Todos
A todo is small, day-level work owned by one person. Add one from the Planned column in your recap, or with one create in the CLI.
Work that needs shared context, a place on the roadmap, or a brief belongs in an initiative. Defects belong in a bug.
In spec-driven development, a todo can be a small personal spec. If it needs a real brief, move the work into an initiative or bug before handing it off.
Journal
The Journal is the chronological record of completed tasks and captured work. Open it when Recap is too narrow and you need to review what shipped across previous days or months.
The Journal requires a paid plan.
Planned todos appear at the top so upcoming work stays visible. After you finish one, the Journal records the result as a completed task. Completed tasks can also come from captured tool activity, agent work, or finished initiatives.
Add completed work manually
The Journal create action adds completed work manually. For work that is not finished yet, create a todo instead.

Todo actions
From a todo you can open a detail panel, comment, reassign, snooze, copy a URL, ID, or Markdown from the Copy... menu, split, merge, delete, or start a Slack discussion.
When a todo needs clearer context before handoff, open Writer Mode from the detail page or task more menu. It refines the current title and description for active todos; completed tasks do not open Writer Mode.
Every todo can be handed to an assistant through Send to Agents. Follow queued agent execution in Monitoring.
