Topics
To-dos & plans
Each topic has a to-do list. Every item says why it is on the list, who has it, and — once it is closed — what was decided or done. The topic manager adds and updates items as the discussion moves; people add the rest.
Add one
On the To-do tab, Add an item… takes a title and a line on why it’s on the list and what done looks like. Or just say it in the discussion — “@Topic manager add a to-do to update the onboarding screenshots, due Friday” — and the topic manager files it.
Work with an item
| On a row | What it does |
|---|---|
| Checkbox | Close it. You are asked what was decided or done — add the pull request if there is one. |
| Assign | Give it to someone in the topic, or unassign it. |
| Due date | Set or clear it. Due dates appear on the Plans calendar. |
| Heading | File it under a heading (or create one). Drag rows to re-file them. |
⋯ → Edit | Change the title, the why, who has it, its heading or due date. |
⋯ → Add a step | A smaller item under it, one level deep. |
⋯ → Branch off from this | When it needs its own conversation. See Branching off. |
⋯ → Delete this item | Removes it. |

The to-do window
Click an item to open it: the full why, what was done, who has it, when it is due and when it last changed. Under Progress, write where it stands, mark it On track, At risk or Blocked, and press Log update. Updates also arrive from coding sessions and from the topic manager, each labelled with where it came from. A closed item can be reopened.
In a message, # links a to-do; clicking the link opens this window.
My to-dos
My to-dos in the sidebar lists everything assigned to you in this organization, open and done, each linking to its topic. Its Prompt button copies a ready-made instruction for your coding agent to pick up your to-dos — see MCP.
Plans — checks on a schedule
A topic can check back on itself: “every weekday at 5, ask the repo agent what changed and tell us what matters”. At that time the topic manager reads the room first and stays quiet if it’s already been handled.
Add a check
- On the Plans tab, Add a follow-up: what the manager should check, when, and whether it repeats (once, every day, weekdays, weekly).
- Or say it in the discussion and the topic manager schedules it.
- Any member can Snooze, Resume or Cancel a check.
The calendar
Switch to Calendar for a day, week, month or agenda view of checks, to-do due dates, meetings and logged progress. Click an empty slot to add a check there. Times are shown in Indian Standard Time (IST).
