Smart Default

Based on your team profile

Configuring Features

Workspace Settings

Access Workspace Settings from the gear icon in the header. Here you can:

Toggle feature bundles on/off for all boards
Update your team profile
Apply a workspace template
Export/import settings for backup or transfer

Board Settings

Access Board Settings from the board menu. Each feature can be set to:

Inherit from workspace — Uses the workspace default
Always enabled — Force on for this board
Always disabled — Force off for this board

This is useful for boards with different purposes. For example, you might have a "Experiments" board with Learning Loop enabled, and a "Maintenance" board with it disabled.

MCP Agent Awareness

AI agents connected via MCP are aware of your feature configuration. They can:

Query configuration: The get_feature_config tool returns which features are enabled and your team profile.
Conditional tools: TDD Workflow and Learning Loop tools only appear when those features are enabled.
Team context: Agents see your team size, roles, and development approach to tailor suggestions.

# Example: Agent querying feature config

✅ Balanced Team: OFF

✅ Learning Loop: ON

✅ TDD Workflow: ON

✅ AI Tools: ON

Team: 5 engineers, Lean Startup approach

Export & Import

You can export your workspace settings to a JSON file for backup or transfer to another workspace.

To export: Workspace Settings → Show Advanced Options → Export Settings

To import: Workspace Settings → Show Advanced Options → Import Settings → Upload JSON or paste
