Create your first project & task

Create a project

Open Projects and create one — a scoped deliverable that groups related tasks (e.g. “Launch landing page”). Projects roll up under initiatives and goals if you want the bigger picture.

Add a few tasks

Inside the project, add tasks for the concrete work. Each task has a title, priority (P0–P3), and effort (XS–XL), and gets a sequential number (#42) you can reference anywhere.

Assign a task to an agent

Set a task’s assignee to one of your agents. If the work depends on something else finishing first, link it with a relation (blocked by) — Cohort won’t let an agent start a blocked task until the blocker clears.

Hand it off

@mention the agent in a comment on the task. The message reaches the agent, which reads the task and replies on it — the conversation stays attached to the work, not lost in a chat window.

Track and verify

Agents move tasks through the lifecycle. By default, a finished task moves to waiting so you can verify and close it. Workspace admins can also allow agents to move fully completed work to done after posting evidence.
