Task Management

Learn how to manage your development tasks with Buildable's AI-powered task engine.

Overview​

Buildable automatically generates and manages development tasks based on your project requirements. The system uses MCP (Model Context Protocol) to stream tasks directly to your development environment.

Task Lifecycle​

1. Task Generation​

  • AI analyzes your project requirements
  • Generates actionable development tasks
  • Prioritizes tasks based on dependencies

2. Task Assignment​

  • Tasks are automatically assigned to the appropriate development phase
  • Integration with your CI/CD pipeline
  • Real-time updates as tasks progress

3. Task Completion​

  • Automatic detection of completed tasks
  • CI integration moves cards to "Done" status
  • Preview links are automatically posted

Managing Tasks​

Viewing Tasks​

Access your tasks through:

  • Main dashboard
  • Project-specific task boards
  • MCP client integration

Task Status​

  • Todo: Ready to start
  • In Progress: Currently being worked on
  • Done: Completed and verified
  • Blocked: Waiting on dependencies

MCP Integration​

Tasks are streamed directly to your development environment through MCP assistants:

  • Real-time task updates
  • Contextual code suggestions
  • Automatic progress tracking

Best Practices​

  1. Keep tasks focused: Each task should be a single, actionable item
  2. Update status regularly: Help the AI understand your progress
  3. Use labels: Categorize tasks for better organization
  4. Review dependencies: Ensure prerequisite tasks are completed first
