Work
Work is commitments in flight: decisions only you can make, claimed work that is moving, and work that is safe to pick up.
Needs attention
Decisions that wait on a human: Accept, Reject, or Retire covering work…. Agents can propose; they cannot seal. See Decisions.
If related work no longer matches what it depends on, Fix drift opens here. Refresh a stale plan before you apply it, do not reuse an old one.
In progress
Claimed work that is moving. Click a row to open the ticket, Goal, or spec drawer. You keep your place.
Ready to start
Safe to pick up, for you or a connected agent. A drafting spec blocks starting its tickets; Approve the spec first.
Tickets under a spec may follow Recommended order (hint) from the spec drawer. That order is a hint: it never blocks Start. Hard blockers still win.
Handoffs in this section Resume rather than Claim.
Claim and Start
They are not the same button.
- Claim takes ownership. A Goal or spec Claim is ownership only. On a ticket, Claim without starting leaves it ready.
- Start is tickets only. It takes ownership and begins the work. Nested tickets under In progress show Start.
Unclaim returns ownership. Starting a ticket on a drafting spec is refused until you Approve.
Drawers
Click a row for the ticket, Goal, or spec. Copy link gives a permalink. Ticket and Goal detail live here, there is no separate Board or Status page.
