Answers for first tasks, admin setup, and safe AI work.

Do one useful task before configuring everything. Fastest path: create or import one real task with a title, let buildr-plannr place it on the board, then choose the simplest view. Add an expected date when delivery matters; if there is no date yet, move it to Blocked and add the reason after the task is visible. Customize workspace rules later, and leave agent queues, files and docs for agents, and proof rules until a real task needs AI-agent execution.

1. /Open the create task form and type one real task title.
2. /Add only the task title if you want the fastest path; buildr-plannr puts it on the board immediately.
3. /Add the expected completion date next when delivery matters.
4. /If there is no date yet, move it to Blocked so the task is honest without opening advanced setup.
5. /Use Mark blocked for now when a task should stay visible but is waiting for a date, owner, access, or decision.
6. /Use Cards, List, swimlane/status buckets, or tag buckets without changing the underlying task.
7. /Refine description, customer impact, release details, and agent setup after the work is visible.
8. /Customize workspace rules after the first task is visible; agent controls can wait until the task needs safe AI-agent execution.

Jira, Azure DevOps, and Linear track work for humans. buildr-plannr prepares work so AI agents can safely execute it. Choose buildr-plannr when agents need clear task briefs, the right files and docs, allowed actions, approvals, proof before Done, readiness queues, and commercial controls for agent runs.

1. /Use normal tasks, tags, lists, cards, and swimlanes for human work.
2. /Clear task briefs, also called task contracts, turn vague tickets into scope, non-goals, tools, constraints, acceptance checks, and approval rules.
3. /Files and docs for agents, also called context packs, include the right files, docs, links, architecture notes, and prior decisions before they start.
4. /Allowed-action rules, also called execution policy, say what agents may do, where they may act, and when human approval is required.
5. /Agent queues prioritize work by readiness, blockers, permissions, and run quota instead of status alone.
6. /Proof before Done, also called evidence-based Done, accepts work only when tests, logs, screenshots, PRs, risk notes, time, or human approval are attached.
7. /Commercial control keeps usage limits, plans, billing, and enterprise controls tied to agent work.

Start normal task tracking now. Users can create one task, choose Cards, List, tag buckets, or swimlanes, and add a date or blocker. Admins can set access, starter lanes, reminders, and a support owner. Agent writes should wait until the task has scope, files and docs, allowed actions, approvals, quota, and proof before Done.

1. /Start: create one real task with a title, status, tag, and expected date or blocker.
2. /Start: choose Cards, List, tag buckets, or swimlanes from the same task data.
3. /Start: admins set access, starter lanes, reminders, and a support owner before broad rollout.
4. /Wait: do not enable agent writes until scope, files and docs, allowed actions, approvals, quota, and proof are clear.
5. /Wait: keep billing and advanced agent controls deferred until a real task proves the need.

Buy buildr-plannr when AI agents will execute real work and the team needs safe handoff, not just another issue list. Keep Jira, Linear, or Azure DevOps as the source tracker if all work stays human-only. Pilot buildr-plannr when one task needs a clear brief, files and docs, allowed actions, proof before Done, an agent queue, or commercial controls around agent runs.

1. /Keep the existing tracker when the team only needs human-owned issues, boards, lists, statuses, and reports.
2. /Pilot buildr-plannr beside the existing tracker when one task needs an AI agent to execute safely.
3. /Add a clear brief: scope, non-goals, tools, constraints, acceptance criteria, and approval rules.
4. /Attach files and docs: links, architecture notes, and prior decisions.
5. /Use allowed actions, proof before Done, agent queues, and run limits before approving production agent work.
6. /Upgrade only when real agent work proves the need for more users, runs, audit, billing, or enterprise controls.
