Traycer analyzes your codebase, identifies exactly which files and functions need changes, and produces clear instructions your preferred AI assistant can execute end‑to‑end.

​
What is a Task?

A Task is an intelligent development workflow that converts high-level requirements into executable plans. Each Task combines:
  • Intelligent analysis: Understands your codebase and requirements in context.
  • Structured planning: Breaks work into manageable steps or phases.
  • Context preservation: Maintains full project understanding across steps.
  • Agent integration: Hands off cleanly to your AI coding assistant.

​
Task Modes

Traycer offers four modes for converting your ideas into Tasks:

Phases Mode

Best for complex features spanning multiple services or larger work - sequenced steps that preserve context across phases.

Plan Mode

Best for well-scoped tasks or features that can be implemented in one go, with clear, ready-to-implement guidance.

Review Mode

Best for comprehensive code reviews with deep analysis - categorized findings for bugs, performance, security, and clarity improvements.

Epic Mode

Best for managing specs and tickets through structured workflows - collaborative development with AI-guided processes.

Workflows

Learn how to create and manage custom workflows tailored to your team’s methodology.
Use Plan for focused, well-scoped changes that can be implemented in a single development session. Use Phases when a feature spans multiple areas, requires coordination, or benefits from incremental validation.
Use Epic when you want to follow a structured development methodology with guided workflows. Epic mode is ideal for teams that want to maintain specs, break down work into tickets, and follow a consistent process from requirements to implementation.
Traycer carries forward file mappings, decisions, and rationale so later steps reference earlier work accurately, avoiding re-analysis.
Yes. You can expand a Plan into Phases if scope grows by adding another phase after the current plan is complete.
Yes. you can create custom workflows tailored to your team’s methodology. Learn more in the Workflows documentation.
