Help: Thoughts¶

Thoughts (/thoughts, in the Toolbox and your user menu) is your own locker for quick notes: a bug you noticed, an idea, something to look up. Type it in the box at the top and press Save it. Nobody else sees your thoughts: not the project's admins, and nobody else's AI.

Think out loud. Your agents answer in place. With ThoughtFlow on, write @designer in a thought and Send: the answer lands inside the thought, and the card turns amber when it's your turn.

Why note it instead of prompting¶

A thought costs nothing to write, and nothing runs until you send it. Collect what you have in mind, then send it together: your AI reads a batch once and sees what you want overall, where a string of separate prompts is paid for again each time and leaves the first ones without context. That is ThoughtFlow.

Capture and tag¶

• #tags in the text tag the thought, and [[links]] link to topics. #important (or #top) marks its card red.
• Where it goes: the chip under the box says which of your projects the thought is saved on; tap it to pick another.
• What you type is kept in the box until you save it, even across a refresh.
• Archive it saves a thought straight into the Archive, for things you want kept but out of the way.

Find them again¶

• Views: Recent (not archived), Not tagged, Archive.
• Projects: your thoughts from every project you're a member of are here together; pick one to see only its thoughts.
• Tags have three looks, one tap each: plain, selected (only these show) and hidden (red: these are hidden, and that is remembered for you on every device). While anything is hidden, a line above the list says so, with Show all.
• The site search finds your thoughts too, in a Your thoughts group only you see.

Edit, move, delete¶

Tap a card to open it in place: Save, Archive, History (every save is a version), Delete (to your Trash), and a project picker that moves it to another of your projects. ⤢ opens it in the big box at the top.

Send a thought to an agent¶

Conductor projects. Write @designer (or another role, or an agent's name) in a thought and press Send: it goes to that agent, who answers inside the thought with Done or Questions and a ↳ Your answer line. Type under that line and send again. These are your Chats. A thought to @monitor is answered as a question only, never carried out.

A brand new way to organize your AI help: around your thoughts, not prompts all over the place. Each thought keeps its own thread. Tap one and it opens read-only: the conversation, with the question at the foot and your answer box under it. Send answer hands it back, and you keep thinking while others get their replies. A card turns orange when it's your turn. Once the last word is the agent's Done, the thread opens closed, with Add answer and Done: archive it.

The Inbox and sprints¶

Talk in a sprint. Get tasks back. Dictate a sprint in one long breath: new bug…, new idea… split it into thoughts as you save, each one tagged, and they all land in the Inbox.

Conductor projects. Your pending #bug, #feature and #idea thoughts collect in the Inbox, at the top of Thoughts. Send (N) hands the ticked ones to your designer in one message, who turns them into pipeline tasks and sends them straight to the pipeline (to keep them from running, hold the pipeline); each thought then says Became task P-n and is archived. One the designer has questions on comes back with them, see After you send.

• What goes in: every thought tagged #bug, #feature or #idea that isn't sent or archived yet. A #note or an untagged thought stays out; tap ^^ on its card to promote it in. By voice: ok new bug, ok new feature and ok new idea go in, ok new note doesn't (Voice).
• Leaving one out: untick its box. It skips the next send only and is back, ticked, after that.
• Start fresh: Clear all moves every thought in the Inbox down to Others, unticked, and they stay there, even after your next send, until you tick one again.
• In a Focus: a thought in a Focus is out of the Inbox, so it is never sent twice. It comes back if you take it out of the Focus or archive the Focus.

A Focus: thoughts and topics together¶

A Focus gathers the thoughts and topics on one subject in one place: a map of its topics and the model they name, your notes, and its thoughts as cards. Think it through, then Send focus and it comes back as tasks. Make one with Group in focus on Thoughts, or from search.

All of it, with animations: Focus.

After you send: whose turn it is¶

Conductor projects. A sent thought is either waiting on the designer or waiting on you.

1. Waiting on the designer. A sent thought carries #sent and has no checkbox: it can't go into the Inbox again while the designer has it.
2. Waiting on you. When the designer answers but needs your say first, the answer shows on the card, it's tagged #ai-question and its checkbox is back. Reply if you want more, or leave it until you're happy.
3. Ok, go. Happy with the answer? Tick it into the Inbox. It goes as ok, go and is handled like any other thought: enough to go on, it becomes tasks; anything missing, it comes back to you as #ai-question.
4. Ended in tasks. The thought shows its tasks (Became task P-n) and is archived.

Tasks made from your thoughts are sent to the pipeline, not parked. If you don't want them worked on yet, hold the pipeline.
