Short answer

How can I use my AI to handle task checklists?

You tell your AI to break a large ticket into smaller pieces, and it creates those sub-items for you. You can then check them off or list them all out using simple chat commands. This turns a messy ticket into a clear, actionable list.

Task outcomes

Where your tasks land.

The AI moves data between these states based on your instructions.

SUB-ITEMS

Granular ticket breakdowns

The AI takes a single complex ticket and splits it into specific, manageable steps. You get a clean list of sub-tasks ready for work.

STATUS

Real-time progress tracking

As you finish work, your AI updates the checklist status. This keeps your ticket data in sync with what you actually accomplished.

OVERVIEW

Complete checklist visibility

You can pull up every item in a checklist at once. This gives you a bird's-eye view of what's left to do without digging through menus.

HUMAN

Manual oversight required

The AI handles the repetitive clicking and typing. You still decide which tasks are actually finished and which ones need more time.

The workflow

What your AI does when a ticket arrives.

The AI acts as the interface between your chat and the GitScrum database.

  1. Deconstruct tickets

    When you give the AI a complex task, it generates individual sub-items to make it manageable.

    create_checklist_item

  2. Update progress

    You tell the AI which parts are done, and it marks them as complete in the system.

    toggle_checklist_item

  3. Audit work

    The AI pulls the current state of your checklists so you can see exactly where things stand.

    list_checklists

  4. Verify details

    You can ask the AI to confirm specific items exist or check if a certain sub-task was completed.
