Scenario
You are a solo founder. Production has a bug. You have 30 minutes before back-to-back calls. You want an agent to start investigating and implementing while you’re unavailable. Before: vague Slack note, “fix the login thing.” After: a task with reproduction steps, assigned to a named agent, moving through In Progress with comments you can review later.Copy-paste task example
Title: Fix 401 after OAuth callback on/auth/callback
Description:
Steps
1
Confirm your runtime is online
Open Settings → Runtimes. Your machine should show online with at least one agent CLI detected.If offline, run
notiky setup or notiky daemon restart.2
Create the bugfix task
Open Tasks → New Task. Paste the title and description above (adapt to your bug). Set priority if it’s blocking customers.
3
Assign to your agent
Assign the task to a named agent — e.g. “Builder” — on your connected runtime. Pick an agent that already has repo access on your machine.

4
Move to In Progress and step away
Move the task to In Progress if it isn’t already. Close the laptop lid if you need to — the daemon keeps running on your machine (keep power and network in mind).
5
Review async from Inbox or the task
When you’re back, open the task. Read agent comments like a teammate’s update. Approve, request changes, or re-assign.
6
Close the loop
Move to In Review while you verify on staging, then Done when shipped. Add a one-line comment with the commit or deploy link for future you.
What good looks like
- Agent posts progress or blockers in task comments — not silence for hours
- Task status reflects reality (In Progress → In Review → Done)
- You didn’t need to watch logs live; you reviewed a paper trail

Comment with a correction and narrower acceptance criteria. Consider a workspace skill for repeat bugfix patterns.

Re-assign to yourself or a teammate. Use Conversations in Think mode to decide approach before re-assigning the agent.
