Referencing Tracker Items

You can drop a live reference to any tracker item into a document or an AI chat. The reference renders as a chip that shows the item's current status and title, and it stays current as the item changes.

Insert a reference with

In a document, type # and start typing to search your items by key, title, or description. Pick one from the list to insert it as a chip. Typing ## or ### still creates a heading, so your markdown headings are unaffected.

  • Narrow the search to one type by including its name, for example type #bug to list only bugs, then keep typing to filter.

  • Archived items are left out of the picker.

Type # to search your items. Add a type name, like #bug, to narrow the list.

The same reference works in the AI chat, so you can point the agent at a specific item as you talk to it.

What the chip shows

A reference chip shows a colored status dot, the item's key or id, and its title. Because it reads the item live, the dot and title update on their own as the item moves through its workflow.

Click a chip to open a preview with the item's status, type, and priority, plus a Go to item button that takes you straight to it. If the underlying item can't be found (it was deleted, or has not synced to this machine yet), the chip shows the identifier in muted text and marks it as not resolved.

In raw markdown, a reference is stored as a link using the nimbalyst:// scheme, so it survives round-tripping through plain text.

References from the AI

When an agent mentions a tracker item in chat, it links the item as the same clickable chip instead of plain text. You get the live status at a glance and can click through to the item without hunting for it.
