Issue Tracking

The Issues section aggregates issues from every connected repository into a single Kanban board. You can create new issues, filter by label or status, and delegate any issue directly to an AI agent — without opening a browser.

Kanban Board

Issues are displayed in columns that reflect their current status. The default columns are:

• Backlog — issues not yet scheduled
• Todo — scheduled but not started
• In Progress — actively being worked on
• Done — completed issues

Drag and drop cards between columns to update their status. Changes are pushed back to GitHub immediately.

Creating an Issue

• Click New task (or the + button at the top of any column)
• Select the repository the issue belongs to
• Write a title and description — the description editor supports markdown, task lists, and slash commands
• Set labels, priority, and assignee
• Click Save — the issue is created on GitHub and appears in the board immediately

Slash commands in the issue editor

Type / in the description field to insert:

• Task lists with checkboxes
• Code blocks with syntax highlighting
• Headings, dividers, and other rich content

Issue Detail

Click any issue card to open the detail sheet. From here you can:

• Edit the title and description
• Change the status, labels, priority, and assignee
• Read existing comments
• Delegate the issue to an AI agent (see below)

Delegating to an AI Agent

Any issue can be sent to an AI agent with one click.

• Open the issue detail sheet
• Click Assign to agent
• Select the target repository and thread (or create a new thread from this issue)
• The agent receives the full issue context — title, description, labels — as its starting prompt
• Monitor progress in the Agents workspace

You can also create an agent thread from any issue directly from the Agents sidebar using Add new thread → From issue.

Filtering Issues

Use the filter controls above the board to narrow down which issues are shown:

• Repository — show issues from a specific repository or all repositories
• Labels — filter by one or more labels (e.g. bug, feature, ui)
• Assignee — show only issues assigned to you or a specific person
• Priority — filter by high, medium, or low priority

Issue Scope

By default, Unified Dev shows issues assigned to you across your connected repositories. You can change the scope in Settings → Behaviour → Default Issues Scope:

• My queue — only issues assigned to you
• All open — all open issues across selected repositories

You can also override the scope per organization in Settings → Sync → Per-organization overrides.

Syncing Issues

Issues are synced automatically in the background. You can trigger a manual sync from any repository detail page using the Sync Issues button. Configure sync frequency in Settings → Sync.
