Agent board

Turn tasks into cards and take them from prompt to pull request without leaving one screen.

The redesigned board with draft prompts and existing worktrees in separate workflow columns

The agent board is a high-level alternative to managing agents through terminal tabs. Toggle it with Board in the toolbar (Escape exits, the header shows Exit agent board). The board is project-scoped and takes over the whole window — the sidebar is hidden while it is open, so its four columns own the full frame and the header names the current project. Closing the board restores the normal workspace.

Columns

Column	Meaning
Drafts	Prompts written down but not started. "New draft" lives here.
In progress	Worktrees with running agents, plus review-fix work awaiting manual completion.
Review needed	Idle worktrees waiting for a human, including branches with an open PR.
Completed	Worktrees you have explicitly moved here.

The board includes existing non-main worktrees, even when they were created outside the board. Removing a worktree elsewhere in Pragma removes its card too, and hiding one takes its card off the board until you unhide it (the same rule as the sidebar). Opening a PR does not automatically complete its card. Column headers carry counts.

Cards

A card shows its branch name, its agent icon and model, its prompt (three-line clamp), and agent status. When System 1/Jev progress estimation is configured, the card shows the same activity and estimated progress as the sidebar; hover the status icon for its details. A PR #N badge remains visible while agents work on a PR branch.

Drafts open a draft dialog: edit the markdown prompt, pick agent and model, and choose the branch — an existing one, or type a new name and pick Create {branch}.
In progress cards open a popup listing the worktree's agent terminals. You can interact with the live sessions there. Open worktree in the top right opens the regular workspace, with Back to agent board to return.
PR cards in Review needed or Completed open a larger version of the Pull Request sidebar beside the file review, with diffs expanded by default and inline review comments. Clicking a file in the PR sidebar opens that file in the regular workspace.
Other idle cards open their regular worktree directly.

Suggested drafts

Sources you have connected can propose drafts for you. They appear at the bottom of the Drafts column as dashed ghost cards — for example, one for each open GitHub issue when you are signed in to GitHub and the project has a GitHub origin. Picking one opens the draft dialog pre-filled with its branch and prompt; nothing is saved until you submit. Dismiss a suggestion with the × on its card, and it stays hidden for that project. The first 20 suggestions show at once; Load more reveals the rest. A suggestion whose branch already exists is hidden.

Plugins add their own sources with defineSuggestedDraftProvider.

Starting a card

Moving a draft into In progress launches in the background: Pragma creates or reuses the worktree — with the same main-behind sync gate as the normal dialog — and spawns the agent PTY without mounting a terminal. The board stays up and usable while the agent works. Open the card later and the full scrollback is there.

Ordinary work returns to Review needed once all its agents finish. Launching a review-comment fix or the fix it list moves that worktree to In progress and keeps it there after the agent finishes, until you manually move it back. Clicking its PR number while it is in progress opens its agent terminals.

Fan out from a draft

Choose Fan out in the prompt dialog to add repeatable agent/model attempt rows. Save the draft and move it to In progress to launch the attempts.

Fanout configuration inside a draft, with repeatable agent attempt rows An unpicked fanout is one card with its attempts nested inside; clicking an attempt opens its worktree.

Dragging the fanout to Completed opens the full comparison in a popup: live sessions, scratchpads, and base-to-attempt file diffs, using the same comparison as the regular workspace. Pick an implementation and confirm the cleanup. Pragma merges the winner into the coordination parent and removes the attempt worktrees. The card becomes an ordinary worktree card, then offers the regular completion choices. File and scratchpad links leave the board for the relevant regular worktree, with the return button available.

Completing a card

Dragging a worktree with an existing PR into Completed marks it complete immediately. For other worktrees, the completion dialog offers:

Mark completed — keeps the worktree and returns to the board.
Commit all and open PR — commits everything with AI-planned commits, pushes the branch, drafts the pull request, and runs entirely in the background. The card keeps the PR number.
Go to worktree — marks the card complete and opens the worktree in the normal workspace.

You can drag a completed card back to In progress or Review needed. A new ordinary agent run also reopens it automatically. Delete a card and its worktree with the hover Delete card button or its context menu.

Cards and everything else

The board sits on top of the same worktrees, sessions, and PR views as the rest of the app — a card is a view onto a worktree, not a separate system. The completion pipeline is the same one behind the AI Commit & PR button, and the PR it opens lands in the same Pull Request views.
