Organize Work

Projects & Planning

Keep sessions and reusable agent guidance grouped around the local repository where the work happens.

Switch projects

Use the Project menu at the top of the window. Selecting a project updates Sessions, Plans, Skills, Agents, Instructions, Analytics, files, and Git changes together. Choose Add Project… to register another folder.

Use plans

  1. Create a plan with a clear outcome and enough detail for an agent to begin.
  2. Assign it to the intended session.
  3. Enable auto-resume on that session if you want AskTerminal to dispatch assigned work automatically.
  4. Review the result and move the plan through its status lanes.
Good plan titles are outcomes: Prefer “Add account recovery flow” over “Work on authentication.” Put constraints and acceptance checks in the plan body.

Use skills, agents, and instructions

Skills describe repeatable procedures. Agents describe specialized roles. Instructions contain persistent project guidance. AskTerminal keeps these project-scoped and makes compatible copies available to supported engines. Review imported content before letting an agent use it.

Review Git changes

Use Changes to inspect diffs before committing. Confirm the selected repository or worktree and current branch before checkout, pull, push, or commit operations.
