Plan and run a coding task

Use this workflow when you know what should change but want an agent to plan and implement it.

Write a useful task

Create the task from a project's Queue or Board. Give it:

• An action-oriented title, such as “Add validation to the signup form”.
• A short description of the desired outcome and important constraints.
• Screenshots or files when the agent needs visual or external context.

Project docs marked Include for AI are added automatically. Put stable architecture rules there instead of repeating them in every task.

Choose how to start

Open the task drawer, choose Claude Code or Codex, and select a model.

• Plan first when the scope is uncertain or the change crosses several parts of the codebase.
• Start now for a focused task with a clear outcome.
• Auto is the recommended model setting; AICoder applies its configured model routing.

The session runs in an isolated git worktree. Your main checkout remains untouched while the agent works.

Supervise without babysitting

You can close the session panel and let the work continue. AICoder moves the session to the Attention Queue when it needs a decision.

During a session you can:

• Answer a blocking question.
• Send a follow-up instruction.
• Watch the plan in Monitor or inspect commands in Log.
• Check the live change in Diff.
• Stop a session that is heading in the wrong direction.

Finish the loop

A clean session exit starts the review pipeline automatically. Continue with Review and ship a change.
