SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly set up an execution-ready task and launch the full agent workflow without manually coordinating planning, implementation, and quality checks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create tasks with consistent metadata: generate task identifiers (slug), set branch, priority, description, assignee, and link agent/executor/model settings.
  • Start tasks and run the workflow end-to-end: launch the start workflow that performs planning, implementation, and code quality checks.
  • Support resuming sessions: continue existing sessions for long-running work, including specifying a session id when needed.
  • Use worktrees for isolation: run tasks in a git worktree to keep changes isolated from the main branch during development.

Quick Start

Create a task titled Fix button alignment with a custom slug fix-button and immediately start it using the default workflow.

FAQPage Schema
How do I start an AI task workflow for a bug fix or feature addition?

To start an AI task workflow, provide a task title to automatically generate metadata like slug and branch, then launch the end-to-end workflow covering planning, implementation, and code quality checks.

Can I run isolated code evolution tasks using git worktree for larger developments?

Yes, you can run isolated code evolution tasks using an optional git worktree to keep changes separated from the main branch during development while maintaining consistent task metadata.

How do I resume an agent workflow session for long-running work?

You can resume an agent workflow session by specifying a session id, allowing you to continue existing long-running work seamlessly without losing previous planning or implementation progress.

What parameters can I configure when creating a task for the agent workflow?

You can configure parameters including slug, branch, priority, description, assigned agent, executor, and model when creating a task to customize the workflow execution and metadata.

Does the task workflow support CI quality checks and custom executors?

Yes, the task workflow runs CI quality checks automatically after implementation and supports configurable executors, allowing you to assign specific models and agents to execute the task.

How do I manage task management sessions with detach and resume semantics?

Task management supports start semantics including optional detach for running tasks in the background and resume functionality via session id to reconnect to previously started workflows.
