
| UI Components   | shadcn/ui + Tailwind CSS                |
| Backend         | FastAPI (Python 3.11+)                  |
| Database        | SQLite + Alembic migrations             |
| Background Jobs | In-process SQLiteWorker                 |
| AI Executors    | Claude Code CLI, Cursor Agent, and more |

## Local-First Philosophy

Draft runs entirely on your machine. No cloud services, no data leaving your environment.

* **SQLite** database — no Postgres or Redis needed
* **In-process** background worker — no Celery or external queues
* **Git worktrees** for isolation — no Docker containers per ticket
* **Your API keys** — AI calls go directly from your machine
