What are people's workflows these days? As I use claude more and more I've started using git worktrees, one branch per worktree per PR, with possibly multiple agents working in each worktree at the same time on different aspects. And I manually instruct those agents. Like Emdash/Cursor/Zed. Sometimes I review code locally, sometimes agents push and I review in GitHub, no clear system yet. (jj seems promising, but Zed…

How much are worktrees benefitting you? If I can describe the work so clearly that it can be done in parallel, I find Claude can typically one shot so parallel work isn't needed.

Not sure what you mean. Whether Claude one shots or not, it spends some minutes and in those minutes I can start another task in another worktree...

Great project, will give it a try!

Struggling to find a simple task management for work across different repos and some admin+marketing tasks. Become very messy when tasks are distributed among Hermes, Claude Code & myself.

Planned to building on beads to for non-repo based tasks, adding long term goal to keep driving agents busy, UI mainly sits on telegram group with topics. See whether Paca can solve the problem :)

Wow, what an awesome GitHub README. Informative and straight to the point.

I'm building an IDE for coding agents with a project management kanban board & plugin support as two of its flagship features. I think I can learn a lot from this project in its design as well as presentation.

Plugin sandboxing is an interesting tradeoff. I am planning full "video game coremod" style plugins with full access to the app and system, but it's interesting to see a WASM + sandbox approach.

Gh issues works surprisingly well as an agent board. Labels for state, one issue per feature. The part i haven't figured out yet is how to know when the output is actually done vs just "looks done" to the agent.

I find well described but concise acceptance criteria does a good job of anchoring the llm to the correct output. Also have them take screenshots of any UI work and respond to the ticket with them as proof.

People who like Jira (or rather want; I doubt one ever “needs” this thing), and make decisions on its implementation and payment, and force it on others, are not the people who are shopping for alternatives. So who these alternatives are really for?

People in companies above 2-3 people have to use _some_ ticketing / task system.

I like Jira. Much more than Service Now

The people it's being forced on, maybe? PM says "we're going to start using Jira", engineer says "how about we use this thing that looks similar but is not as terrible as Jira?"

Oh, what thing that would be? :)

Linear is both Jira shaped and less terrible.

I make decisions on implementation and payment for our Enterprise use of Atlassian today (mid 6 figures per annum of spend) - and I'm definitely shopping for alternatives!
