Tasks & goals

From a request to reviewed work.

Write a task, choose where it runs and let a worker and an independent reviewer handle it. Dependent tasks wait their turn. You stay in charge of what gets delivered.

Tell it what, where and when

A task holds a prompt, an optional verify command and dependencies on other tasks in the same project. Choose the machine, branch and worktree where it runs.

Reviewed by someone else

A worker does the task and an independent reviewer checks it. Findings stay attached to the task, small corrections can run automatically, and you can retry, stop or re-check.

Goals, sprints and your day

Goals plan several tasks and check the combined result before they finish. Sprints track capacity, velocity and burndown. Today shows sessions, agent time and estimated cost per project.

What you can do

  • Tasks with prompts, verify commands and dependencies
  • Choose machine, branch and worktree per task
  • Worker plus independent reviewer with attached findings
  • Retry, stop, re-check, reorder and pause the queue
  • Goals with planned tasks and owner plan approval
  • Sprints with capacity, velocity and burndown
  • Stewards that suggest next work without starting it
  • Today: sessions, run time and estimated cost per day

Examples

Ship a feature in steps

Queue “add API endpoint”, then “write tests”, then “update docs” as dependent tasks on one branch.

Work on another machine

Send a heavy task to a connected build machine's checkout.

Good to know

Completed, reviewed and delivered are separate states; a task with open findings is not approved. Agents cannot mark their own task done or merge it. Merging and delivery stay with you.

Questions

Can tasks run in parallel?

Yes, independent tasks can. Dependent tasks wait until the earlier task passes its checks and is delivered.

Who reviews the agent's work?

An independent reviewer session checks each task, and you make the final decision.

Does it work with Jira?

Jira work items can appear in Inbox, and the Jira board is available as a separate integration.
