Intent Map
The Intent Map is a dynamic overlay of what is happening versus what was planned — an interactive visualization of initiatives and objectives over time. It lives at Map in the project sidebar.
Use it when you want to answer a question the Board can't: not just where each objective is, but whether the project as a whole is converging on what was intended — and by when.
What the Intent Map is
ConceptA dynamic overlay of what is happening versus what was planned — an interactive visualization of initiatives and objectives over time.
Every project has two layers of truth: the plan (initiatives with target dates, objectives in a particular order) and the reality (which agents are running, which objectives are stalled, whether the team is on pace). The Board surfaces the second layer only — it shows you the current state of each objective, one card at a time. The Intent Map overlays both layers simultaneously. You can see not just where things are, but whether where they are matches where they were supposed to be.
Intent Map vs. the Board
ComparisonThe Board answers which objectives are in flight. The Intent Map answers whether the project is tracking against intent.
Board
A lane-based view of every objective in the project. Optimized for individual objective management — moving work forward, reviewing agent output, writing new objectives. Shows current state at the objective level. Best for daily execution.
Intent Map
An initiative-level view of project health over time. Optimized for reading the gap between plan and reality — which initiatives are on track, which are slipping, and whether execution is converging toward the intended outcome. Best for weekly health checks and milestone reviews.

Two tabs, two lenses
FeatureThe Initiatives tab reads health at a glance. The Roadmap tab reveals how execution maps onto the planned timeline.
Initiatives
A two-panel layout: a scrollable initiative list on the left, an initiative detail panel on the right. Each initiative row shows live agent activity, objective completion distribution, last activity heat, and any warning signals — overdue, at risk, stale, or clarity-flagged. Initiatives with active agent runs are pinned to the top. The detail panel shows the full objective list, team composition, and a release prompt when all objectives are done. Auto-refreshes every five seconds.
Roadmap
A horizontal time-axis view of every initiative with a date range. Initiative bars span from start date to due date, with objective dots overlaid to show where execution actually falls within the planned window. Dragging a start or end handle reschedules the initiative directly — no separate edit modal. Warning indicators appear on bars where planned and actual have diverged past a threshold. A today marker shows where the present sits within the plan.
Planned vs. happening
Core valueThe signal the Intent Map is optimized to surface is divergence — the gap between scheduled intent and actual execution.
A healthy project shows initiative bars that are filling with done objectives, active agent pulse dots, and no warning indicators. An unhealthy one shows the opposite: bars that are mostly backlog, stale objectives with no recent activity, and overdue dates turning red. The Roadmap tab makes temporal divergence visible: if an initiative's objective dots cluster at the right edge of its bar (all the execution happening at the last moment), that's a risk pattern that wouldn't be obvious from the Board alone. The Initiatives tab makes status divergence visible: the activity heat, the micro-grid of objective lanes, and the warning badges together tell you whether an initiative is tracking or drifting — without opening a single objective.
