Kanban — task board
The Kanban board is Headmaster’s visual task management surface. It shows work items as cards organized in columns, letting you and the agent track progress on multi-step tasks.What it is
The Kanban board is a shared task board between you and the agent. The agent creates cards as it breaks down a task, moves them across columns as it works, and marks them done when complete. You can also create cards manually and the agent will pick them up.Columns
You can customize the columns — add, rename, reorder, or remove them to match your workflow.
Creating a card
Manually
Click Add card in any column. Type a title and description. The agent sees it and can pick it up.
From chat
When you give the agent a complex task, it breaks it into subtasks and creates cards automatically. Each card links back to the conversation.
Card details
Each card shows:- Title — short description of the task.
- Status — which column it’s in.
- Assignee — which specialist is working on it (or “unassigned”).
- Labels — color-coded tags for categorization.
- Due date — optional deadline.
- Links — links to the conversation and any files the agent created.
Drag and drop
Drag cards between columns to change their status. The agent respects the board state:- Move a card back to Backlog → the agent stops working on it.
- Move a card to Review → the agent knows it’s waiting for your sign-off.
