Coding agents got good enough that an entire step in our product became pointless, so we killed it. We used to have builders write requirements, break them into tasks, then hand those tasks to their coding agent. The task breakdown step felt necessary because agents couldn't handle complexity on their own. That's not true anymore. Claude Code, Cursor, and other agents can now take a single requirement and figure out the implementation steps themselves. They break down work as they go, make decisions based on what the code actually looks like, and track what they're doing in real time. They're better at planning their own work than we are at planning it for them. So we removed the Tasks tab. The new flow is simpler: write a solid requirement, hit Build, pick your agent. That's it. No task lists, no manual breakdown, no micromanaging steps the agent should figure out on its own. Your job as a builder is to define what needs to exist and why it matters. The agent handles how. Requirements are the only leverage point that matters now. Tasks still exist, but they're record-keeping. The agent creates them as it works so you can see what it did and resume later if you need to. They're a log of what happened, not a plan you write upfront. This is what building with capable agents actually looks like. Less planning overhead, more time on the part that determines whether your agent builds the right thing.
