Overview

Zenflow orchestrates agent work across three mechanisms:
  • Structured workflows – Each task type (Quick Change, Fix Bug, Spec and Build, Full SDD) defines a sequence of steps with specific artifacts. Agents follow this structure rather than operating on ad-hoc prompts.
  • Automated verification – Verifier agents run after builder agents to execute tests, lint, security checks, or spec validations. Failures are caught before code reaches you.
  • Parallel execution – Multiple tasks run simultaneously in isolated worktrees. Within a task, different agents can handle independent steps (planning, coding, docs) concurrently.

​
UI Layout

The Zenflow interface is split into three columns, each corresponding to a level of the orchestration hierarchy:
ColumnWhat it shows
Left — RepositoriesRepository list, task cards with status indicators
Middle — Task OverviewWorkflow steps, branch info, diffs (Changes tab), commits
Right — ChatsStep-aware agent conversations, live telemetry, composer for guidance

Repositories

Repositories define the scope and automation presets used across tasks. The left column gives you:
  • Repository switcher & quick menu – Jump between repositories, open in IDE, edit metadata, or delete.
  • Sort options – Sort tasks By repo, By date, or By status. In By repo mode you can also add a new repository or select an existing one from your computer.
  • Task cards – Status indicators for each workflow stage. Each card has Edit, Open in IDE, Duplicate, Archive, and Delete actions.
  • Task creation – The + icon and New task buttons open the workflow-aware creation modal.

​
Tasks

Open any task and the top bar gives you access to all task views:
  • Merge – Merge the task branch when work is ready.
  • To-do – View and manage task steps from plan.md. Toggle Auto-start to let agents run steps hands-free, or click Edit in plan.md to modify steps directly.
  • Files – Browse and search all files in the task worktree. The Task files view shows artifacts like plan.md for quick access.
  • Git – See the task branch, diffs, and committed file changes.
  • Task menu (⋯) – Rename, Open in IDE, Reveal in Finder, Duplicate, Archive, Delete.

​
Subtasks & Chats

The right column is the live agent context:
  • Step-aware tabs – Tabs like Requirements, Technical Specification, or Implementation mirror your plan. Each phase has its own chat log.
  • Live telemetry – Streams the active step, shell commands, file reads, and reasoning so you can watch what agents are doing.
  • Interactive composer – Reference files with @, switch execution modes (DEFAULT, APPROVALS, PLAN), attach artifacts, inject guidance mid-run.
  • Add tab / All Tabs – Spin up additional chat contexts for new subtasks or switch between existing ones.

​
End-to-End Flow

  1. Create a task – Choose the repository, pick a workflow (Quick Change, Fix Bug, Spec and Build, or Full SDD).
  2. Run through steps – Use the Steps tab to view plan.md, enable Auto-start, and watch Changes/Commits as artifacts appear.
  3. Guide via chat – Monitor the right column, provide clarifications, let verifier agents run after builders.
  4. Parallelize – Run multiple tasks per repository or multiple step-specific chats so planning, implementation, and verification happen concurrently.
