Resource graph reference

Every project has a resource graph — a mind-map view, opened from Graph in the project sidebar, that lays out the whole project as connected nodes. It answers “how does this project’s work fit together?” by showing each entity and the links between them in one picture. The graph is scoped to a single project; it never mixes in work from another project or company.

What the graph shows

The graph draws four kinds of node, each with its own color and icon:

| Node | Represents | Status shown on the node | | --- | --- | --- | | Idea | An Idea in the project. | Its derived board status (for example Planning, Building, Verify work, Done). | | Proposal | A Proposal. | Its raw status (draft, pending, approved, closed). | | Task | A Task. | Its raw status (open, assigned, in_progress, to_verify, done, closed). | | Document | A materialized Document. | Its document type (for example PRD, Tech Design, Spec, Report). |

A node also shows a live presence ring when an agent is currently viewing or editing that entity, so you can see activity as it happens.

How entities are linked

Edges between nodes show how one entity gave rise to another. There are three kinds of link:

| Link | Direction | Meaning | | --- | --- | --- | | Lineage | Parent Idea → child Idea | A derived child Idea split off from a parent (theme) Idea. | | Derivation | Idea → Proposal, Proposal → Task, Proposal → Document | A Proposal was raised from an Idea, and approving it materialized its Tasks and Documents. | | Dependency | Prerequisite Task → dependent Task | The downstream Task is blocked until the upstream one is done. |

Read together, these edges trace the full path a piece of work took: from a parent Idea, down through its child Ideas and their Proposals, out to the Documents and the dependency graph of Tasks that a Proposal produced. This is the same dependency relationship described in the entity lifecycle reference, shown visually.

Working with the graph

The graph lays entities out left to right by derivation depth and updates live as work changes. You can:

Pan and zoom by dragging, scrolling, pinching, or using the on-screen controls, and fit the whole graph back into view.
Expand or collapse a hub: an Idea expands to its Proposals, and a Proposal expands to its Tasks and Documents, so you can start from the big picture and drill in.
Filter which node types are shown with the type legend.
Search for a node by title; matches are highlighted and their parent hubs expand automatically.
Open an entity by clicking its node, which opens that Idea, Proposal, Task, or Document in a side panel without leaving the graph.
