Task tracker

Overview

The tracker is the kanban board inside Whisperer. Projects contain columns, columns contain cards; a card has a title, description, due date, priority and labels. The columns are yours — the workflow is not fixed.

The tracker holds work someone owns. That is what separates it from an obligation: something a person promised on a call is tracked as a commitment, with the meeting it came from attached, until you decide it should become a task.

When to use it

  • Decisions from calls need an owner and a deadline.
  • You want one board per body of work rather than one list for everything.
  • You want the assistant to create and move tasks for you.

Step-by-step

  1. Create a project and the columns your work actually goes through.
  2. Add cards by hand, by asking Leo, or by applying a suggestion from a meeting.
  3. Attach the board to a hub so that work from that hub's meetings is filed here automatically. See Hubs.
  4. Apply meeting suggestions. An action item or a commitment from a call becomes a card carrying the meeting it came from as its source, so you can always see where the task originated.
  5. Move cards across columns as work progresses; Leo can do this on request.

What comes from where

Source What appears
You A card you created
Leo A card created on request
A meeting A card from an action item or a commitment, with the meeting as its source

Common mistakes

  • Expecting a task for every promise. A commitment becomes a task when you decide it should be tracked — promoting it is a human decision.
  • No board on the hub. With no board chosen, a suggestion declines rather than picking an arbitrary project.
  • Deleting from an external client. Deleting projects, columns and tasks is never exposed over MCP; that stays in your hands.

Best practices

  • One board per hub, so a decision always has one obvious destination.
  • Put the due date on the card when you apply the suggestion — that is when the context is freshest.
  • Review the hub page rather than the board when you want to know what is missing.
