| Best use | For developers switching among many directories in an interactive terminal. It learns from visited paths and helps you return; use explicit paths for scripts and deployments that require a fixed destination. | 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. | For developers reviewing features as small changes and revisiting earlier steps. Start with a separate practice clone to learn working copies and Bookmarks; delay team adoption until compatibility with required Git tooling is checked. |
