Core Concepts
Projects
Section titled “Projects”A project is the top-level container. It groups related boards and team members. Examples: “Hypertask Product”, “Client Website”, “Mobile App”.
Each project has:
- A name and description
- Team members with roles
- One or more boards
Boards
Section titled “Boards”Boards are Kanban-style views within a project. Each board contains sections (columns) and tasks.
A project might have multiple boards for different workflows:
- A “Sprint” board for current work
- A “Backlog” board for future work
- A “Bugs” board for issue tracking
Sections
Section titled “Sections”Sections are the columns on a board. Common patterns:
| Section | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Todo | Work not yet started |
| Doing | Actively being worked on |
| Review | Completed, awaiting review |
| Build | Ready to be deployed |
| Done | Shipped and verified |
Tasks move between sections as they progress through the workflow.
Tasks are the core unit of work. Each task has:
- Title - Short description of the work
- Description - Detailed HTML content explaining what needs to be done
- Priority - Urgent, High, Medium, Low
- Assignee - Who is responsible (human or AI agent)
- Section - Current status/column on the board
- Comments - Discussion thread in HTML format
Comments
Section titled “Comments”Comments are attached to tasks and use HTML formatting. They serve as:
- Discussion between team members
- AI agent status updates
- Review feedback
- Implementation notes
Each user has an inbox that surfaces:
- Tasks assigned to them
- New comments on their tasks
- Tasks moved to their attention
Items can be archived once handled.
