How the task board works

The task board gives you one place to review, start, monitor, and apply Agent tasks. Use it when Agent breaks a large request into multiple pieces, when you want to run work in the background, or when you need to understand what has already changed in your project. Tasks are organized into columns based on status. The board shows what Agent has planned, what is running, what is ready for review, and what has already been applied. Each task moves from left to right as it progresses:

• Drafts: tasks Agent has planned but has not started
• Active: tasks Agent is building now, including tasks queued behind your active task limit
• Ready: tasks Agent has finished and are ready for your review
• Done: tasks that are finished, archived, or cancelled

​

Drafts

Drafts are planned tasks that Agent has not started building yet. Each draft includes a title, description, and step-by-step plan. Use Drafts to review Agent’s proposed approach before work starts. You can inspect the plan, ask Agent to adjust it, or start the task when you’re ready. Drafts are useful when you want to plan a larger feature before committing background work. For example, Agent might split an onboarding project into separate drafts for authentication, profile setup, dashboard UI, and deployment polish.

​

Active

Once you accept a task, it moves to the Active column and Agent starts building. Each task runs in its own isolated copy of your project, so nothing changes in your main version until you apply the work. Some tasks depend on others. For example, a task that builds a dashboard may need the database schema task to finish first. Dependent tasks wait as Queued until their prerequisites finish. Tasks also queue if you reach your plan’s active background task limit.

​

Ready

When a task finishes building, it moves to Ready. This means the work is complete, but nothing has changed in your main version yet. You can apply changes in two ways:

• From the thread: open the task’s thread and select Apply changes to main version to bring the work into your project, or Dismiss to discard it
• From the board: select the three-dot menu on any Ready task card, then select Apply changes

Review Ready tasks before applying them. Check the work log, test output, and preview so you understand what Agent changed.

​

Done

Once applied, the task card moves to the Done column. The Done column also includes archived planning sessions and cancelled tasks. This gives you a history of what happened without mixing finished work back into Drafts or Active. Agent handles conflicts automatically when you apply changes from multiple tasks. If something doesn’t look right, ask Agent to fix it.

​

Find and filter tasks

Use the task board when your project has many tasks in flight. You can search by task title or task number, filter drafts, and use edit mode to manage groups of tasks at once. For example, search by task number when someone references a task from a thread, review, or Slack conversation. Filter drafts when you want to focus on planned work without scanning active or finished tasks. For suggested follow-ups, see Follow-up tasks.
