Code Review
This pull request introduces documentation for the new Kanban task management feature, adding detailed guides for both the general Kanban concepts (docs/features/kanban.mdx) and its command-line interface (docs/features/kanban-cli.mdx), along with updating the sidebar navigation in docs.json. The review feedback suggests improving discoverability by linking the Kanban CLI page in the main Kanban document's related section, and clarifying in the CLI examples that placeholder task IDs should be replaced with actual generated IDs since custom IDs are not supported during task creation.
Important
The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.

Since this page introduces the Kanban feature, linking the newly added Kanban CLI reference page in the Related section will significantly improve discoverability and navigation for users looking for command-line task management.

Since the praisonai kanban create command automatically generates task IDs (e.g., random hashes or UUIDs) and does not support a custom --id option, using hardcoded IDs like design_task in the example might confuse users. Clarifying that these should be replaced with the actual generated task IDs will prevent copy-paste errors.
