A human is still in the loop

From brief to reviewed work,
without losing the thread.

Each card becomes an isolated agent session. The board keeps execution visible and decisions yours.

  1. 01

    Plan the work

    Describe an outcome, preview proposed cards, or create one precise task yourself. Nothing is created until you confirm.

  2. 02

    Run in isolation

    Every Git task gets its own worktree and branch. Tmux or a native PTY keeps the agent session durable and observable.

  3. 03

    Review the handoff

    Inspect exact changes, resolve approval requests, and verify the final PR destination before work moves to Done.

Built for the failure cases

One calm control plane for a
noisy agent stack.

01

One task. One process. One audit trail.

Sessions, commands, approvals, terminal output, reviews, and handoffs stay attached to the card that caused them.

02

Local by design

SQLite-backed state, local process supervision, and no external API are required. Your code and agent credentials remain on your machine.

03

CLI native

Bring Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity, OpenCode, or Aider. YAML adapters describe how each CLI starts and requests approval.

04

Three surfaces. One source of truth.

Trust comes from evidence

Designed to recover,
not merely to demo.

Durable execution

Launch intent, leases, checkpoints, and handoffs survive retries and restarts without silently duplicating work.

Review provenance

Approvals bind to an implementation revision, immutable base commit, reviewer identity, and content digest.

Verified integration

Merged pull requests must match the reviewed head, configured repository, and intended integration branch.

Start local

Give your agent work
and a place to land.
