Clear task briefs
Task contracts
Every task defines scope, non-goals, tools, constraints, acceptance criteria, and approval rules before anyone starts.

Human task tracking with agent execution control
Plan work like Linear. Govern it like a production system. Give agents the context, permissions, approvals, and evidence requirements they need to safely complete software tasks.
Jira, Azure DevOps, and Linear track work for humans. buildr-plannr prepares work so AI agents can safely execute it.
Start now
Create the workspace first, prove one real workflow, then open checkout after email verification.
Not sure yet? Run the 60-second fit check.
Why not Jira, Linear, or Azure DevOps?
A rough ticket can work for a human. An agent needs the exact goal, the files to read, what it may change, who must approve, and what proof counts as Done.
Get one real task running in 10 minutes.
Minute 1
Use free signup, create the workspace, and keep the default workflow for the first task.
Proof: No sales call, migration, or admin setup is required before the first useful task.
Minute 3
Add title, owner, status, expected completion date, tags, and the simplest useful view.
Proof: Users can start as a normal tracker before adding agent briefs or proof rules.
Minute 7
If an AI agent will touch code, data, environments, or customers, add scope, policy, approvals, and Done proof.
Proof: Admins tighten only risky work instead of forcing every task into a heavy workflow.
Why not Jira, Linear, or Azure DevOps?
Every risky task carries scope, files, allowed actions, approvals, run limits, and proof before Done.

Agents will touch code, data, tickets, or customers.
Pilot when
You need one real task and one safe handoff first.
Wait when
Work is human-only and your tracker already feels clear.
What agents need that trackers do not
Keep Jira, Linear, or Azure DevOps as records if needed. Use buildr-plannr when the work must be safe for AI execution.
Task contracts
Every task defines scope, non-goals, tools, constraints, acceptance criteria, and approval rules before anyone starts.
Context packs
Agents get the right files, docs, links, architecture notes, incidents, and prior decisions before execution.
Execution policy
Owners control what agents can do, where they can act, which tools they may use, and when approval is required.
Evidence-based Done
Work is not complete until tests, logs, screenshots, PRs, and risk notes are attached and accepted.
Agent queues
Ready work is prioritized by readiness, blockers, permissions, and run quota instead of status alone.
Commercial control
Usage limits, plans, billing, audit history, exports, and enterprise controls are built around agent work.

Why this beats a human-only tracker
Your current tracker stores requests. buildr-plannr turns each risky request into a clear brief with the right files, allowed actions, approval rules, run limits, and proof requirements before an AI agent touches code, data, or customer-impacting systems.
A ticket is a record. A safe agent task is an execution handoff with guardrails.
Clear task brief
Product term: Task contracts
Goal, non-goals, acceptance criteria, constraints, and owner approval are defined before work starts.
Files and docs
Product term: Context packs
Files, docs, links, architecture notes, and prior decisions are packaged for the agent.
Allowed actions
Product term: Execution policy
Admins decide which tools, repos, environments, data, and changes are permitted.
Proof before Done
Product term: Evidence-based Done
Done needs tests, logs, screenshots, PRs, risk notes, or reviewer acceptance attached.
Ready work queue
Product term: Agent queues
Humans and agents pick work by readiness, blockers, approvals, permissions, and run quota.
Agent run controls
Product term: Commercial control
Admins see who can run agents, how much they can use, what plans allow, and what needs approval.
The simple purchase test
If agents will touch work, buy the system that prepares the work before execution and proves it before Done.

What you get on day one
You can run a simple task workspace, a ready work queue with approvals and proof, or both in the same workspace.
For users
Create tasks, add tags and statuses, switch between Cards, List, and tag buckets, then add swimlanes when the work needs structure.
For admins
Configure swimlanes, roles, permissions, reminders, approval rules, agent scopes, and proof requirements without an implementation project.
For agents
Agents receive the goal, scope, files, docs, allowed tools, blocked actions, verification commands, and proof required before Done.
Typical tracker ticket
Agent action: blocked until a human rewrites the work.
buildr-plannr clear task brief
Agent action: safe to claim after approval and quota checks pass.
Admin control without extra setup support
The product should not force a methodology. Admins decide how work flows, which controls apply, and how strict the handoff needs to be.
Create the statuses and swimlanes your team actually uses: backlog, triage, in progress, review, blocked, done, or your own language.
Use Cards, List, tag buckets, and swimlane/status buckets with saved filters for owner, due date, readiness, priority, and agent state.
Give admins, members, viewers, and agent identities different access without handing over the whole workspace.
Warn when work has no owner, no expected completion date, stale status, missing proof, or unresolved approval.
Control which tools agents can use, when humans must approve, and which actions require proof before acceptance.
Manage plans, run limits, API access, exports, audit history, billing signals, and enterprise admin controls from the same product.
Real product screens
The generated media tells the story, but these are captured from the authenticated product: the planner, list and tag views, ready work queues, the admin control center, remote MCP setup, and operational diagnostics.

Actual app screen
A new workspace starts with the user, admin, and agent paths visible: simple task capture, operating-model setup, and safe agent handoff.
Actual app screen
Users can keep the first task flow simple: owner-visible rows with status, custom fields, tags, expected completion date, and logged-versus-estimated time.
Actual app screen
Teams that do not want heavy process can work from tag buckets first, then add saved views, custom swimlanes, and agent controls only where needed.

Actual app screen
When a task is ready for an AI agent, the queue checks the brief, files, allowed actions, blockers, quota, and proof before work starts.

Actual app screen
Admins get one place for operating model, launch control, workspace rules, role access, agent permissions, API keys, MCP clients, and integrations.

Actual app screen
Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, Cowork, and generic MCP clients get endpoint setup, read-only smoke calls, launch proof, reminders, and write gates before production mutations.

Actual app screen
Owners and admins can see app health, configuration warnings, runtime state, task counts, and support runbooks without leaving the product.
Actual product media
The primary video is assembled from authenticated product screens. The supporting media then explains the broader workflow: human planning, issue movement, agent handoff, governance, proof, migration, billing, and operations.
Actual app walkthrough
A short walkthrough built from real authenticated product screens: planner command center, list view, tag buckets, agent queue, admin controls, remote MCP setup, and diagnostics.

Issue tracking
Showcases issue creation, status movement, priority, labels, stage columns, comments, and blocker visibility.

Planning model
Positions buildr-plannr as the structured workspace for project hierarchy, cycle planning, dependencies, risks, and roadmap views.

Agent handoff
Shows how a human turns intent into safe agent work with scope, non-goals, constraints, files, docs, allowed actions, and verification commands.

Governance
Explains the human control loop: approval gates, run replay, outcome evidence, residual risk, and acceptance criteria before Done.

Migration and API
Highlights migration support, dry-run diffs, duplicate detection, bulk edits, API keys, and safe automation endpoints.

SaaS operations
Covers the commercial and operational surface: secured app access, subscriptions, plan entitlements, admin diagnostics, security posture, and status monitoring.
Built for flexible planning and safe automation
Use it as a straightforward task tracker, then add approval rules, proof, and MCP access when agent work becomes part of the delivery system.
Use a lightweight bucket of tagged work or a stricter workflow with custom swimlanes, due dates, priorities, comments, and proof.
Generate Markdown or JSON bundles with dependencies, linked docs, activity, repo hints, and environment notes.
Separate ready work from missing-context, blocked, needs-decision, needs-credentials, and verification states.
Require review for sensitive agent actions such as live task edits, exports, dependency changes, and scheduled runs.
Require commands, tests, screenshots, logs, PR links, coverage deltas, and residual risks before accepting completed work.
Use named agents, scoped tokens, metered runs, audit trails, and tiered limits to keep automation controlled.
Expose ready work, scoped task creation, files and docs, status updates, comments, time logging, proof, and approvals to MCP-capable clients.
Fast path to value
The product should feel obvious before anyone talks to sales: start small, customize the workspace, add work, then decide how much approval and proof each task needs.
Start free, name the workspace, invite teammates, and choose a simple default workflow.
Rename swimlanes, set permissions, decide reminder rules, and define what Done means before work scales.
Use a simple List, Cards, tag buckets, or a safe task brief depending on how much structure each item needs.
Humans keep control of decisions and approvals while agents receive scoped tasks and return proof.
Licence confidence
Buyers can prove value, migration safety, checkout timing, and security review paths before committing to a paid plan.
Yes. Start free, create or import one real task, and confirm the workflow fits before checkout.
Start freeNo. Plan selection is preserved during signup, but Stripe checkout starts from the secured billing screen after the workspace exists.
Billing guideProduction signup must prove clean, /health must show safe auth health for the release, checkout must be configured, and required admin review must be complete before paid purchase opens.
Verify billingYes. Imports start with dry-run previews, mapping rules, validation errors, rollback proof, and export paths before data is committed.
Migration guideYes. Public trust material covers security posture, DPA, subprocessors, privacy, support, enterprise review, and agent boundaries.
