Backlog & review.
Two surfaces run the whole show: a board that holds the work, and a queue that holds everything the work needs from you.
01Ideas, epics, tasks
The backlog tracks three kinds of entity, linked by lineage:
- Ideas — raw input. Yours, typed straight onto the board, or captured by a flow.
- Epics — the grouping layer Planner adds when an idea is big enough to need one.
- Tasks — the executable unit. Every task knows its parent epic and originating idea, so you can always trace a diff back to the idea that caused it.
Flows read from and write to this same board — there are no side files or parallel to-do lists. What Planner produces is exactly what Sprint consumes.
02Board stages
The board keeps stages deliberately few:
When an idea’s plan is approved, the idea itself retires from the board (internally, Decomposed) — its tasks are the live representation from then on. No zombie cards.
03Working the board
- Open it from the Task backlog item in the left rail.
- Switch between Kanban and List views; the board spans all your projects, with a project filter.
- Add work by hand with New Task, move cards between stages, and archive or delete what you’re done with.
04The review queue
Human review in the left rail — with a live pending count — is the one inbox for every running agent across every project. Cyboflow pauses Claude when it needs to take an action; the request lands here, and the agent waits for your answer. Four kinds of item arrive:
The point of the queue: you launch the next agent the moment one unblocks, instead of babysitting each run in its own window.
