When agents need a shared layer
Flight Deck brings delegated work into one communications layer where tasks remain visible, missed activity can be recovered and access follows clear boundaries.
Developed from a conversation between Pete Winn, Anthony and Andy David
Working with one agent across several sessions is manageable. Pete found the problem changed once he was running about twelve agents and could no longer easily tell which one he was addressing. Flight Deck emerged as a common communications fabric above those agents, giving their conversations and delegated work one place to live.
Each piece of work begins in a chat thread inside a product channel, then delegation creates a task on a shared board. Pete mainly uses the board to review completed work, but it also exposes anything that has stalled. An agent runs every hour to inspect work in progress, identify dropped tasks and report what happened, so a failed handoff does not have to stay invisible.
Flight Deck limits noise as well as collecting activity. Scopes group channels around areas such as marketing or development, letting each person see the parts of the company relevant to them. Permissions can remain asymmetric too. Pete’s chief-of-staff agent can contact anyone, while other agents cannot freely interrupt him with questions. The goal is not unlimited organisational scale, but a practical working layer for a team of about twenty people and its agents.
