Interactive Task Checklists

The Core Concept: Sypha ensures you never lose momentum during multi-stage projects by maintaining an interactive, persistent "Task Todo List" directly within the interface.

Strategic Value: Sophisticated engineering workflows involve dozens of independent steps (e.g., refactoring logic, updating tests, modifying docs). Without a structured checklist, it’s easy to suffer from "context drop" or duplicate critical effort.

Triggering a Checklist

Automatic Initiation

Sypha automatically initializes a checklist for:

• Multi-phase requests that involve dependencies.
• High-level architectural shifts.
• Tasks initiated in Architect or Orchestrator modes.

Manual Initiation

You can explicitly prompt a checklist at any time:

• "Create a todo list for this feature."
• "Initialize a checklist to track these changes."

Checklist Visibility Tiers

1. Task Global Summary

A high-level progress bar and "Current Action" indicator at the top of your workspace. It provides an instant status check without scrolling.

2. Interactive Logic Block

The detailed checklist reveals the full project scope. Here you can:

• Verify completed milestones.
• Review upcoming architectural steps.
• Provide feedback on proposed logic before Sypha executes the next phase.

3. Agent Memory Space

The checklist resides in Sypha’s "Active Reminders" context, ensuring the agent remains focused on the primary objective even during long-running sessions.

Decoding Task Status

• Pending (Empty Circle): Logic that has been outlined but not yet initiated.
• In Progress (Active Indicator): The specific milestone Sypha is currently processing.
• Completed (Success Marker): Verified work that has been finalized and integrated.

Strategic Tips

• Auto-Approval Momentum: If you are working on a routine, many-step task, enable Auto-Approval for checklist updates to minimize UI interruptions. See the Automated Actions Guide for details.
• Authority Loop: While Sypha proposes the project steps, you retain ultimate authority. You can request modifications to the project outline before the agent begins work.
• Focus Heuristics: Sypha intelligently skips checklists for simple, atomic requests where a formal outline would introduce unnecessary friction.
