Tasks as Code: Move Tickets to Git
AI coding agents store tasks in Git as Markdown files for version control and review.
In brief
AI coding agents store tasks in Git as Markdown files for version control and review. Teams store development tasks as Markdown files in Git to let AI agents read and update code with version history. Originally reported by Typemill.

Why Store Tasks in Git?
AI coding agents work best when everything they need lives in the repository, so storing tasks in Git improves their workflow.
Tasks as Markdown Files
Tasks are stored as simple Markdown files in Git, next to code and documentation for version control and review.
Docs as Code
Documentation already lives in Markdown files in Git repositories, making it easier for AI agents to understand systems.
Tasks as Code Workflow
AI agents follow a five-step process: describe tasks, analyze requirements, create plans, get approvals, and implement changes.
Example Setup
Teams use three separate Git repositories: code, documentation, and private tasks for security and access control.
Local Implementation
Developers clone documentation and tasks into folders, keeping them separate from the main code repository for version control.
Adding an Interface
Typemill syncs with Git repositories to provide a browser interface for managing tasks and documentation without replacing Git.
Multiple Access Points
Tasks and documentation are accessible through IDEs, GitHub, and Typemill interfaces for different user needs.
What Happens Next
Teams will see new software designed for this model, with AI agents integrated into workflows and simplified ticket systems.
Here's the gist
Teams store development tasks as Markdown files in Git to let AI agents read and update code with version history.
