Agent-first task management for codebases. Designed for AI agents working alongside humans.
- Pull over push: Agents query when needed, no constant context injections
- Parallel-safe: Per-file locking for multiple agents working simultaneously
- Minimal context: Only load what's needed for the current task
- Human-readable: Markdown files with YAML frontmatter, editable by hand
- Git-friendly: One file per task means clean diffs and fewer merge conflicts
