Edit a Task
Edit a task's title, body and acceptance criteria right in its detail dialog, with the body in Markdown across Write, Preview and Split. A Rewrite with AI bar drafts changes from a plain instruction and lands them in the editor for you to read and Save.

Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Tasks used to be write-once: a typo in the title or a brief that turned out too vague meant deleting the card and starting over. Now the detail dialog is an editor — fix the title, expand the acceptance criteria, or hand the whole thing to an AI with an instruction like “tighten this”. Every AI rewrite arrives as a draft you read before it is saved, so nothing changes behind your back.
How It Works
Get started in 4 simple steps
Open the task's detail dialog
Open a task and press Edit — or the Edit button on the task card, which opens straight into the editor.
Write in Markdown
The body is Markdown with Write / Preview / Split. Split shows the source and the rendered task side by side.
Ask an AI to rewrite it
The Rewrite with AI bar takes an instruction like tighten this or add acceptance criteria; a Rewrite with picker chooses which CLI does it.
Read the draft, then Save
The reply lands in the editor as a draft. Nothing is written until you press Save, so you always read it first.
