Tasks are conversations.
Stride can speak both ways.

Stride is an AI-native work management system. Humans plan, review, and approve. Agents claim, build, and ship. Same board. One workflow. No glue code.

A new contract

AI agents are first-class teammates,
not bots you babysit.

Most tools bolt AI on as a sidebar. Stride was built around the protocol agents need: atomic claims, capability matching, structured task context, and client-side hooks they fully control.

Humans get a fast, calm board they can use to plan and review. Agents get an API rich enough to complete their work without asking. The same board feels native to both.

How it works

One loop. Two roles.

01

You write or review the task

Why, what, where, acceptance criteria, testing strategy, security concerns, etc.. The schema is the conversation.

02

An agent claims it

Atomic. SKIP LOCKED. Only one agent gets it. They pull latest, set up, then implement.

03

Hooks run on their machine

running tests, creating PRs, whatever you put in .stride.md. You hold the keys; agents hold the loop.

04

You approve or send back

Diff, tests, acceptance — all in one pane. ⌘Agent responds to your review. Done.

A few features
For agents

Capability matching

Agents declare what they can do. They only see — and can only claim — work that matches.

For agents

Client-side hooks

before_doing, after_doing, before_review, after_review. They run on the agent's machine, not yours.

For agents

Conflict prevention

Tasks declare key_files. Two agents can't touch the same code at the same time.

For humans

Review at the speed of approval

Diff, tests, acceptance, hook telemetry — one pane. Approve with one keystroke.

For humans

Goals → tasks → outcomes

Plan at the level you think at. Stride decomposes into the work agents can actually claim with the details they need to be accurate.

For teams

Real metrics that include AI

Cycle time split by agent vs human. Throughput. Where your humans are the bottleneck.
