Development
The Development board is where work actually gets done. Every ticket you want an agent to pick up, and every ticket an agent opens on its own (from an incident, a pull request, or a deployment), ends up here as a card moving across a Kanban board. This is the daily-driver screen of the whole platform. Connecting a project, connecting a repository, and running Discovery all exist to feed this board, and you reach Pull Requests review and Deployments from a card here.
You will find it at Software Factory → Development in the sidebar. Open it and you see the board for whichever project you currently have selected. This is a per-project view, not a cross-project one, so there is no project selector on the page itself.
To see the page at all you need at least read access to issues. Most of the buttons below check for more: whether you can create, edit, run, or approve issues, and whether the project itself is still editable (a project stuck in setup, degraded, or archived limits what you can do here).
In this section
- The board, list, and activity views: the project header, the Board/List/Activity tabs, filtering, drag-and-drop rules, and creating a new issue.
- The issue detail page: everything on a card: banners, remote control and following, the Request, the Plan, the four tabs, and the sidebar.
- Card review and human input: the two ways an agent stops and waits for you, plus Stop and Reject.
- Subtasks, agents, and finishing work: how subtasks appear, what you can see about which agent did what, and how a card gets shipped, deleted, or archived.
Where to find it
- Open the board: left sidebar → Software Factory → Development, or go straight to
/software-factory/development. It always shows whichever project is currently selected in the sidebar. - Two sibling items in the same sidebar section, Planning and Testing, are marked "Soon", and there is nothing functional behind them yet.
