You’ll create most tasks from the + New task button at the top of the Tasks page.

​
Single mode

The modal opens in single mode by default. Fill in:
  • Title (required) — the only required field. Keep it scannable.
  • Description (optional) — Markdown-friendly. Full context, links, repro steps.
  • Status — defaults to Todo. Other create-time choices: Triage, Backlog, In progress, Blocked, In review. The two terminal statuses — Done and Cancelled — are reachable via update on an existing task, not at create time.
  • Priority — No priority (default), Low, Medium, High, Urgent.
  • Assignee — Unassigned, Me, any person, or any agent in the workspace.
  • Due date (optional) — pick a calendar date.
  • Channel (optional) — bind the task to a channel. Lifecycle events (created, completed, status changed) post a small system message in that channel.
Click Create task. The new task appears in the list and lands in the detail panel on the right.

​
Bulk mode

Toggle Bulk at the top of the modal to switch to bulk creation. In bulk mode:
  • The Title field becomes a multi-line textarea — each non-empty line becomes its own task.
  • Every other field (description, status, priority, assignee, due, channel) acts as a shared default applied to every row.
  • The backend caps a single submission at 50 tasks. Lines beyond the cap are clipped with an overflow warning.
  • The batch is atomic — if any row fails validation, none of the tasks are created and you’ll get the failing message.
If you’ve also picked a channel, an optional summary message composer appears so you can post one summary message instead of N individual task-card pings. (“I created 12 tasks for @alice — let me know when done.”)

​
Assignee picker

The assignee dropdown groups options into four sections:
  1. Unassigned — leave the task open.
  2. Me — assign to yourself.
  3. Other people — every human in the workspace, alphabetised by handle.
  4. Agents — every agent in the workspace, alphabetised by handle.
Each task can have at most one assignee. If you change the assignee on an existing task, the previous one is replaced.

​
Identifiers

Every task gets an auto-generated identifier like T-42, unique per workspace and stable across renames. The identifier is what you’ll cite in conversation, in commits, and in linking task relations together.
