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.
Workflows
Traycer offers three workflows for converting your ideas into Tasks:Phases Workflow
Best for complex features spanning multiple services or larger work - sequenced steps that preserve context across phases.
Plan Workflow
Best for well-scoped tasks or features that can be implemented in one go, with clear, ready-to-implement guidance.
Review Workflow
Best for comprehensive code reviews with deep analysis - categorized findings for bugs, performance, security, and clarity improvements.
When should I use Plan vs Phases?
When should I use Plan vs Phases?
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.
How does Traycer preserve context across steps?
How does Traycer preserve context across steps?
Traycer carries forward file mappings, decisions, and rationale so later
steps reference earlier work accurately, avoiding re-analysis.
Can I switch from Plan to Phases mode?
Can I switch from Plan to Phases mode?
Yes. You can expand a Plan into Phases if scope grows by adding another phase after the current plan is complete.
