cards · imagineers studio
A working surface for the work that runs across all your projects.
A now-centered timeline over the graph of every brief, plan, decision, task, and memory — across every project you run.
Not Jira, not kanban — those shapes assume teams of humans pulling work from a backlog. In an agent-led shop, work is produced; the human's job is to author intent, decide, review, sign off. Cards is built for that.
A card is three things, bundled.
verb · slice · why now
verb
01 / 03What it's pulling for.
Every card opens with the action it wants from you — review this plan, decide between A and B, sign off this PR, decompose this. One line, unmissable, action-implied.
slice
02 / 03The graph as continuous prose.
Beneath the verb, a slice of the underlying graph reads as a single passage: this thing, what shaped it, what depends on it. You and your agents read the same text.
why now
03 / 03On your surface because…
A small footer states the trigger. A stage transitioned, a dependency lifted, an agent asked a question, a review timed out. The card knows why it interrupted you.
Project is a tag on a card, not a container. Single-project focus is a filter on the tag. The default state is multi-project parallel awareness; focus is a narrowing of the default.
Past, present, and future — in one frame.
the surface
The timeline pins now — the cards currently asking for your attention — at the anchor. Above sits the past: cards whose verb has been acted on. Below sits the future: cards anticipated and queued. Peripheral vision in one direction, action in the other.
Cards sits over the imagineer methodology — a 10-phase task lifecycle and a .context/ scaffold of briefs, plans, designs, decisions, memory, and tasks. It promotes the implicit links between those artifacts to first-class typed edges, so an agent can query the graph rather than grep the markdown.
future
Decompose the storage decision into D1 schema and edge types.
now
Review the timeline-surface plan before the agent starts building.
