Tutorial: Managing Tasks with Tickets

Beginner — 10 minutes

Learn how to use AgentsMesh's ticket system to organize work, track progress on a Kanban board, and connect tickets to AgentPods for automatic context injection.

1

Navigate to the Ticket Board

Click Tickets in the left sidebar. You will see a Kanban board with columns for each status: Backlog, To Do, In Progress, In Review, and Done.

2

Create a Ticket

Click the + button at the top of any column (typically Backlog or To Do) to create a new ticket.

Fill in the ticket details:

  1. Title — A clear, concise description of the task (e.g., "Fix pagination bug on users list")
  2. Description — Detailed requirements, acceptance criteria, or context in Markdown
  3. Priority — Set the urgency: Urgent, High, Medium, Low, or None
  4. Story Points — Estimate the effort using Fibonacci numbers (1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21)
  5. Assignee — Optionally assign the ticket to a team member
3

Bind a Ticket to a Pod

The real power of tickets is their integration with AgentPods. When you create a new Pod:

  • In the New Pod dialog, select your ticket from the Ticket dropdown
  • The ticket's title and description are automatically injected as context for the AI agent
  • The ticket status automatically moves to In Progress when the Pod starts
You can also bind a ticket to an existing Pod from the Pod's detail panel.

Track Progress

As your AI agent works on the task, you can track progress in multiple ways:

  • Kanban Board — The ticket card shows which Pod is working on it and the agent's current status
  • Ticket Detail — Click the ticket to see all linked Pods, comments, and git activity
  • Git Activity — Commits and merge requests made by the Pod are automatically linked to the ticket
  • Comments — Add notes or feedback directly on the ticket
5

Move Through the Workflow

Drag tickets between columns to update their status, or use the status dropdown in the ticket detail view:

Backlog → To Do — The task is ready to be picked up
To Do → In Progress — An agent Pod is working on it (auto-updated when a Pod is bound)
In Progress → In Review — The agent has completed the task and it needs review
In Review → Done — The task has been reviewed and accepted
6

Review Git Activity

Each ticket tracks all git activity from its linked Pods:

  • View commits made by the AI agent on the ticket detail page
  • See merge/pull requests created from the Pod's worktree branch
  • Use this information to review and merge the agent's work into your main branch
