| Best use | Best for an individual developer or small team using coding agents and wanting to review the specification and plan before code. It keeps tasks, acceptance criteria, and decisions inside the project and exposes them through CLI, a local browser, or MCP. It is not a replacement for a centralized enterprise SaaS board with organization-wide permissions and reporting. | Best for a developer or small team maintaining a product or library guide and comfortable with files and Git. It organizes scattered instructions into pages with clear locale and version choices. It does not write or translate your content, and may be excessive for a single page or a team needing direct collaborative editing. | Best for an individual developer or small team that wants an AI agent to complete an inspectable task in a working copy: understand files, make a bounded change, and run a test. Start with manual approval and scope the folder and tools. Do not give it broad access to production or sensitive data. |
