Project-wide Plan/Task Management

Tracker Panel

Click on the task list icon on the left rail to open the Tracker panel.

• Review, filter, and click items in your list

• Clicking on a tracked item shows you the file in which it is located in the top editor

• Double-click any tracker row with a file association to open it directly in the editor

• Adjust status and field values in this view

Kanban for Trackers

Trackers support a kanban board view so you can visualize your work across phases. Drag items between columns to update their status.

Custom Tracker Types

You can instruct the Nimbalyst agent to create custom tracker types beyond the built-in ones. For example, you could create tracker types for "epics", "milestones", "content pieces", or anything that fits your workflow.

Skills for Trackers

Write a skill (and edit the markdown) that tells the agent how to handle your trackers. For example, a skill could say "whenever I am writing, working on, or publishing a blog, keep track of its tracker state for me and move it to the correct state." This lets you automate tracker management through your agent conversations.

Plans

Nimbalyst supports two approaches to planning:

Quick plans (via /plan): Uses Claude Code's default planning model — a temporary plan is created, given a name, used for implementation, and then discarded. These plans are not integrated with the tracker system.

Long-lived plans: Write a thoughtful plan in markdown that outlines goals, strategy, and features. Update it with your architecture and implementation overview. Keep this as a long-lived document. To work this way, create a custom / command or skill (e.g., /spec) and have it integrate with the tracker system. This approach keeps your plans visible, versioned, and connected to your task tracking.
