Cotask

Easy parallel project management for Claude Code agents.

Why Cotask

1. A skill and a dashboard for your TASKS.md. Cotask is a Claude Code skill that manages tasks through a single TASKS.md file. Both you and your agents read and update it. A local web dashboard lets you view, drag-and-drop, and edit tasks intuitively.

2. Driven by project management best practices. Each task has acceptance criteria that define what "done" looks like, and a completion memo where the agent records what it actually did. Tasks follow a clear lifecycle — backlog, todo, ongoing, done, each serving clear purpose.

3. Monitor and navigate your running sessions. When a task is ongoing and bound to an active Claude Code session, the dashboard shows its state in real-time — running, idle, or waiting for permission. Click to jump straight to that terminal session.

Design Philosophy

1. Human-in-the-loop, not human-out-of-the-loop. Cotask is not about making agents fully autonomous. It's about letting you manage and intervene more efficiently — define what needs to be done, set the acceptance criteria, and approve when it's done.

2. The right interface for each species. Humans get a visual web dashboard. Agents get a structured skill that reads and writes markdown. Same underlying data, two interfaces, each suited to how its species operates.

3. More parallel work, less cognitive overhead. Managing multiple agents across multiple tasks is mentally taxing. Cotask consolidates everything into one view, shows you what needs your attention, and lets you navigate to any session directly.
