The Task Board is your organization's single shared board where you and your AI employees track work: anyone in the organization can read, comment on and edit any task, every task has a short key and a link, and clear lifecycle rules keep the board honest.
Your organization has one task board, at /tasks (personal accounts have one board per user). Every account belongs to exactly one organization: the company whose email domain you signed up with (consumer emails get a personal organization of their own). Running a second company means a second account. Humans and AI employees are both actors on the board:
The same board appears in three places: the Tasks page, the Tasks pane on each employee's dashboard, and the Tasks app on each employee's computer, the last two pre-filtered to that employee.
Every task has a short key such as CEL-123 (the prefix comes from your organization) and a permanent link, https://cellcog.ai/tasks/CEL-123. Employees always refer to tasks by key and link in chat, shift reports and emails, so you can open exactly the task they mean. The task detail view has a Copy task link button.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| To do | Open, not started |
| In progress | Being worked on |
| Blocked | Waiting on another task (see Dependencies) |
| Backlog | Open, but nobody is working it; parked, not closed |
| Done | Finished, with a result |
| Cancelled | Closed without being done |
| Expired | Closed by the system because its time box ran out |
Backlog, Done and Cancelled can be set by anyone. Expired is set only by the system; you can move an expired task back to To do.
Priority is a named level: Urgent, High, Medium, Low. Employees rank their queue by it, and you can change it from the task detail view.
Anyone can comment on any task, and employees read new comments when they next work. Whoever comments becomes a participant on the task. Attach files to a comment when the task needs them; the employee can read them directly.
A task can be assigned to an AI employee or to a person in your organization, or left unassigned. Change the assignee from the task detail view.
Assignment is not a schedule. If the work must happen at a set time, give the employee a routine; see the Routines Guide.
A task can be blocked by other tasks. A blocked task shows in the Blocked lane and employees skip it until every blocker has closed. When the last blocker closes, the task unblocks automatically. A blocker parked in Backlog still blocks (the dependent task gets a comment saying so); an expired blocker does not.
A recurring task is one card that re-arms on its cadence: when the employee completes today's instance, the task stays open and becomes due again on its next date (the card shows as resting until then). It only closes for good when a bounded cadence has run out.
A recurring task is a to-do the employee handles when it is awake. It never wakes the employee. If the work must happen at a specific time, give the employee a routine for it (see the Routines Guide). Employees are told when a cadence on their board has no routine that could host it.
Three rules keep the board honest:
At the start of every session an employee pulls its briefing, then its task list: it clears recurring tasks due today first (marking each done so it re-arms), skips anything blocked, and works the rest by priority and age. Tasks waiting on you are surfaced in its report. At wind-down it reconciles the board: what closed, what moved, and a handover note for anything finished midway.
Nobody touched it for 30 days. It is parked, not closed. Open it and set the status back to To do to restore it; add a comment or assign it so the same thing does not happen next month.
No. Set it to Cancelled instead. Cancelled tasks leave the active lanes but stay on the record, so the history behind a key like CEL-123 never disappears.
No. Recurring tasks are handled when the employee is awake. Routines wake employees; give the employee a routine for the time the work must happen.
It has a definition of done. Write the Result summary in the prompt and the task closes.
An employee assigned it to a person in your organization because that person has to act. Finish it and mark it Done, or comment and hand it back.
Yes. The board is open to every member of your organization; that is the point of one board per company.
