Autopilot

Autopilot mode tells the agent to pick up tasks from the Kanban board and execute them without waiting for you. Toggle it on in the Tasks section of the left sidebar.

How it works

1. The agent picks the highest-priority task from Todo
2. Moves it to In Progress
3. Works on it autonomously
4. Moves it to Done on success, or back to Todo on failure
5. Picks the next task and repeats

Concurrency and pressure

Autopilot respects the pressure system to avoid overloading your machine:

Writing good task descriptions

The agent uses the task description as its prompt. Specificity matters:

• Vague: "Fix bugs" — agent doesn't know which bugs or where
• Specific: "Fix login form validation — empty email fields should show an inline error" — agent knows exactly what to do

Getting the best results

Watch the first few tasks to verify the agent understands your codebase. Use memory to teach it project conventions so subsequent autopilot runs improve over time.
