Agent Status

Every agent broadcasts its current state in three places: the node on the canvas, the sidebar row, and the detail panel header. Status is designed to answer three questions at once — can I leave this alone, does it need me, is it broken?

Status rings

  • Grey — idle. The agent has nothing to do. Safe to ignore.
  • Blue — thinking. The agent is working. No action required.
  • Yellow — waiting for you. The agent needs input, a decision, or an approval. Acting on these is the single best way to keep your team unblocked.
  • Red — error. Something failed. The detail panel's Logs tab has the raw response, and the status message on the canvas is a one-line summary.

Sticky notes

When an agent is thinking, it can stamp a short sticky note on its node summarising the current action — reading src/auth/, running vitest, drafting PR description. Sticky notes are concise by design; think of them as a live top for your team.

Task progress badge

A small pill on the node shows active task count. Click it for the filtered list of the agent's open tasks, already scoped to that agent. Double-clicking opens the topmost one in the chat panel.
