Work

Work is commitments in flight: decisions only you can make, claimed work that is moving, and work that is safe to pick up.

Needs attention

Decisions that wait on a human: Accept, Reject, or Retire covering work…. Agents can propose; they cannot seal. See Decisions.

Draft Goals and drafting Specs also land here as Needs your approval, grouped under their Goal. Approve or Approve all needs a signed-in human session. If something else needs your call first, Approve opens the item.

If related work no longer matches what it depends on, Out of date work shows on the spec or Goal that changed. Review changes opens from that owner. Refresh if something changed before you apply; do not reuse an old one. Open-only mismatches stay on the owner, not in this feed. SPEC-X changed after N tickets shipped can appear here. The need line is Check whether the shipped tickets still match. Review changes opens from that owner.

In progress

Claimed work that is moving. Click a row to open the ticket, Goal, or spec drawer. You keep your place.

Ready to start

Safe to pick up, for you or a connected agent. A drafting spec blocks starting its tickets; Approve the spec first.

Tickets under a spec may follow Recommended order (hint) from the spec drawer. That order is a hint: it never blocks Start. Hard blockers still win.

Handoffs in this section Resume rather than Claim.

Claim and Start

They are not the same button.

Claim takes ownership. A Goal or spec Claim is ownership only. On a ticket, Claim without starting leaves it ready.
Start is tickets only. It takes ownership and begins the work. Nested tickets under In progress show Start.

Unclaim returns ownership. Starting a ticket on a drafting spec is refused until you Approve.
