Projects, Issues & Schedules

Nexora’s productivity layer consists of three interconnected systems: Projects for structured multi-agent work, Issues for granular task and bug tracking, and Schedules for autonomous recurring agent execution. Together they turn Nexora from a chat interface into a fully operational project management environment.

Projects

Projects Page (/projects)

The Projects page opens with a “Projects” heading and a subtitle that reads “0 projects · each gets a dedicated PM agent” — a reminder that every project you create is automatically paired with a Project Manager sub-agent.

Page controls:

• “New Project” button — top right, launches the creation modal
• Filter chips: All (0) · Active (0)
• Search input: “Search by name or description…”

Empty state displays:

• “No projects yet” heading
• “Create your first project” button

Creating a Project

Click “New Project” to open the creation modal.

The modal collects:

• Name — the project’s display name, shown in the projects list and on issue cards
• Description — optional context about the project’s goal or scope
• Configuration — additional project settings such as status, visibility, and linked agents

Once created, the project appears in the list and is immediately accessible to all agents in your workspace, particularly the Project Manager and Scrum Master agents.

Dedicated PM Agents

The dedicated PM agent can:

• Break a high-level goal into a structured plan
• Spawn specialist agents (Developer, Designer, DevOps, etc.) to execute individual steps
• Mark steps complete as results arrive
• Iterate on incomplete steps before closing the objective
• Report a final summary to the user when all steps are done

To interact with the project’s PM agent directly, open a chat in the workspace and select the project-specific agent from the agent picker.

Project Kanban Board

Each project includes a kanban board accessible at /projects/[id]/board. The board shows all issues linked to the project, organised by status column (e.g. Backlog, In Progress, In Review, Done).

The Project Manager agent has direct write access to the kanban board. You can say things like:

• “Create a task for the login page redesign and assign it to the designer agent”
• “Move the authentication bug to In Review”
• “Show me everything in the Backlog for Project X”

and Project Manager will update the board in real time.

Project Status Filters

The filter chips on the Projects page let you narrow the list:

Additional status values (e.g. Completed, Archived) appear as chips once projects with those statuses exist.

Issues

Issues Page (/issues)

The Issues page is a workspace-wide issue tracker for bugs, feature requests, and tasks. Issues can exist independently of a project or be linked to one.

Key features:

• Create issues with a title, description, priority, and status
• Link issues to a project to have them appear on the project’s kanban board
• Assign issues to agents or team members
• Filter issues by status, priority, project, and assignee
• View issue history and comments

Issue Lifecycle

A typical issue moves through the following states:

Open → In Progress → In Review → Done

Issues can also be marked as Closed (resolved without completion) or Won’t Fix.

Working with Issues from Chat

The Project Manager agent is the primary interface for issue management from chat. Example interactions:

• “Create a bug report for the login timeout issue with high priority”
• “List all open issues in the authentication project”
• “Mark issue #42 as done”
• “Assign the CSS bug to the Designer agent”

The Issue Analyst built-in agent (available in the Agents page) goes further — it triages, categorises, and prioritises issues and can sync state with GitLab and GitHub repositories.

Schedules

Schedules Page (/schedules)

The Schedules page lists all configured cron-based agent triggers. Each schedule defines an agent to run, a cron expression that controls when it runs, and optional parameters passed to the agent at runtime.

Page controls:

• “New Schedule” button — top right, opens the schedule creation modal
• Schedule list with name, cron expression, assigned agent, status, and last-run timestamp

Creating a Schedule

Click “New Schedule” to open the creation modal.

The modal collects:

Common cron expressions:

Schedule-Managed Agents

The schedule_manage skill (used by the Scrum Master agent) allows agents to create and manage schedules programmatically from chat. This means you can ask the Scrum Master:

• “Set up a daily standup at 09:00 every weekday”
• “Schedule a weekly project review every Friday at 16:00”
• “Pause all schedules for this week”

and it will create or modify the schedule entries without you having to open the Schedules page.

Schedule Channel vs. Schedule Page

There are two places schedules appear in Nexora:

Use the Schedules page for most automation. Use a Schedule-type Channel when you also want the agent’s output delivered to an external platform after each run.

How the Three Systems Interconnect

Projects, Issues, and Schedules are designed to work together:

Project (goal)
  └── Issues (work items on kanban board)
  └── Schedules (recurring reviews, standups, reports)
  └── Dedicated PM agent (orchestrates everything)

A typical workflow:

1. Create a Project for a new feature launch
2. The PM agent decomposes it into Issues and populates the kanban board
3. Set up a Schedule for a Friday 16:00 weekly review — the PM agent summarises progress
4. The Scrum Master runs a daily standup Schedule that pings each assigned agent for status
5. As issues are completed, the kanban board updates automatically
