Learn about VibeCoder Heretic's core concepts - AI agents, the orchestrator, and Kanban integration

## Core Concepts

### AI Agents

At the heart of VibeCoder Heretic are AI agents - autonomous systems that can:

- Read and understand codebases
- Execute development tasks
- Communicate via Kanban boards
- Learn from feedback

### The Orchestrator

The orchestrator is the central component that:

1. **Manages Workflows** - Defines how tasks flow through your development pipeline
2. **Coordinates Agents** - Assigns tasks to appropriate AI agents
3. **Monitors Progress** - Tracks task status and handles failures
4. **Integrates Tools** - Connects with external services via MCP

### Kanban Integration

VibeCoder Heretic uses Kanban boards as the primary interface between humans and AI agents:

- **Task Cards** - Each card represents a unit of work
- **Columns** - Define workflow stages (To Do, In Progress, Review, Done)
- **Comments** - Enable communication between agents and humans
