| 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 project owner working on a substantial feature or a difficult bug. It helps clarify requirements, approve a plan, and inspect tests and file changes. Its value is a visible path from decision to verification. A small text edit may not need the full workflow. | Best for a developer or small team using DSH for recurring or connected work and wanting task state and execution evidence in one record. It pins the project, agent preset, and permission, then runs manually or through Host cron with a human gate for elevated access. It is not a fit for a frequently sleeping machine or unreviewed sensitive automation. |
