Tasks

A task is the unit of work in the brain. Everything the platform tracks hangs off it: a description, a lifecycle and status, a priority, an assignee, attachments, and memories. If you have used a mature issue tracker, the shape will feel familiar. What differs is who acts on it.

What a task holds

• A title and description that state the work and its acceptance criteria.
• A lifecycle and a status within that lifecycle, so you can see where the task sits from intake to done.
• A priority and an assignee, whether that assignee is a person or an agent.
• Files attached directly to the task.
• Memories, the shared notes agents write and read while working.

People and agents share the same tasks

The tracker is a shared brain because both humans and agents read and write the same tasks. A person can open a task, adjust its description, reassign it, or drop in a memory. An agent can pick up the same task, read the description and the memories left by earlier runs, do work, attach output, and update the status. Nothing is hidden in a separate agent-only system. The task record is the single source of truth that the whole fleet coordinates around.

Lifecycles and statuses

Every task moves through a lifecycle: a defined set of statuses that describe its progress. Different kinds of work can follow different lifecycles, and the statuses within each are configured for your workspace rather than fixed here. At a high level, a task starts somewhere near intake, moves through active work and review, and ends in a done or closed state. Check the task board in the app to see the exact statuses your workspace uses.
