One task can produce several kinds of result
Task
Fix and explain the checkout timeout
Work happens in sessions and workspaces
Code change
A branch and pull request
Artifact
A saved visual explanation
Preview
The running application
From request to code
- Task
- The goal given to an agent. It can start as your request or an issue from a connected tracker.
- Repository
- The git project an agent works on. A workspace checks out working files from it.
- Branch
- A line of changes in git. A separate git-backed workspace gives work its own branch.
- Pull / merge request
- The reviewable change submitted to your git host. Your team reviews and merges it through its normal process.
Artifact versus preview
| Artifact | Preview | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A saved, versioned result | A running service in a workspace |
| Example | A report or website prototype | The app the agent is building |
| What it depends on | The stored artifact and its access policy | The running service and its worker |
An artifact is not the running application. A preview is not an archive. Save or export the outputs you need before ending the workspace.
