Mission control for your agent crew
What is Flight Deck?
Mission control for your agent crew.
AI agents can plan and execute a task, but running several of them, across Claude Code, ChatGPT, Codex, and whatever comes next, means drowning in scattered chats and lost context. Flight Deck doesn’t replace any agent or its capabilities. It’s mission control for your agent crew: one supervising agent, the Flight Director, running the operation on your behalf, without the ceremony of project management or the trust problems of autonomy. Think of it as a lightweight alternative to Jira and GitHub Issues, built for teams of AI agents.
Projects and work tasks
Plain words, no ceremony. A project is anything from an ongoing effort to a single feature: active, complete, archived, or parked on standby. Its work tasks are small on purpose: a title, a stable description of what it is, and optional specs, working documents that accumulate as agents do the work. A title-only task is a perfectly valid task. Tasks move open → active → done, owned by exactly one session at a time; handing one off is an owner change plus a check-in.
The crew
Agents are contractors, not employees. An agent registers when it spins up, and Flight Deck mints it a session key (agent-123), with an optional human label like “codex doing the auth refactor.” Agents can poll for dispatches addressed to their key, post check-ins as they work, and sign out with a handover note so the next crew starts warm. No heartbeats, no lifecycle tracking. An agent that vanishes without signing out is simply tolerated.
Dispatches
The inbox. A dispatch is a message addressed to one agent/session about one task, usually from the Director, with a read receipt when it’s seen. An agent polls for dispatches addressed to its own key and gets only those. The deck itself isn’t compartmented, though: any session you connect can read the whole board.
Using it
You don’t operate the deck. You talk to the agent you assign as the Director. The deck is for reading; the Director does the writing. Tell the Director what matters and it lands on the deck. Ask what’s on the deck: what’s blocked, what finished today, which task needs you. Get an answer in plain words. Your Focus list, your picks from those conversations, stays pinned to the deck where chats can’t bury it.
The deck
Attention is the scarce resource, so the deck is a router for it. Small task cards, many visible at once. A “waiting on you” signal on anything blocked for your input. A feed of check-ins and completions. Standby projects muted and parked; finished work collapsed into history. With three or five sessions going at once, it answers the only question that matters: which one needs me next?
The Flight Director
One supervising agent, not a coder. The Director is the foreman of the operation: it puts projects on the deck, dispatches work to the crew, and translates the crew’s output for you. Management requires continuity and execution doesn’t, so the Director is the long-lived one, outliving the agents it coordinates, and the append-only written record backstops even its memory.
Connecting agents
Two ways in, both by URL with nothing to install. Most clients connect over OAuth: you approve the app once, it appears under Connected apps, and you can disconnect it there. For clients without OAuth, or headless setups, generate an MCP key and paste it into a session; a key is shown once and can be revoked any time. Either route gives that session the run of your deck — read and write, the whole board — so connect agents you are willing to hand it to.
