For engineering teams
Keep engineering work clear from report to resolution.
A bug gets a key, an owner, a sprint and a history the whole team can read. Developers work from the keyboard, leads plan from the backlog and the board, and an AI agent reads the same issue through documented tools, as the person who connected it.

ACME-12 is Fixed, resolved 8 Oct 2026, 4:40pm, with 1h 45m spent of 2h. ACME-4, which it depended on, is Fixed too. The decision record Invitation links and expiry references it.

Every call here reads; nothing changed. Had Alex asked for a change, it would be made as @alex, within Alex’s role and token.
Hand-drawn product views with fictional data. The tracker never writes to your repository: nothing here changes code, opens a pull request or deploys.
Fixed once, and it shows everywhere.
The sprint chart and the decision record read the same ACME-12. Nobody updates a report or edits a wiki page to say the bug is gone.

Invitation links and expiry
Invitation links expire after seven days (INVITE_TTL_DAYS). An expired link must explain itself and offer a new one. A blank page or a redirect to sign-in is a bug.
Decided 2 Oct 2026. The expiry message is shown on the invitation landing page itself, before any sign-in prompt. See resolved issue ACME-12 for the first instance.

Less to set up, less to click.
Engineers spend the day in the issue, not in the tracker’s settings. The keyboard reaches the common moves, the names are the ones people already say, and permissions come in five fixed roles.
The keyboard first

Names you can say out loud
The app, the search bar and the agent’s tools take the same names. No UUID is ever required input.
ACME-12Issue keys count up from 1 and never skip; acme-12 finds it too.
@alexPeople by username, in comments, queries and agent calls.
In ProgressStatuses, priorities and sprints by name, not by ID.
assignee: @alex sprint: {Sprint 08} status: {In Progress}
Five roles, already decided
No role editor, no permission schemes, no transition rules: any status can follow any status.
- Observer
- Reads issues, boards and articles. Changes nothing.
- Contributor
- Files, edits, links, comments, logs time and moves issues into sprints.
- Project Admin
- Also plans, starts and finishes sprints and shapes boards, statuses and fields.
- Org Admin
- Project Admin on every project, plus people and settings.
- Org Owner
- Everything an Org Admin can, plus transferring ownership.
The agent works as you, never around you.
Every write an agent makes happens under the token of the person who connected it, with that person’s permissions. It can never do more than their role allows, the token’s scopes can narrow it further, and each change lands in the activity log under their name.
The MCP server calls the same public API as the web app. Deleting something, or taking away someone’s access, stops and asks the person in their agent app before anything happens.
Scopes a developer’s token might hold
issues:read- Read projects, issues, members, and search
issues:write- Create and change issues, tags, links, files and shared saved views
comments:write- Comment
time:write- Log time
A refusal is real. When the role allows an action but the token does not, the answer names the missing scope:
This access token does not have the time:write scope
The tool reference marks each tool Reads only or Changes data, so a team can decide which scopes an agent gets before it connects.
It tracks the work, and it reads your repository.
Connect GitHub or GitLab and the issue shows the branches and pull requests that name it, with a badge on the board and a rule that can close it on merge. It reads and never writes back, and deployment data is not built in today.
A good fit for
- Engineering teams that file bugs, plan sprints and follow a board in one project or several.
- Developers who would rather press s than hunt for a status menu, and say ACME-12 instead of pasting a link.
- Teams that want an AI agent to read and update the tracker as the person who connected it, and no further.
From your repository
- Branches, commits and pull requests that name ACME-12 show on ACME-12, with review and CI state.
- A badge on list rows and board cards: Merged, CI failing, Changes requested, In review and more.
- Automations that move the issue when a branch is pushed, a pull request opens or the fix merges.
Not built today
- Deployment data. Nothing reports what is released where; Fixed means someone, or a merge rule, set it to Fixed.
- Writing back to GitHub or GitLab. No comments on pull requests, no commit statuses.
Questions engineering teams ask.
About Git, agents, setup and the keyboard. Short answers here, the rest in the manual.
Does it connect to our Git repository?
Yes, GitHub and GitLab, including GitHub Enterprise and self-managed GitLab. Name the issue in a branch, a commit message or a pull request and the issue shows that work, with its review and CI state. Automations can move the status when a pull request opens or merges. The connection only reads; deployment status is not built. GitHub and GitLab
Can an agent change issues without anyone knowing?
No. An agent connects with a personal access token, acts as the person who created it and can never do more than their role allows; the token’s scopes can narrow that further. Every change it makes is in the activity log under that person’s name. Deleting something, or changing roles and access, stops and asks the person in their agent app first. MCP tool reference
Do we have to design a workflow and roles before the first sprint?
No. A new project starts with statuses, priorities and types, and there are no transition rules: any status can follow any status. There are five built-in roles and no permission schemes to maintain. A Project Admin edits the lists when the team needs to. Permissions
Can developers work without the mouse?
Mostly. c creates an issue, / focuses search, g then b opens the board, a and s open the assignee and status pickers on an issue, and ⌘ ↵ or Ctrl ↵ submits a comment. On the board and the backlog, Space picks up a card, the arrow keys move it and Space drops it. Press ? on any page for the full list. Keyboard shortcuts
What does the standup summary read, and does it change anything?
It searches the issues you updated since yesterday and the ones still assigned to you, reads their history for status moves, comments and time, and lists your unread mentions, assignments and due dates. It changes nothing and marks nothing read, so a token with issues:read is enough. MCP and AI agents
What does it cost an engineering team?
Nothing during beta, for any team size. The first 20 members of every organisation stay free once billing exists. We will give notice before charging for seats beyond that; nothing is priced today. Pricing
Put your next bug through it.
Join the beta, create a project and file the bug you are working on now. Statuses, priorities, a board and five roles are ready; connect an agent when you want one.
