Jentrix documentation

Jentrix is a Trello-style task manager with five specialized board kinds (kanban, CRM, support desk, bug tracker, roadmap), built-in automations, and a first-class agent platform: every task operation in the UI is also exposed as an MCP tool, so AI agents work the same boards humans do — with their own identity, scoped tokens, and full audit attribution.

Getting started

GuideWhat it covers
Getting startedSign in, install the CLI and runner, connect Claude Code / Codex, record your first session
Set up your first projectA copy/paste coding-agent prompt that analyzes a repository, proposes a safe Jentrix topology, and creates its board, project, anchor task, and draft harness after approval
User guideEverything in the UI: workspaces, boards & kinds, tasks, filters, saved views, bulk edit, search, My Work, inbox, dashboards, roadmap, contacts, import/export

Product features

GuideWhat it covers
ProjectsProject containers: boards, links, milestones, risks, and success metrics
Platform UISurfaces only a full deployment carries: the operate/configure/evidence rail, the Control Tower execution view, the Decision Register, Contacts, Dashboards, Releases, Harnesses, and import
AutomationsThe rules engine: triggers, actions, the loop guard, managing rules
WebhooksOutbound webhooks: events, HMAC signature verification, retries, security rules
GitHub syncConnect a GitHub App, map repos to boards, two-way Issues sync, identity mapping, loop prevention

Agent platform

GuideWhat it covers
Agent platform (MCP)The MCP server: tokens & scopes, the full tool catalog, resources, prompts, idempotency, concurrency, OAuth 2.1
MCP tool reference (product)The product MCP catalog (the subset every deployment serves, and the MVP's whole surface): the shared tool contract and the generated per-tool table
Agent setup variantsConnecting Claude Code, claude.ai, Codex/ChatGPT, Cursor, custom SDK agents, the reusable Claude/Codex skill pack, and bundled reference agents
Agent workflowsThe plan → review → execute → review loop: the agent-job substrate, the MCP tools, human gates, the agent.handoff webhook, and the external runner
Work ordersBounded, versioned agent briefs: immutable Work Order versions, checksummed Context Packs, launch preview, and quick run

Governance & safety

GuideWhat it covers
Policy engineLayered, most-restrictive-wins policies that gate risky actions before they run
Credential brokerShort-lived, scoped, action-bound credential grants injected only at execution
Skill registrySigned, versioned skills and the immutable skill pins carried by agent releases
Governed memoryMemory nomination, review, promotion, quarantine, expiry, and Context Pack projection
Communication connectorsConnector authorization, inbound normalization, policy-gated outbound delivery, and recovery
Simulation & incidentsDry-run simulation, communication integrations, playbook mining, the incident/postmortem flow, and the MCP write-tool expansion

Software delivery

GuideWhat it covers
Software Delivery OSThe delivery graph over GitHub PRs/checks + Vercel deploys: PR/CI sync, gated merge/deploy, Control Tower delivery queues, DORA + agent-native outcomes, releases, incidents, and playbook mining
Harness AutomationThe governed spec → plan → stage → review → fix → validate → commit harness: the run/stage spine, reusable Runbooks, freeze/commit gates, delivery correlation, Control Tower queues, automations, the dashboard, and playbook mining
Quality & release planeTraces, eval datasets and runs, immutable agent releases, promotion gates, and experiments

CLI

GuideWhat it covers
Overview & quickstartThe jentrix command-line client over the MCP surface: what it is, install in one line, first commands
Install & configInstall channels (npm, npx, tarball, source), token/endpoint precedence, the config file, jentrix login
Command referenceThe jentrix tool escape hatch, generated noun-verb commands, cross-cutting flags, --json output, exit codes
Recipes & scriptingBash and CI patterns: idempotency keys, the CONFLICT merge loop, retries, pagination, jq pipelines
Releasing & distributionThe go-live runbook: publishing to npm, the tag-triggered release CI, verification

Operations

GuideWhat it covers
DeploymentVercel + Neon production setup: env var matrix, cron jobs, OAuth providers, optional services

Looking for product requirement documents? PRDs are planning artifacts, not user documentation — they live in prds/ in the repository.

Quick orientation

  • Production: https://tm.jentrix.ai
  • MCP endpoint: https://tm.jentrix.ai/api/mcp (Streamable HTTP, Bearer auth)
  • Personal access tokens: /account/tokens in the app
  • Repo layout: the Next.js app lives in src/; the standalone reference agents live in agents/; product requirement documents live in prds/; contributor-facing architecture notes are in CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md

The 30-second model

Workspace  →  Board (TASKS | CRM | SUPPORT | BUGS | ROADMAP)
                 →  Column  →  Task (key like STK-123)
                                 ├─ labels, assignees, due date, priority
                                 ├─ subtasks, comments (@mentions), attachments
                                 ├─ kind sidecar: Deal / Ticket / BugReport / Initiative
                                 └─ links to other tasks (BLOCKS, DEPENDS_ON, …)

Humans mutate tasks through the UI; agents mutate them through MCP tools; automations mutate them through rules. All three paths converge on one operations core, so authorization, activity logging, notifications, webhooks, and realtime sync behave identically no matter who — or what — made the change.
