A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Kagan is a Kanban TUI for AI coding agents with a structural human review gate. No agent-authored task reaches your main branch without an explicit approval — the state machine enforces it.
The agent runs in an isolated git worktree. When it finishes, the task card moves to REVIEW. You read the diff, check the acceptance criteria, and press approve. Then merge fires. That transition — REVIEW to DONE — cannot be automated away. It is not a setting.
