Sightdeck AI

User Guide

Your first task

Add a project, drop an idea into the backlog, watch Claude pick it up. Two minutes from a clean install to a green tile.

Add your first project

  1. Click Add Project in the sidebar — or drop a project folder onto the window.
  2. Pick the folder of any Git repository you work in. Sightdeck AI starts watching it for task changes and updates the board live.
  3. Set a prefix (e.g. SD, MO, WB). The app prefills one from the folder name — override if a teammate already established a convention.
  4. Optional: set a language (English or German) and a few tags for filtering. You can change all of this later.

The project now appears in the sidebar. Add as many as you want — they all stream into the same dashboard.

Drop your first idea

  1. At the top of the backlog, click the Quick-Add field.
  2. Type the request — a sentence, a paragraph, even a pasted Slack rant. Hit Enter.
  3. Sightdeck AI creates the task in backlog immediately and sends it to Refinement in the background. Independent topics become separate tasks; pieces that only make sense together become an Epic parent plus subtasks.
  4. While Refinement runs, the card carries a Refining… pill. When it settles, title, summary, estimate, story points and model are filled in. Click the card to edit anything.
Sightdeck AI kanban board with backlog, active and done columns; a newly added task sits at the top of the backlog column
Kanban board — backlog, active and done columns, with a freshly added task at the top.

Start the task

  1. Hover the task. Click the small ▶ Start button on the right.
  2. A fresh Claude CLI session opens in the project's directory, the task prompt is pre-loaded, and the status flips to active.
  3. The task hops from the backlog into Running Tasks as its own lane.
  4. When Claude finishes, the lane shows done in green. Done.
