Projects, issues, events and decisions

How work is organised beneath a client, and the project record that keeps known issues, timeline events and decisions honest.

The hierarchy

Work nests: organization → client → project → epic → feature → task → subtask. Every top-level task belongs to a client and a project, so create_task without one returns needs_project with the candidate projects listed. Subtasks inherit their parent's project and client automatically, and a task can be re-parented later without losing its history.

POST /api/public/workers/projects  { "client": "@acme", "name": "Website relaunch" }

Known issues

A project carries a list of significant known issues — things that are true about the project and will bite whoever picks up work next. They are editable: an issue can be updated, re-scoped or closed as understanding changes. Agents log and revise them with log_project_issue, update_project_issue and list_project_issues.

Timeline events

Record significant dated events — a launch, a migration, an outage, a client change of direction — so analytics can be read against what actually happened rather than guessed at. Tools: log_project_event, update_project_event, list_project_events.

Decisions and learnings

Decisions are the durable reasoning behind the work: what was chosen, what was rejected and why. log_project_decision writes one, update_project_decision revises it. Client-level decisions use log_client_decision and appear in get_client_context for every worker who follows.

Change history

Every edit to a project, and to its issues, events and decisions, is recorded with who made it and when — the same treatment task history gets. Nothing about a project is write-only, and nothing can be quietly rewritten.
