All commands are also available as a slash command in the interactive CLI and in the messaging gateway (see [`/kanban` slash command](#kanban-slash-command) below).
`--max-retries` is a per-task circuit-breaker override for the dispatcher. `--max-retries 1` blocks the task on the first non-successful attempt, while `--max-retries 3` allows two retries and blocks on the third failure. Omit it to use `kanban.failure_limit` from `config.yaml`, then the built-in default.
## `/kanban` slash command {#kanban-slash-command}
Every `hermes kanban <action>` verb is also reachable as `/kanban <action>` — from inside an interactive `hermes chat` session **and** from any gateway platform (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Signal, Matrix, Mattermost, email, SMS). Both surfaces call the exact same `hermes_cli.kanban.run_slash()` entry point that reuses the `hermes kanban` argparse tree, so the argument surface, flags, and output format are identical across CLI, `/kanban`, and `hermes kanban`. You don't have to leave the chat to drive the board.
