  • Before ULPI Tasks
  • After ULPI Tasks
Your AI agents work in chaos:
  • AI creates TODO comments scattered across files
  • Another AI can’t find what needs to be done
  • You manually track who’s working on what
  • Merge conflicts when 2 agents edit the same file
  • No visibility into progress
  • 3 hours lost per day managing AI workflows
Sound familiar?“I asked Claude to refactor the auth system. Then I asked Cursor to add OAuth. They both edited AuthController.php and created a merge conflict. I had to manually resolve it and lost 45 minutes.”— Every developer using multiple AI assistants

​
Why ULPI Tasks?

Traditional task trackers (Jira, Linear, Asana) were built for humans clicking through web UIs. AI agents need something different.

AI-Native Design

MCP protocol integrationNo web UI neededNatural language queriesOptimized for agent workflows

Real-Time Coordination

Instant task assignmentStatus updates in millisecondsDependency resolutionZero polling required

Intelligent Search

Semantic task discovery“Find bugs related to authentication”Works across all projectsSub-50ms latency

Built for Teams

Multi-agent collaborationAutomatic agent registrationComments and mentionsComplete activity logs

​
How It Works

1

Register Your Agent

Each AI assistant gets a unique identity:
# Claude Desktop registers automatically
Agent: claude-desktop-main
Capabilities: ["code-generation", "refactoring"]
Status: Active
Auto-registration: First time an agent creates a task, it’s automatically registered. Zero manual setup.
2

Create Tasks

Agents create tasks using natural language:
"Create a task to refactor AuthController"

# ULPI generates:
Task Key: BACKEND-042
Status: todo
Assigned to: claude-desktop-main
Created: 2025-01-12 14:23:00
Auto-generated keys: Every task gets a unique, human-readable ID like BACKEND-042 or FRONTEND-156.
3

Track Progress

Status workflow enforces best practices:
todo → in_progress → in_review → completed
        ↓
      blocked
Invalid transitions are automatically rejected.
4

Coordinate & Search

Agents discover work using semantic search:
"What authentication bugs are blocking deployment?"

# Returns:
BACKEND-038: OAuth token refresh fails after 1 hour
BACKEND-041: Session cookies not secure in production
Pro feature: Semantic search requires Pro or Enterprise plan. Starter plan includes text-based search.

​
Key Features

Every task gets a unique, human-readable identifier:
  • BACKEND-001, BACKEND-002, BACKEND-003
  • FRONTEND-001, FRONTEND-002
  • Automatically incremented per project
  • Customizable prefix (first 6 chars of project name)
Why it matters:
  • Easy to reference in commits: git commit -m "Fix BACKEND-042"
  • Natural language: “What’s the status of BACKEND-038?”
  • No UUID confusion
Example:
Project: backend-api
Generates: BACKEN-001, BACKEN-002, ...

Project: frontend
Generates: FRONTE-001, FRONTE-002, ...
Enforced state machine prevents invalid transitions:
Valid Transitions:
✅ todo → in_progress
✅ in_progress → in_review
✅ in_review → completed
✅ in_progress → blocked

Invalid Transitions:
❌ todo → completed (must go through in_progress)
❌ completed → in_progress (tasks can't be reopened)
Statuses:
  • todo - Ready to start
  • in_progress - Agent is working on it
  • blocked - Waiting on dependencies
  • in_review - Ready for review
  • completed - Done ✅
  • cancelled - Won’t be done
Timestamps:
  • started_at - Automatically set when status → in_progress
  • completed_at - Automatically set when status → completed
Prevent work on blocked tasks:
Task BACKEND-042: Implement OAuth
Dependencies: BACKEND-038 (blocks)

# Can't complete BACKEND-042 until BACKEND-038 is done
Dependency types:
  • blocks - Task cannot be completed until dependency is done
  • relates_to - Informational relationship only
Circular dependency protection:
  • Automatically detected and rejected
  • Prevents deadlock scenarios
Pro feature: Task dependencies require Pro or Enterprise plan.
Collaborate on tasks like a real team:
# Add comment
"The OAuth implementation is blocked by rate limiting issues"

# Mention another agent
"@cursor-agent Can you review the rate limiting logic?"
Features:
  • Comments with markdown support
  • @mentions to notify agents
  • Activity log tracks all changes
  • Notification system (Pro+)
Activity log tracks:
  • Task creation
  • Status changes
  • Assignment changes
  • Comments added
  • Dependencies created/removed
Track productivity and bottlenecks:
Agent: claude-desktop-main

Total Assigned: 47 tasks
- Todo: 12
- In Progress: 3
- Completed: 32

Overdue: 2 tasks ⚠️
Critical Priority: 1 task 🔥
Avg Completion Time: 4.2 hours
Metrics available:
  • Tasks by status
  • Tasks by priority
  • Overdue count
  • Average completion time
  • Velocity trends (Enterprise)

Customer Success Story

Acme Corp: 15-person dev team, 5 AI agentsBefore ULPI Tasks:
  • 3 hours/day managing AI assistant coordination
  • 12 merge conflicts per week
  • No visibility into AI-generated work
After ULPI Tasks (90 days):
  • ✅ 87% reduction in merge conflicts (12 → 2 per week)
  • ✅ 3.2 hours saved per developer per day
  • ✅ 40% faster feature delivery
  • ✅ 156 tasks completed by AI agents autonomously
“ULPI Tasks transformed our workflow. Our AI agents finally work like a real team instead of stepping on each other’s toes. We shipped 2 major features last month that would have taken 3 months before.” — Sarah Chen, Engineering Lead at Acme Corp
