Workflow

OpenCognit is built for leading agents instead of typing yourself: you give a task, an agent works, you review the result and decide. Four building blocks make that easy — grid, side panel and terminals stay as they are.

Task bar

In the toolbar (Ctrl+Shift+A) you write one sentence, e.g. “make the pricing page look great on mobile”. OpenCognit suggests a fitting agent and tells you why (e.g. “good at interfaces and design”); one click picks another.

• Start (Enter) — the agent works in its own worktree (own branch); a snapshot is taken first.
• As variants — the same task to two agents, to compare.

The suggestion follows simple rules (keywords in the task, who is free) — no AI, no tokens.

Review card

When an agent finishes a round with changes, a review card appears top right: which files changed, whether tests pass, how long the round took. Below it:

• Accept — for an agent in its own worktree: copy the changes into the project (no commit, snapshot first).
• Refine … — send a wish to the same agent.
• Discard — all files return to the state before the round (the current state is saved first, see time travel).
• View changes — opens the diff.

Several cards stack; use the arrows to page through them.

Inbox

In the status bar, the inbox collects everything waiting for you — across all agents of the project: approvals, questions, failing tests, finished rounds and reached limits. J / K selects, Enter handles the entry (e.g. grant an approval, “let it fix”).

Status bar

The bar at the bottom always shows: branch with ahead/behind, how many agents are working, the inbox, limits, test status, CLI quota and the license. Every entry takes you where you handle it.
