# Kanban board A four-column board for tasks. Dragging a card changes its status, creates worktrees, and fires hooks.  ## Columns The four columns map to the four task statuses: **To Do**, **In Progress**, **In Review**, **Done**. Dragging a card between columns changes its status, which can fire a [hook](https://ouijit.com/docs/hooks/). Dragging from To Do to In Progress creates the task's branch and worktree. See [Task lifecycle](https://ouijit.com/docs/worktrees/#task-lifecycle) for the full mapping. ## Create a task Click the **+** button on a column header, or press `⌘N` (`Ctrl+N` on Linux). A task takes a name and an optional prompt for the agent. Paste images into the prompt and the agent can read them when the task runs. Each task gets an auto-incrementing number (`T-1`, `T-2`) used for branch names and worktree directories. ## Act on a task Right-click a task card for its context menu: - **Open in**. A terminal in the task's worktree, a [sandboxed](https://ouijit.com/docs/sandbox/) terminal for each installed backend (**Lima VM** or **nono**), your editor, or the OS file manager. - **Rename**. Edit the task's name inline. - **Move to Done / Reopen**. Complete an active task or reopen a finished one. - **Delete**. Remove the task, its worktree, and its branch. If a task has running terminals, they appear at the top of the menu so you can jump straight to them. With the [GitHub surface](https://ouijit.com/docs/pull-requests/) enabled, cards show a badge for their linked pull request, and the menu adds **Create pull request** or **Pull request #N**. ## Shells outside tasks Terminals that don't belong to a task (a plain project shell) get their own strip on the board, so nothing you have running is hidden behind a card.
