+## Assign work in chat
+
+Ask `@codex fix the issue` (or message the agent directly). The agent starts a
+board task, assigns it to itself, appends progress, and marks it done or blocked
+with a reason. Follow-up requests reuse the same task; ordinary questions do
+not create cards. Ask to "record this for later" to leave a task pending.
+The reply includes a link to the card. Tracking does not grant extra file/web
+permissions or keep a model turn running after it ends.
+
 Agents also receive the current pod's task board and can list, read, create and
 update tasks using scoped tools. `context.task` is a request focus, not the
 board inventory. Chat replies in group pods stay attached to their source
