Most of what happens in a project, an agent does. Here are the ways to hand it the work.

Your own agent

Your agent connects with your own sign-in, from one prompt you paste to it. If your team’s project is not there yet, set it up; if it is, join it. From then on it reads the project before its first write, and what it files because you told it carries your name.

A part of the queue

Every open status has a prompt: the text that hands an agent the cards in that status. Copy it from Prompts in the bar, which lists one row per status with how many cards it would hand over; from the button on a group in the list, such as Investigate or Build; or from Copy prompt on a card, for that card alone. Copying takes a member’s sign-in or an edit link. The prompt names the project, never an address, so paste it to an agent that is already connected or already holds the project’s link. The prompts come in two kinds. Where the call is a person’s (Triage, Awaiting decision, Needs verification), the agent prepares each card, waits for your word, and records what you decided in your name. Where the call is the agent’s (Investigating, Ready to build, Blocked), it does the work and moves the card itself. These are the prompts a new project starts with; when you copy one, {project} becomes the project’s name and {scope} the cards you hand over:
A few more prompts are for moments that come round in any session rather than for a status. An agent that can write sees their titles in the project’s document and fetches one by title when its moment comes; a prompt you hide is not listed.
Every prompt is yours to reword, in Settings → Prompts. A project stores only the prompts it changed, so a better default still reaches a project that left it alone. An agent that can’t connect over MCP, or that works for someone outside your team, works from a link. Make one in Share, one per person. Send it with the name of whoever the agent works for; not told, it asks once before its first write. What a link allows: Who can do what →. What the agent fetches from it: For agents →

Run it from a card

With witness for Mac, open a card and press Start a session. Your own Claude Code or Codex gets the card’s prompt, works in its own copy of each repository on a branch of its own, and what it does comes back to the card. Sessions →
