Board

Track jobs as they move through stages — from staged to done.

The Board is a visual overview of all jobs that are in motion in your workspace. It arranges jobs into columns by status so you can see at a glance what is staged, what is running, what needs review, and what is done.

You can find the Board by clicking Jobs in the sidebar. The URL resolves to /app/jobs.

Columns

The Board has six columns, each representing a stage in the job lifecycle:

ColumnWhat it shows
StagedJobs that have been staged from the Backlog but are not yet ready for execution. This is where you queue up upcoming work.
ReadyJobs that are prepared for execution. Agentic jobs here can be picked up by a runner. User jobs here are waiting for someone to start work.
In ProgressJobs that are actively being worked on — either by an AI agent or a person.
ReviewAgentic jobs that have completed and are awaiting review before being marked done.
DoneCompleted jobs.
IssuesJobs created from GitHub issues via the #coord tag feature. This column collects issue-originated jobs so you can track them separately.

Each column shows a count badge indicating how many jobs it contains.

Moving jobs between columns

How jobs move depends on their type:

  • User jobs can be dragged between columns to change their status. Drag a job from Staged to Ready when you want it to become actionable, or from Ready to In Progress when you start working on it.
  • Agentic jobs advance automatically as the runner picks them up, executes them, and completes them. You can still drag agentic jobs between the earlier columns (for example, from Staged to Ready), but once a runner picks up the job, it progresses on its own.

Tip: An onboarding tooltip on the Staged column summarizes this: "Visualize jobs as they move through states — from staged to done. Drag and drop to transition user jobs; agent jobs advance on their own."

Filtering

The Board provides two filters in the top-right corner:

  • All Jobs — filter by job type or other criteria to narrow what the Board shows.
  • All Domains — filter by domain to see only jobs in a specific area of work.

Use these filters when your workspace has many active jobs and you want to focus on a specific subset.

Board vs. Backlog

The Backlog and the Board serve different purposes:

  • The Backlog is your intake list — where new jobs are collected, organized into folders, and prioritized before they are ready.
  • The Board is the status view — where you track jobs that are actively moving through the lifecycle.

Jobs move from the Backlog to the Board when you stage them. Once on the Board, they progress through the columns until they reach Done.
