Quick entry flow

Quick entry is the fastest path from "I just thought of something" to a card on the board. It's a single modal, not a multi-step wizard — the "4 steps" below are really four places your attention lands while you're filling it in.

Click the + button in any column header. The card lands in that column: click + on Backlog and you get a backlog card, click it on Ideation and you get an ideation card.

Step 1 — Title

06.Card-Quick-Entry1

Start with the title. Everything else is optional — a card with only a title is a perfectly legal card. The modal doesn't force you through every field.

Step 2 — Detail

06.Card-Quick-Entry2

The Detail tab is a full Tiptap editor: markdown, headings, lists, code blocks, tables, inline images. Paste a screenshot and it embeds as an image. Paste a link and it stays a link — there's no auto-unfurling.

Step 3 — Classification

06.Card-Quick-Entry3

Before you save, drop in:

  • Priority — low / medium / high
  • Complexity — low / medium / high
  • AI platform (optional) — override the workspace default if this particular card needs Gemini or Codex instead of Claude Code

Step 4 — Save

Card-Quick-Entry4

Save. The draft becomes a real card in the column you started from. The modal stays open so you can keep editing, or close it and move on.

Quick entry is purely human-driven. No AI call happens during capture — the board doesn't interrupt your thought. AI steps in afterward, when you explicitly ask for an evaluation (evaluate) or start implementation (autonomous / quick-fix).

Where draft cards live before you save

Until you hit Save, the card is a draft with an ID like draft-<timestamp>. It exists only in the local Zustand store; nothing's persisted. Close the modal without saving and the draft is gone.

Keyboard

  • Enter in the title field jumps to the description
  • Cmd/Ctrl + Enter anywhere inside the modal saves the draft
  • Esc discards
