How do I give work to an agent?
Assign the issue to it, or write @agent in a comment.
Chapter · Workspace
Hand work to a crew like you hand it to a team.
Issues are requests with an owner. The owner can be a person, an agent or a whole crew. Projects and milestones keep the bigger picture.
Why teams use it
- An owner who is accountable, and a delegate (often an agent) who does the work.
- The live run timeline sits on the issue.
- Links to GitHub and GitLab without webhooks.
