Kepler, GitKraken’s Agentic Development Environment (ADE), has three views for managing Tasks, worktrees, and agent sessions. Switch between them using the top navigation bar.
Choosing a View
Choose based on what you’re doing.
| View | Best for |
|---|---|
| List | Reviewing diffs, commits, and file history on one worktree |
| Kanban | Tracking work status across all Tasks |
| Console | Monitoring multiple agent sessions and sending instructions |
List View
List view shows a single worktree’s changes, agent session, and commit history.
Layout
List view is divided into three panels:
- Left sidebar — Task and worktree navigation
- Center panel — Diff or agent session
- Right panel — Git history
Left Sidebar
The sidebar lists all Tasks and their associated worktrees. The Tasks N header shows the total Task count.
Tasks appear at the top level. Each Task expands to show its worktrees, labeled with the branch name and repository. A dot indicator on a worktree means it Needs Attention.
Use the Filter/search bar to narrow the list by Task or worktree name.
Click a worktree to open its diff and commit history in the center and right panels. The breadcrumb at the top of the center panel shows Task name → worktree name.
Center Panel — Diff View
The diff panel shows the file changes for the selected worktree.
Each file shows its path and +/- line stats. Use the Stacked/Split toggle to switch between unified and side-by-side diff layouts. Unmodified sections are collapsed by default; click to expand them. Added lines appear in green; removed lines appear in red.
To return to the agent session from the diff view, click Back to session (×).
Right Panel — Git History
The right panel shows Working changes at the top, followed by a list of recent commits.
Click any commit to see its full detail: title, description, author, email, timestamp, hash, branch tags, and a file list with +/- stats and M / A / D change indicators.
Push, Pull, and Fetch
Push, Pull, and Fetch buttons appear in the top-right corner of List view. Use them to sync the current worktree’s branch with its remote.
Create Command
The Create command… dropdown in the top navigation is for creating saved command templates.
Kanban View
Kanban view shows every worktree as a card on a board, organized by development stage.
Board Layout
Worktrees move across four columns as work progresses:
- Exploration
- In Development
- In Review
- Done
Each column header displays the number of worktrees currently in that stage.
Card Anatomy
Each card represents one worktree and shows:
- Branch name
- External link (↗) to open the branch in your source host
- Task name
- Repository name
- Session status badge
- Open chat button
- Archive icon
- Agent indicator — agent initial, last context snippet, and time since last activity
- + New session button
If no agent session has been started yet, the card shows a No sessions yet state. Use + New session to start one.
Search and Filters
Use the Search bar to find worktrees by branch name or Task name.
Use the Filters panel to narrow the board by:
- Status — Needs Attention, Active, Idle, Errored, Inactive. All statuses are enabled by default.
- Repos — limit to one or more specific repositories.
- Tasks — filter by Task name. Select No task to show worktrees that are not associated with any Task.
- Agent — filter by agent runtime (for example, Claude Code, Codex).


Use the Sort control to order cards (for example, Newest first).
Console View
Console view shows all active agent sessions side by side.
Session Column Layout
Each session appears as a column. The Task header shows the session name and a count of active sessions.
Each column header includes:
- Session name (truncated)
- Repository name
- Controls: external link (↗), expand, add (+), close (×)
- Status bar with session index (#1, #2, #3)
- Status badge
- Repository name
- Task name
- Time since last activity
CHANGES Section
Each session column contains a collapsible CHANGES N section, where N is the total number of changed files.
Expand it to see STAGED and UNSTAGED sub-sections. Each file is listed with its path and a change indicator (M, A, or D).
Use this section to check staged and unstaged changes without leaving Console view. For the full diff or staging controls, switch to List view.
Conversation Format
Each session column displays the conversation between you and the agent:
- Your messages appear as chat bubbles.
- Agent responses appear as formatted markdown.
- Tool calls appear as collapsible rows with a Completed badge or an error state.

Input Bar
The input bar at the bottom of each session column includes:
- Microphone (🎤) for voice input
- Attachment button
- Mode selector
- Model selector (Default recommended)
- Effort selector
- A usage indicator
- Send button (↑)
You can change Mode, Model, and Effort on a per-message basis.
Disconnected Sessions
If a session loses connection to its runtime, it appears as disconnected in the column.
Notifications
When a Task completes or needs attention, a toast notification appears with a View button. Click View to open the Task.
