Tasks

Each project has a lightweight task tracker in the right panel — designed for capture speed, not ceremony.

Capturing and editing

  • Type into Capture a task… and press Enter.
  • Click a title to edit it inline.
  • Click the status chip to move it through draft → todo → in progress → ready for review → done.
  • Hover a card and click the trash icon to delete (with an inline confirm).

Board views

Toggle List / Board for a per-project kanban:

The per-project board view

The expand button opens the full board — every project as a swim-lane, with drag-and-drop between status columns and between projects:

The all-projects board

From task to worktree

Press the ▶ button on any unlinked task to open New Worktree pre-filled and pre-linked: the branch name comes from the task title, and once created the task shows a link to its worktree. Finish the work, mark the task done, delete the worktree — the full loop lives in one panel.

Tasks for agents

Agents see the same board through the orbital CLI:

Terminal window
orbital task add "Fix cart badge count" --description "Badge shows items, not quantity"
orbital task list
# ID STATUS TITLE
# f907b669 in_progress Add checkout flow
# cfff155f todo Fix cart badge count
orbital task update f907 --status ready-for-review
orbital task done cfff

IDs accept unique prefixes, so agents can pipe task list output straight back into task update. A well-briefed agent files discovered work instead of drifting scope, and marks its own task ready for review when it stops.
