Subtask helpers
Subtasks are where work gets vague — quick notes like "fix the login thing" that made sense at the time. Three AI helpers turn those into something the team can actually act on, right from the task and subtask form.
Reword
The Reword button takes your draft subtask and rewrites it into a clear, structured shape:
- A concise, action-led title (it strips filler like "need to", "should", "maybe")
- A plain-language description of what you're trying to do
- A breakdown — 2 to 5 concrete steps
- A proposed outcome — what "done" looks like
It also tells you the improvements it made, so you can see what changed rather than getting a black-box rewrite. Keep it or tweak it — it's your subtask.
Rough is fine
Type the messy version on purpose. Getting the thought down and letting Reword structure it is faster than writing a tidy subtask from scratch.
Verify
Verify checks a subtask's quality before it goes out. It returns a quality score (1–10), a suggested title and description, and a short list of insights — info, warnings, and suggestions. If a subtask is trying to do too much, it offers a split suggestion, proposing 2 to 4 smaller subtasks. It can also point out other subtasks this one likely depends on.
Subtask report
Where Reword and Verify work on a single subtask, the subtask report looks at all the subtasks together against their parent task. It surfaces:
- Roadblocks — issues in how the work is broken down
- Dependency suggestions — which subtasks should be linked
- Recommended new subtasks — gaps worth adding
It's a quick sanity check that a task's breakdown actually holds together.
