Kanban board

The Board is a kanban view of the project's work items. Its special trick: cards can be assigned to AI agents or crews, and dragging an agent's card to To Do kicks off an agent run.

Columns

Backlog · To Do · In Progress · Review · Done. Each column shows its card count and has a + Add card composer at the bottom.

Creating a card

The composer takes:

  • Title (required) and an optional description.
  • Assignee — Unassigned, Me, any 🤖 agent, or any 👥 crew.
  • Artifact IDs — optional comma-separated artifact IDs to attach the relevant requirements to the card.

Driving agents from the board

Tip shown on the board itself: assign a card to an agent and drag it to To Do to launch the agent.

  • When you move a card assigned to an agent into To Do, an agent run is enqueued for that card (skipped if a live run is already attached). Only human moves trigger this — the automatic card moves that track run progress don't. Crew-assigned cards don't launch from the board; launch crews from the Crew page or an automation.
  • A pulsing blue dot on a card means a run is live (queued, claimed, or running). While a run is live the card is locked — it can't be dragged until the run finishes.
  • The agent's progress and comments land back on the card's activity feed.

The card drawer

Click a card to open its drawer:

  • Edit the title and description.
  • See linked artifacts (from the artifact IDs) with links into the Requirements view.
  • Follow the activity feed — comments, moves, status changes, and agent run events — and add your own comments.
  • Delete the card.

Moving cards

Drag any unlocked card between columns or within a column. Human-assigned and unassigned cards behave like a normal kanban; only agent/crew cards with live runs are locked.

Work items can also be created by crews: when a crew edge hands work off to (or requests review from) a person who can open the project, a board card assigned to that person appears automatically — see Crews.

To-dos: the same work, by person

Plan → To-dos lists the project's work items under the person each one belongs to, instead of under the column it sits in. It is a different arrangement of the board, not a second list: move a card on the board and the To-dos page says so, and vice versa.

  • Everyone with access to the project gets a section, including people who owe nothing — that is what makes it answer who owes what.
  • Each row shows the item's status, its due date if it has one, and whether it came from a note. Anything overdue is called out.
  • Just mine narrows the page to your own list. Show done brings finished work back into view; by default the page shows only what is still open.
  • Click a row to open the same card drawer the board uses.
  • Work assigned to an agent or a team is gathered under Agents and teams, and anything with no assignee under Unassigned, so nothing is hidden by having nobody's name on it.

Raising a to-do from a note

Mentioning someone with @name in a note on an artifact tells them about it — it does not create work for them. To turn the ask into something tracked, use + Add to-do on the note:

  • Whoever the note names is filled in as the assignee, and the note's first line as the title. Both can be changed, and you can set a due date.
  • The full note becomes the to-do's description, and the artifact the note is on is linked to it, so the card arrives with its context.
  • The to-do lands in To Do and appears on the board and on the To-dos page straight away.

Afterwards the note carries a small link to the to-do showing its current status — so a thread from three weeks ago tells you whether the thing being discussed ever got done, without going to look. The status is read from the card each time, not copied, so moving the card updates the note.

A note can raise one to-do. System and agent entries in the feed do not offer the control: those are a record of what happened, not somebody asking for something.
