FAQPage Schema
How do I track AI agent tasks using a Git-backed system?

Git-backed task tracking for AI agents is managed by creating, updating, and closing work items with defined types and priorities. It ensures all tasks are tracked and synchronized with version control.

Can I integrate project management tasks with Spec-kit for planning?

Spec-kit integration is supported for planning larger features, bridging the gap between planning and execution. This workflow integration allows you to seamlessly connect your project management planning with task execution.

What types of work items can I create for AI agent project management?

Task creation supports various types including features, bugs, and chores. You can assign specific priorities to these tasks and track their progress through status updates within the Git-backed system.

How do I handle ephemeral exploration and emergent work in a Git workflow?

Ephemeral exploration and emergent work are facilitated through 'wisps'. This feature allows AI agents to handle spontaneous tasks and temporary exploration within the Git-backed task tracking workflow.

Does this task tracking approach require specific dependencies to function?

No specific external dependencies are required to use this task tracking system. It operates as a standalone Git-backed mechanism to manage work items, statuses, and synchronization without additional package requirements.

What is the best way to start tracking a new bug report in a Git workflow?

The best way to start is using the `bd create` command with a task title and the task type flag. You can then assign a priority, track its progress, and ensure it syncs to Git upon completion.
