# Yokka

Connects your coding agent to a Yokka board where it picks up cards, tracks checklists, and reports blockers. Handy for managing autonomous workflows.

## What it does

The server wires your AI assistant directly into a live Yokka board. An agent inspects assigned cards, parses the issue details, follows a step-by-step checklist, and attaches the resulting pull request URL once done. Whenever questions arise or blockers pop up, the model posts them into the card discussion.

A built-in stop hook enforces accountability. Claude Code triggers `stop_check` at the end of each turn, preventing the model from quitting while a task is still marked in progress without an explanation. Running `/yokka:setup-repo` writes project context into `CLAUDE.md` or `AGENTS.md` so subsequent sessions check the queue automatically.

Setup requires an API token generated in the Yokka agent settings. Without this credential, server requests fail immediately.

## Requirements
- Remote server: `https://api.yokka.ai/mcp`

    "mcpServers": {
        "yokka": {
            "url": "https://api.yokka.ai/mcp"
        }
    }
}
```

### GitHub Copilot

## When to use it
- assign coding tasks to AI agents via kanban cards
- prevent agents from quitting mid-task without leaving status updates
- log pull request links and task summaries directly to board items
- configure repositories to check board queues on startup

## Example prompts
- /yokka:next
- /yokka:work 15
- /yokka:status
