# Add a column to a project's board

`POST /projects/{id}/columns`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.atako.ai`
- URL: `https://api.atako.ai/projects/{id}/columns`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Appended at the end — a new column has no reason to slip into a flow the team already ordered.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- object
  - `name` string, required
  - `kind` 'backlog' | 'active' | 'review' | 'done', required

## Response `201`

- ProjectColumn: One column of a project's board. Columns belong to the project — Atako imposes no global set of states — so `kind` is how the rest of the interface knows which column means finished without hard-coding a name.
  - `id` string, uuid, required
  - `name` string, required
  - `kind` 'backlog' | 'active' | 'review' | 'done', required

## Other responses

- `400`: Validation error / malformed id.
- `401`: Missing, malformed, or invalid bearer token / API key, or revoked session (SESSION_REVOKED).
- `404`: Not found, or the caller is not authorized to access this resource.
