Human task tracking with agent execution control

The issue tracker built for AI agent delivery.

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.

What is it?
A task tracker that turns normal work into safe AI-agent execution.
Who should buy?
Teams that want humans and AI agents in one governed planning system.
When is it not needed?
If work is human-only and agents never touch code, data, environments, or customers, a human-only tracker may be enough.
First win
Create one task, add owner/date/status, then decide if it needs files, approvals, and proof.

Buy when

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

Six concrete reasons teams buy buildr-plannr.

Keep Jira, Linear, or Azure DevOps as records if needed. Use buildr-plannr when the work must be safe for AI execution.

Clear task briefs

Task contracts

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

Files and docs for the agent

Context packs

Agents get the right files, docs, links, architecture notes, incidents, and prior decisions before execution.

Allowed actions

Execution policy

Owners control what agents can do, where they can act, which tools they may use, and when approval is required.

Proof before Done

Evidence-based Done

Work is not complete until tests, logs, screenshots, PRs, and risk notes are attached and accepted.

Ready work queue

Agent queues

Ready work is prioritized by readiness, blockers, permissions, and run quota instead of status alone.

Agent run controls

Commercial control

Usage limits, plans, billing, audit history, exports, and enterprise controls are built around agent work.

Why not Jira, Linear, or Azure DevOps?

Because agents need more than a ticket.

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.

  1. Minute 1

    Start free and name the workspace

    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.

  2. Minute 3

    Create or import one real task

    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.

  3. Minute 7

    Decide whether it needs agent control

    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 this beats a human-only tracker

Jira, Linear, and Azure DevOps track the work item. buildr-plannr turns it into an execution handoff.

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.

Should we buy this?

Choose buildr-plannr when agents need safe work, not just tickets.

If agents will execute software work, choose or pilot buildr-plannr. If all work stays human-only, keep your current tracker until the handoff risk appears.

Buy buildr-plannr

AI agents will touch code, data, environments, or customers.

Use buildr-plannr to give every agent task clear instructions, allowed actions, approvals, limits, and proof before Done.

Create first task

Pilot it first

You need proof before moving a team.

Create one workspace, add one real task, customize one workflow, and check the first handoff in ten minutes.

Open quickstart

Stay with your tracker for now

All work is human-only and your process is already clear.

Jira, Linear, or Azure DevOps may be enough until agents need scoped instructions, permissions, quota, and proof-backed completion.
