How to hand an agent a task card with the graph context with Flare

Turn a piece of work into a board card and give the agent a brief with the dependency facts attached.

Who it is forA developer who wants an agent to take a specific change and needs it to start from the map of the repo, not from a blank context.

The problemAgents burn much of their context rediscovering which files a change touches and what depends on them.

The outcomeThe agent starts from a brief that names the files and what the graph knows about them, and its progress shows up on the card.

What you need first

  • Flare, either as the desktop app or served to a browser from the machine the agent runs on
  • A terminal agent such as claude, codex or opencode, run inside Flare's terminal
  • A local project repo for the agent to work on

Steps

  1. Open Flare on the project, either as the desktop app or in a browser served from the machine the agent runs on.
  2. In the control panel, open Tasks and add a card for the work.
  3. In the graph, select the relevant files, right-click and choose New task with these files to file the card from the selection.
  4. Click Copy for agent on the card and paste the brief into a session started with claude or codex in Flare's terminal.
  5. Watch the card move as the agent logs progress with task_update and moves it to review.

Prompt for your agent

In the Flare board for <project>, call tasks_list for the first lane, then task_get on the card <task id> and carry out the brief it returns. Expected output: a progress note sent with task_update and the card moved to review. Verify that the card now shows the new status in the Tasks panel.

Caveat. Flare's MCP tools and the Copy for agent brief are described in the README, but the README does not give install commands, so setup steps depend on the Flare download you use.
