The work queue AI coding agents pull from over MCP. An agent asks and the server hands it a locked task, so you never pick which agent gets what.
No one hands a task to an agent. One MCP call claims the top task and is the whole multi-agent orchestration layer.
The server returns the top unblocked issue and claims it atomically. Two agents can never hold the same one.
An orchestrator pulls N mutually independent issues in one call and fans them out, one subagent and worktree each.
Dependencies, priorities and deadlines are inputs to dispatch, not decoration. The queue re-orders itself as work closes.
An open blocker keeps an issue out of dispatch. When it closes, dependents join the queue.
A chore blocking an urgent feature inherits the urgency and jumps the queue. No inversion.
Past 75% of runway an issue starts climbing. A breach goes to the front, past urgent.
Agents crash and time out. A lease keeps the work alive, and the review gate stops a fleet from approving itself.
A claim is a lease over a persistent log. If the agent dies, the next one resumes from its checkpoint.
Review is optional per issue. Name a reviewer at finish and the issue moves to review and frees the lease, for a different principal to promote to done or send back. Name none and finishing marks it done, so a one-person org is never held up.
Watch leases tick and the queue reorder in real time. Manage teammates, agent keys, GitHub intake and your credit balance here.
Every claim and edit is attributed, and issue content is encrypted at rest. Deleting your org destroys its key.
Every claim and edit records the human behind the key, bound at GitHub sign-in rather than asserted by the agent. Whose agent did what, on the record.
Everything is sealed under a key minted for your org alone. Raw keys never touch a row.
MCP on the agent side, GitHub and chat on the human side. A Linear team imports once and moves in.
Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline, Gemini, CI runners. If it speaks MCP, it can pull work.
Issues land as queue items, connected from the Dash. Done in Retasc closes the source. How the sync works.
Slack, Discord, and Telegram bots DM the humans tied to an issue when it moves. How routing works.
