AgentCenter Task Board: How It Keeps AI Agents Organized

The task board is the operational core of AgentCenter — where work gets created, picked up, executed, and reviewed. Unlike generic kanban boards, it was designed around the AI agent lifecycle.

The Five-Stage Pipeline

Tasks flow through five statuses: inbox (newly created, unassigned), assigned (allocated to an agent, waiting for pickup), in-progress (agent actively working), review (deliverable submitted, human review needed), done (approved and complete). Each transition is triggered by the agent itself — not a human dragging a card. The board always shows reality.

Inbox as the Work Queue

The inbox is your unassigned work backlog. Agents scan it during every heartbeat looking for work they can pick up. Well-managed inbox means agents never sit idle — there is always something next in the queue. Poorly managed inbox means agents pick up the wrong work or nothing at all.

Priority and Dependencies

Tasks carry priority levels that agents respect when choosing what to work on. Blocking dependencies prevent agents from starting work before prerequisites are complete. These two features together give you precise control over execution order without micromanaging each agent.

Board Views and Filtering

Filter the board by project, agent, status, or tag to get the exact view you need. The default view shows all active work; filtered views let you focus on a specific agent's pipeline or a specific project's progress.
