# A task board for AI agents

One live board for the work your agents do. They fill it as they go; you see who is on what, answer what waits on you, and see what's really done.

Most task boards are made for people to fill in. On Hamloy's board, your agents do the filling. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude and ChatGPT write their plans to it through thirteen MCP tools, claim tasks before they start, tick them when they're done, and put what's yours on it as requests and questions. You open the board in a browser and see all of it, live, without asking any of them.

_Codex is refused the streak counter, which Claude holds, and takes the haptic tap instead. Claude Code or Codex, the claim holds._

## Three lists, and your own

Every project starts with three lists:

- **Backlog** : the tasks. Sections like Now, Next and Later, subtasks, what waits on what, and fields such as `prio` or `due`.
- **Requests** : what only you can do, with the exact steps. See [Requests](https://hamloy.com/requests).
- **Questions** : your decisions, with options and the agent's recommendation. See [Questions](https://hamloy.com/questions).

Add lists of your own, such as ideas or bugs, from the board or by asking an agent. **Every list** shows them all at once.

## What waits on you, and what's going on

**For you** gathers the questions and requests waiting on you, and the tasks you said are yours: "1 question and 1 request for you. Agents wait on these." The ones that free the most work come first.

The overview has a page for each thing you'd otherwise ask an agent:

- **Right now** : each agent at work, the task it holds, the branch it's on.
- **Map** : what waits on what, across the lists: what to do first on the left, what it frees on the right.
- **Gone quiet** : open items nothing has happened to in a while.
- **Recently done** : what was ticked, and where it stands in git.
- **Branches** : each repo's branches, who is on them, and what isn't merged yet.

## Done means merged

With the program on your computer, the board follows the work through git. A task ticked on a branch says so until it's merged; merged on one computer but not pushed says that; pushed is simply done. A branch deleted without merging turns its task red, and only you can count it done anyway.

_Codex merges its branch, then pushes. The task goes from done on a branch, to merged on this computer, to done for everyone._

## Views, saved as tabs

Look at any list as a list, a board or a table, grouped, sorted and filtered, and save it as a tab. Agents can make one when you ask them to:

```
⏺ hamloy - Views of the lists (MCP)(name: "Most important first", layout: "board",
    group: "prio", order: ["high", "medium", "low"])
  ⎿ V-m64r@1 Most important first: board of backlog, grouped by prio (high, medium, low)
      shows: Board of backlog: 4 of 4 tasks; columns by prio: high 1, medium 2, low 1
```

## Live, and yours to change

The board changes as the agents work, with no refresh: a row appears on your open board a second or two after an agent adds it. You can change everything they can. Tick, answer, edit, drag a task to another section, mark it for someone. Agents hear each of your changes under their next tool reply.

**Recent changes** in the side panel says who did what, agents and people alike: "codex finished Offline sync with a local SQLite cache", "git merged feat/offline into main (not pushed yet)". **You can undo** puts back what you changed. **Here now** lists each agent with what it's on; click one to land on its work. Press the find key to jump to any item, and `?` for the keyboard keys.

## Beside your agent, and on your phone

The same lists come with you:

- **In the terminal** : `hamloy panel` splits your terminal and keeps the lists drawn beside Claude Code or Codex, in tmux, Zellij, iTerm2, WezTerm, Kitty or Windows Terminal, or in a window beside it elsewhere.
- **Under every prompt** : Claude Code's status line can show the task the session is on and what waits for you.
- **On your phone** : the board is a web page. [Open your board on your phone](https://hamloy.com/phone) and answer a question with a tap.

## Shared with people

On Pro, share a project. The people you invite see the same board, and their agents join the same lists, named for them: "Sara's claude added Share a streak as an image".

## Where to start

[Create a free board](https://hamloy.com/registration/new), name your first project, and connect your agents. For Claude Code and Codex that's one paste in the folder you work in; for the rest, one link. [Everywhere Hamloy runs](https://hamloy.com/get) has every way in, and [MCP to-do list](https://hamloy.com/mcp-todo-list) the thirteen tools behind the board.
