Work with the Agile Board

← Back to Documentation

The Agile Board is the center of AutoPilot. It is where you define and track the work the AI agents do, turning each item you add into actionable work that the agents pick up and complete.

What you can add

The board accepts the kinds of work you would normally manage in a development backlog:

  • Tasks
  • Bugs
  • Refactors
  • Tests
  • Docs

Writing a good task

The way you describe a task directly affects how well the agents handle it. For best results, include:

  • A clear title.
  • A goal that explains what the task should achieve.
  • Acceptance criteria that define when the task is done.
  • The files or areas involved, if you already know them.
Note: Clearer tasks produce better results. The more precise your goal and acceptance criteria, the more reliably the agents deliver what you expect.

Columns / statuses

Work moves across the board through a simple flow. Each item starts in To Do, moves to In Progress while the agents are actively working on it, advances to Review once a result is ready to be checked, and ends in Done when it is complete and accepted.

How AutoPilot runs the loop

Once a task is ready, AutoPilot runs it through a repeatable loop using the connected agents. See Connect Claude and Connect Codex for setup.

  1. Codex reviews and plans the task.
  2. Claude develops the work.
  3. AutoPilot checks the result.
  4. Codex reviews the changes.
  5. Tests and build run.
  6. The task moves forward, advancing its status or returning for fixes.

All tasks completed

When the board has no remaining active work, AutoPilot reports that all tasks are completed and the loop pauses. It stays paused until you add more work to the board.

Daily task count indicator

The board shows an indicator that tracks how much work has run and how much is currently active:

Indicator Meaning
Today N/10 Free plan: daily task capacity limit of 10.
Today N/∞ Pro plan: unlimited daily capacity.
Total The active tickets currently on the board, excluding items already archived or approved.

For details on plan differences and capacity, see Free vs Pro and Plan and license.
