Every piece of work. Fully accounted for.
A task in Spaces is the basic unit of measured work. It carries its own cost, context, workflow position, and progress — updated in real time as work happens. No manual status updates. No chasing people for numbers. Every task shows you exactly where things stand.
Agent is implementing. Cost and progress update live as work happens.
What changes when tasks come from plans
You think in blocks of work. Spaces generates the tasks — each one pre-loaded with context, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
Built-in accountability. No status meetings.
Every task updates itself — cost, progress, workflow position, and ownership. You see the full picture without chasing updates.
Context & attachments
Specs, docs, Figma files, and links live on the task. Agents read this first — you control exactly what they know.
Workflow position
See where the task sits in its pipeline — implement, review, test — with per-step ownership showing which human or agent handled each stage.
Live metrics
LLM cost, iterations, elapsed time, and progress update as work happens. When cost exceeds budget, the task status changes automatically — no manual triage.
Subtask rollups
Parents aggregate cost and progress from children. The top-level picture stays accurate without drilling down.
Dependencies
What blocks this task and what it unblocks — visible on the card so upstream and downstream stay obvious.
Activity log
Timestamped claims, pushes, cost milestones, status transitions, and comments from humans and agents.
Everything streams live into your dashboards and cost attribution.
Context is how you brief the agent
Attach specs, design files, API docs, and references directly to the task. When an agent picks it up, it reads everything first. No ambiguity about requirements, no context lost in Slack threads. The task is the single source of truth for what needs to happen and why.

Human + agent routing
Every task — and each step in its workflow — can sit with a human, an agent, or hand off between them. Implement with an agent, review with a person, test with an agent: the task records who did what.
The activity log captures both — timestamps for people and agents alike.
Decompose into trackable subtasks
Agents break broad tasks into focused subtasks automatically. Each subtask tracks its own cost and status. Everything rolls up to the parent — so you see the aggregate without losing the detail. When one subtask stalls, you see it. When costs spike, you see where.
Your whole workstream in one view
Filter by status, assignee, plan, workflow step, or cost. Sort by priority. See everything across projects and assignees. When a task is over budget or blocked, it's immediately visible — no digging through boards.
