| 6 | 6 | | **Home** is the first page of your workspace, at `/<workspace>/-/home`. |
| 7 | | − | It answers three questions, in this order: |
| 7 | + | It opens with **What are we building today?** and a box that |
| 8 | + | [asks g1t](#ask-from-home), then answers three questions, in this order: |
| 8 | 9 | | |
| 9 | 10 | | 1. **Where you're needed**: everything waiting on you, however long ago |
| 10 | 11 | | it started, with the action beside each item. |
| 11 | | − | 2. **What happened while you were away**: what settled by itself and |
| 12 | | − | what went live; what people did; what landed; deploys and spend, |
| 13 | | − | since you were last here. |
| 12 | + | 2. **What happened while you were away**: what changed, in plain |
| 13 | + | English when you ask for it; what settled by itself and what went |
| 14 | + | live; what people did; what landed; deploys and spend, since you were |
| 15 | + | last here. |
| 14 | 16 | | 3. **What is running now**: workflow runs and builds still going. |
| 15 | 17 | | |
| 16 | 18 | | **Start here** picks the one item to do first. |
| ⋯ |
| 21 | 23 | | |
| 22 | 24 | | Every number on the page comes from what g1t has recorded. Nothing is |
| 23 | 25 | | estimated. When a part of g1t does not answer, the section it feeds says |
| 24 | | − | so, and the rest of the page still shows. |
| 26 | + | so, and the rest of the page still shows. Only what you ask g1t is written |
| 27 | + | by a model: [What changed](#what-changed) and the answers in Ask. |
| 28 | + | |
| 29 | + | ## Ask from Home |
| 25 | 30 | | |
| 31 | + | The box at the top asks g1t anything about your work. Type a question and |
| 32 | + | press **Enter** (**Shift+Enter** starts a new line): the top bar's |
| 33 | + | [Ask](/guides/ask/) panel opens and sends it, and the answer streams in |
| 34 | + | there. Under the box are questions to start with: |
| 35 | + | |
| 36 | + | | Starter | What it does | |
| 37 | + | | --- | --- | |
| 38 | + | | **Summarize what changed since I was last here** | Writes a summary of the span into [What changed](#what-changed), further down the page, and brings it into view. Over another span it says so, such as **Summarize what changed in the last 7 days** | |
| 39 | + | | **What needs me first?** | Asks which things need you, most urgent first, one line each on what to do | |
| 40 | + | | **What shipped today?** | Asks what shipped today: what is live, what is still deploying, and what failed | |
| 41 | + | | **Who's working on what?** | Asks who is working on what right now, and whether anything is stuck | |
| 42 | + | |
| 43 | + | Everything you ask from Home goes to your |
| 44 | + | [direct message with @g1t](/guides/ask/#one-conversation-in-ask-and-in-chat), |
| 45 | + | as a question asked in Ask does, so you can carry on from it in Ask or in |
| 46 | + | Chat. It answers with your workspace's own AI provider, so an owner has to |
| 47 | + | [set Ask up](/guides/ask/#set-it-up) first. Until then, or while g1t is |
| 48 | + | still answering an earlier question, the panel opens with your question |
| 49 | + | in its box rather than sending it, so nothing you typed is lost. |
| 50 | + | |
| 26 | 51 | | ## Where you're needed |
| 27 | 52 | | |
| 28 | 53 | | This list has no time window: something that started waiting a week ago |
| ⋯ |
| 38 | 63 | | A notification about something already on the list, such as a pull |
| 39 | 64 | | request whose row is there, is left out. |
| 40 | 65 | | |
| 66 | + | Each row's button takes you to the place where you act on it: **See the |
| 67 | + | build** for a failed production build, **Review** for a review asked of |
| 68 | + | you, **Respond** for an invitation, **Look** for a job waiting for a |
| 69 | + | runner or your pull request that can't land (**Review** when it waits |
| 70 | + | for a verdict), **Reply** for a message, and |
| 71 | + | **Open** for a notification. Your pull request that is ready to merge, |
| 72 | + | marked **Ready to merge**, says **Open** too: it opens the pull request, |
| 73 | + | where you merge it. Nothing on Home merges on the spot. |
| 74 | + | |
| 41 | 75 | | Rows are ordered most pressing first, by tier, then by how long each has |
| 42 | 76 | | waited, longest first: |
| 43 | 77 | | |
| ⋯ |
| 57 | 91 | | **Start here** is the first row of Where you're needed: the most pressing |
| 58 | 92 | | tier, and within it the row that has waited longest. g1t picks it with |
| 59 | 93 | | that rule, so the same rows always give the same pick. |
| 60 | | − | The card shows who is on it, the next action, how long it has waited, what |
| 61 | | − | is at stake, and why it was picked. |
| 94 | + | The card shows who is on it (**Owner**), the step it waits for (**Next**, |
| 95 | + | such as **Merge** or **Review**), how long it has waited (**Waiting**), |
| 96 | + | what is at stake (**At stake**), and **Why this one**, such as |
| 97 | + | "Everything it needs is met; it lands when you merge it." When others in |
| 98 | + | its tier are waiting too, it adds that this one has waited longest. |
| 62 | 99 | | |
| 100 | + | Its title links to what it picked: the pull request, issue or build. The |
| 101 | + | button under it opens the same place. For a pull request (one ready to |
| 102 | + | merge, a review asked of you, or yours that is stuck) it says **Open pull |
| 103 | + | request**; you merge or review there. For anything else it names the |
| 104 | + | action, such as **See the build** or **Respond**. |
| 105 | + | |
| 63 | 106 | | ## Since you were last here |
| 64 | 107 | | |
| 65 | 108 | | Home remembers when you were last on it, for each workspace, with your |
| ⋯ |
| 104 | 147 | | When Code and Chat both failed to answer, the sentence ends with "what |
| 105 | 148 | | people did couldn't be read" rather than reading as quiet. |
| 106 | 149 | | |
| 150 | + | ### What changed |
| 151 | + | |
| 152 | + | The first card, **What changed**, has g1t tell you what happened in the |
| 153 | + | span in plain English: what changed, why, and what is live. It is not |
| 154 | + | written until you ask, since each summary is a call to your workspace's |
| 155 | + | AI provider: |
| 156 | + | |
| 157 | + | 1. Choose **Summarize** on the card, or the |
| 158 | + | [starter](#ask-from-home) **Summarize what changed since I was last |
| 159 | + | here** at the top of the page. |
| 160 | + | 2. g1t's summary streams into the card as it is written. It reads g1t as |
| 161 | + | you, as [Ask](/guides/ask/#what-it-can-read) does, so it covers only |
| 162 | + | what you can see. |
| 163 | + | 3. When it is finished: |
| 164 | + | - **Ask a follow-up** opens the top bar's Ask on the same |
| 165 | + | conversation, so you can ask about anything in the summary. |
| 166 | + | - **Summarize again** writes a new one. |
| 167 | + | - **In your direct message with g1t** opens the conversation in Chat, |
| 168 | + | where the summary is kept. |
| 169 | + | |
| 170 | + | The question g1t is sent reads as you would ask it, with the span's start |
| 171 | + | in your time zone: "Summarize what changed since I was last here (2:12 |
| 172 | + | PM) in plain English." Choosing another span with the switch starts the |
| 173 | + | card over. When Ask is not set up, the card says so: owners get a link to |
| 174 | + | connect a provider and choose it for Ask, and members are told to ask an |
| 175 | + | owner. |
| 176 | + | |
| 107 | 177 | | ### While you were away |
| 108 | 178 | | |
| 109 | | − | The first card says what finished by itself in the span, and what is |
| 179 | + | The next card says what finished by itself in the span, and what is |
| 110 | 180 | | live. (Over **Last 24 hours** and **Last 7 days** it is called **Settled |
| 111 | 181 | | for you**.) Its first line counts: |
| 112 | 182 | | |
| ⋯ |
| 162 | 232 | | grouped by day (**Today**, **Yesterday**, **Sun, Oct 11**), five of each |
| 163 | 233 | | day showing. |
| 164 | 234 | | |
| 235 | + | #### Explain a change |
| 236 | + | |
| 237 | + | Every row has an **Explain** button (the sparkle beside its time, |
| 238 | + | "Explain this change in plain English"). It opens the top bar's |
| 239 | + | [Ask](/guides/ask/) and asks g1t about that one change: |
| 240 | + | |
| 241 | + | | Row | What g1t is asked | |
| 242 | + | | --- | --- | |
| 243 | + | | A merge or a push | "Explain pull request #47 in acme/web in plain English: what changed, why, and is it live?" (or the commit, for a push) | |
| 244 | + | | A production build | What went out in that deployment | |
| 245 | + | | A release or a package version | What's new in it | |
| 246 | + | |
| 247 | + | The answer is kept in your direct message with @g1t, like everything you |
| 248 | + | [ask from Home](#ask-from-home). |
| 249 | + | |
| 165 | 250 | | #### Live after merge |
| 166 | 251 | | |
| 167 | 252 | | Each merge and push says whether it is live yet, for a project that |
| ⋯ |
| 255 | 340 | | deployments or sessions can't be read, Landed shows its rows without |
| 256 | 341 | | their live labels or agent markers. |
| 257 | 342 | | - While you were away says when your notifications can't be read. |
| 343 | + | - What changed says when Ask can't be reached or isn't set up, or when |
| 344 | + | the question could not be sent. |
| 258 | 345 | | - If your last visit can't be read, the span is the last 24 hours and the |
| 259 | 346 | | page says why. |
