| Best use | 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. | 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. | 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. |
