SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Dex addresses the challenge of coordinating multi-session work by turning work into structured tickets that preserve full context, decisions, and outcomes for easy handoffs and long-term traceability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ticket-based tasks: Each task, epic, or subtask captures Name, Description, and Result to provide clear context and measurable progress.
  • Persistent context: Context persists across sessions, enabling planning, review, and cross-team collaboration.
  • Hierarchical planning: Supports Epic → Task → Subtask structures for breaking down large initiatives.

Quick Start

Use the dex CLI to create, list, view, and complete tasks. Example: dex create "Plan feature X" --description "Outline scope, dependencies, and acceptance criteria" && dex list && dex show <id> && dex complete <id> --result "Plan confirmed"
