Summary
Present assignment of a card to a coding agent as a work session (ordered steps + diffs) rather than a generic back-and-forth chat UI.
Problem
Assigning a task to a coding agent currently re-uses the same chat surface as a conversational exchange. For delegated coding work this is less legible: the important artefacts are steps, tool calls, and file diffs, not a free-form message thread.
Proposed Direction
- Introduce a work-session / task-run view optimised for agent execution:
- Ordered steps / plan
- Tool calls rendered as actions (especially Edit/Write as diffs)
- Clear status and outcome
- Keep the existing chat UI for true conversational triggers.
- Optionally surface the same underlying events in both views.
Scope
- Product behavior
- Frontend
- AI Agent event model (if a clearer “run vs chat” distinction helps)
- Documentation
- Other
Additional Context
- Directly improves legibility of “watching an agent work”.
- Aligns with the broader naming idea of distinguishing a “task run / work session” from a “chat”.
