Tasks, Kanban, and Inbox

Track to-dos, delegate work to agents, and find conversations that need your attention.

Inbox, Kanban, Tasks to-dos and delegation are available in Stable 1.0.1. A to-do is something you want done; a chat is the conversation where an agent works on it.

Add and delegate a to-do

Open Tasks and add a title. Select the item to open its card and edit its note, project, priority, and due date. Tasks can exist without a project or agent.

Select a provider, model, effort, and project or folder first. To reuse a chat, select it under More options. Then press Start to delegate immediately. The agent receives the current title and note. The item follows the chat's state: running, needs you, ready for review, or failed. Its card shows recent activity, pending approval controls, and the latest reply. Review the result before marking the to-do done.

Use the List / Kanban switch to change views; Karmas Coder remembers the selection.

Use the attention board

Kanban's Attention view groups chat cards into Draft, In Progress, Awaiting you, and Done. Approvals, unanswered questions, failures, and stalled work surface in Awaiting you. Classic retains the three-column layout. Review status depends on a live-confirmed open pull request in a dedicated worktree.

Choose Send as goal on a draft to start it with a persistent goal. Long goals use managed file references rather than being silently shortened. Goals can contain up to 120,000 characters; larger input is rejected. The regular chat permissions and goal controls still apply.

Agents can inspect and operate durable Kanban cards through the Agent Gateway, scoped to their ordinary project. Local unsent composer drafts remain client-only. Kanban tools manage chat cards; the separate to-do tools maintain Tasks records.

Start the day in Inbox

Inbox brings together running chats, work needing attention, review requests, and recently finished work beside a recap of your agent activity. The working day starts at 4am. Recaps use recorded local activity and available provider-attributed usage; missing telemetry is not invented.

In Stable and Beta, Inbox also shows due and overdue Tasks to-dos. Adding a task makes it due on today's calendar date; All tasks opens the full backlog. These controls are available in Stable and Beta.

In Stable and Beta, select an Inbox task to use the same editing and delegation card as Tasks. Use its attention groups to decide which approval, question, failure, or finished result to inspect next. A finished agent turn is a review opportunity, not proof the requested work is correct.

See Hubs when several workers need shared instructions, memory, and one coordinator.

Maintain to-dos from a chat

In 1.0.2 Stable and Beta, supported sessions can use synara_create_todo, synara_list_todos and synara_update_todo to maintain the same list. Ask the agent to record a task for later, set its notes, priority, calendar due date or project, mark it complete or reopen it. Creating a to-do does not create a chat or start an agent; use Start to delegate it.

Writes require an active caller turn and the thread's write capability. A create request uses a stable requestId so retrying does not add a duplicate. Listing returns at most 200 items and reports truncation; list notes are previews of up to 500 characters. Selecting a to-do by ID returns its full notes. No delete tool is exposed.
