A run, step by step

You press one button per step. The board sends the command to the chat, your agent runs it, and the board moves on by itself. The pictures follow one spec, a profile photo upload.

The whole run in 25 seconds. This is a recreation of a run, sped up, not a recording: the board is the real one, and the window and chat around it are a plain stand-in for the Copilot app.
  1. Specify

    Press New spec, choose Companion, describe what you want and submit. When the agent finishes, the spec is on the board as Specified, and the card offers Run plan.

    Profile photo upload on the board after specify. The status reads Specified, Specify is done in the pipeline and Plan, Tasks and Implement are not started, the card reads Next: Plan with a Run plan button, and the Overview shows the intent.
    After specify: one step done, and Run plan on the card.
  2. Plan

    Press Run plan. Plan turns done, and the plan, the research and the data model get a tab each.

    The same spec after plan. The status reads Planned, Specify and Plan are done, the card reads Next: Tasks with a Run tasks button, and the Plan tab is open on the plan.
    After plan: the plan on its own tab, and Run tasks on the card.
  3. Tasks

    Press Run tasks. The Tasks tab lists every task by phase and counts 0/6.

    The same spec after tasks. The status reads Ready to Implement, three steps are done, the card reads Next: Implement with a Run implement button, and the Tasks tab reads 0/6 with Phase 1's tasks unticked.
    After tasks: the task list by phase, and Run implement on the card.
  4. Implement

    Press Run implement. Implement reads Running, and each task is ticked as the agent finishes it, with what it did and the files it touched. If the run stops, press Resume.

    The same spec during implement. The status reads Implementing, Implement is running in the pipeline, the card reads Implement is running with a Resume button, and the Tasks tab reads 3/6 with T001 and T002 ticked and the files each one touched.
    During implement: three of six tasks ticked, and Resume on the card.
