What it does
Breaks complex work into manageable tasks, sequences them and keeps the state across sessions, so a long build does not dissolve into a conversation that has forgotten what it was doing. Documentation in ten languages. The decomposition is the model's judgement and sometimes misreads the shape of the work, so review the initial task list before letting it run. Aimed at software work rather than general project management. Last updated August 2025. MIT.
Summary based on the project's own description. The Japanese page has a fuller beginner guide: setup difficulty, what to prepare, and a step-by-step start.
