Kanban Board
The Kanban board is your main interface for managing tasks. It displays the five active workflow columns: Inbox, Todo, Hold, Ready, and Done.
Task Statuses
| Status | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Inbox | New tasks waiting for planning | Agent should run preq_plan_task to move to Todo |
| Todo | Planned and ready for agents | Agent can start work with preq_start_task |
| Hold | Blocked or paused | Agent or user resolves the blocker, then retries |
| Ready | Implementation submitted for verification | You review and run preq_review_task to move to Done |
| Done | Task verified and complete | Archive or reopen if needed |
Archived tasks are hidden from the active board and handled through manual archive actions.
