Creating a task

You can create a task from the web app instead of Slack when you have attachments to include or you want to write a longer description without cluttering a channel.

Open the new-task dialog

Click New task in the sidebar. A dialog opens — you don't navigate to a separate page.

Fill in the form

The dialog has two required fields and an optional attachments area:

• Start task in — pick the Space this task belongs to. Spaces that haven't been configured with a Git repository are disabled with the label link a code repo first.
• What do you want to do? — describe the task in plain language, the way you'd describe it to a teammate. Be specific: instead of "fix the bug," write "fix the date picker on the orders page that returns the wrong year for dates in December."
• Attachments (optional) — click the paperclip to attach files. You can add images (including pasted screenshots), PDFs, text/JSON, zip, and Office files (.docx, .xlsx, .pptx). Each file shows up as a chip — click ✕ to remove one.

You can paste a screenshot directly into the description field; it attaches automatically.

Submit

Click Start task, or press Cmd+Enter (Ctrl+Enter on Windows/Linux) from inside the description field.

Once you submit:

1. The task is created with status New and you're taken to the task details page.
2. Andy starts planning right away — within a few seconds. The Activity tab updates as Andy works.

There's no separate "queue" — the task moves into planning immediately.

What happens next

After Andy finishes planning, the task moves to Needs plan approval and you'll see a Review button on both the task details page and your Tasks list. Approve the plan to let Andy start coding — see Task details for the full lifecycle.
