Tasks and the Taskboard

See what needs attention, keep instructions with the work, and continue a task from its latest result.

Summary

When several requests are in flight, it is easy to lose track of what is waiting and what needs your decision. Tasks keep the request, owner and progress together in your project. The Taskboard gives you board, list and calendar views so you can find the next piece of work, open its details and continue from the right result.

Key points

  • Keep the goal with the work. A task description preserves the source and expected outcome so you can return without reconstructing the request.
  • See the project from a useful angle. Board organizes stages, list supports sorting, and calendar brings dated work into view.
  • Turn progress into a next action. Open blocked or review-ready work, supply the missing decision, and inspect the result before closing the task.

Current Denker Taskboard with mock tasks across all six columns.

Give a website update a clear finishing point

Suppose you are preparing a new FAQ section for a website. Ask Denker for a draft based on the current product note and name the questions it should answer. The task now has a source and a result you can recognize.

Open the task from the board to read its description. Select the title or description to refine it. When product information changes, explain which detail changed and what the next draft should use.

Find the work that needs you next

Use Display on the Taskboard to choose Board, List or Calendar. Board shows Backlog, Todo, In Progress, Blocked, In Review and Done. List can sort by priority, due date, creation, status or agent. Use filters to focus on the part of the project you need.

Open a task to set its Priority or choose an available Status action. Assignee can identify you or an available agent where your setup supports it. Some coding sessions keep their existing assignee.

  1. Open the task and read its goal and source.
  2. Choose a layout and filters that show the work you need.
  3. Use the task details to adjust priority, owner or an available status.
  4. Return to the task’s conversation to clarify the request and inspect its output.

Continue from the result

If the FAQ draft is blocked on a product decision, provide that answer in the ongoing conversation. When it is ready for review, compare the answers with the product note and request changes to specific passages.

Move the task through its available stages as the work develops. If a move is refused, choose an allowed action in the task details. The board illustration uses fictional tasks so you can explore the layout before using your own project.
