You put cards in the queue; your agent takes them out; the result comes back for review.
Nothing starts on its own. Work happens when you open a terminal and ask for it, on your machine and your subscription.
Putting work in
From any card, press Queue for agent. You can also drag a card straight onto the queue button.
Order matters: drag rows in the queue panel to reprioritise. Your agent takes from the top.
Taking work out
In a terminal, in your project, ask your agent:
check my alicein queue
It pulls the top card it is allowed to work — with a context pack, not just a title:
- the card itself: description, checklist, notes, links
- where it sits: which enabler, which phase, which goal
- the record behind it: the events and decisions that already touch this work
- any design document the card is tagged with
That is the difference between “build a login page” and your agent knowing why you chose the auth approach you chose three weeks ago.
Reading the queue
Each row shows its state:
Delivered is not done. When a card comes back as review, your agent considers its part finished — but the card closes when you close it. If it is not right, say so in the card’s comment thread and put it back in the queue.
Reviewing what came back
Open the card. Your agent leaves a short delivery comment in plain English — what you will see or feel, not how it was built — and the detail sits in the record behind it if you want it.
The comment thread is where the review happens. Your agent replies there, so the conversation lives on the card rather than in a chat window you will lose. Open Conversation under the delivery and the earlier comments sit with it, above Card details.
Your own comments are signed you until you set a name. Change it under Your name in Settings: open the gear, edit the name, and click away. Comments you write after that use the new name. Comments already written keep the name they had.
The card’s History shows every event and decision attached to it, so you can see the work in the context of everything that came before it.
Any card can hand you its context pack as markdown. Copy it, paste it into Cursor or anything else, and work there. You keep the context; you lose the automatic logging of what happened.
