Main β€” kanban board

Four columns with count headers, each showing "No tasks" in this empty-state capture:

Column Count Purpose (inferred)
Drafts 0 User-composed, not yet dispatched
Active 0 Agent currently working
Ready 0 Complete, awaiting review
Done 0 Closed / merged

Task Board is how Replit productizes Replit - Parallel Agents. Each column maps to a lifecycle stage; tasks in Active imply concurrent agent work. This is the explicit UI for multi-agent orchestration. Anything.com has no equivalent.

The Drafts column is important: it lets humans plan tasks ahead and dispatch in batches. Different mental model than "type prompt β†’ agent runs now." This is closer to a PM tool bolted onto an agent runtime.
