CUA Driver seems to have solved it

CUA Driver seems to have solved it

Well, I wasn’t aware of that. I hadn’t installed the CUA Driver, somehow it was missing on my Mac. Now I have installed it and seems to solve several significant issues where actually browser interaction is necessary. Just wanted to share it in case people struggling also with workflows where the AI agent needs to use browser properly.

Been using the Kanban board for a few days now and I love the concept, but I ran into two things that seem like either bugs or missing pieces.

  1. Unassigned tasks auto-promote from TODO to READY

If I create a task without an assignee and put it in TODO, the dispatcher automatically promotes it to READY within 60 seconds. The recompute_ready() function treats parentless tasks as "all dependencies satisfied" (because all() on an empty list is True in Python), so they get bumped immediately.

The dispatcher then skips them because there's no assignee, but the task is already sitting in READY instead of TODO. There's no way to use TODO as a manual queue, it's basically a staging state that the dispatcher bypasses.

From the official docs: TODO created but waiting on dependencies, or not yet assigned." But in practice, unassigned tasks with no parents land in READY right away, which defeats the purpose.

  1. Triage doesn't flesh out anything, the P9 specifier pattern isn't built

The docs describe "P9 Triage specifier" as a pattern: rough idea → triage → AI specifier expands body → todo. The dashboard UI even says "Rough idea — AI will spec it…"

But there's no actual specifier agent in the codebase. Triage just parks the task. The "fleshing out" is expected to be done by a human or a profile, but nothing automates it. I searched Reddit, YouTube, and GitHub, nobody in the community has implemented this either. Every real-world kanban setup I found either skips triage entirely or uses an orchestrator profile to decompose work.

So my questions:

Is TODO intended as a human queue or a dependency-wait state? Right now it's the latter, which means tasks can't sit there without being auto-promoted.

Has anyone actually wired up a triage specifier? If so, how? I'm thinking a cron job that picks up triage tasks and expands them, but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.

I love to keep things simple and therefore I am using Apple notes and reminders set as a GTD system ( get things done ).

I did encountered lately several issues by using Hermes agent in combination with its memo skill for Apple notes and I am considering now to switch to obsidian or to notion.

What are your guys experiences with it and what you recommend using and why?

I forgot to mention back in the days I used Evernote and I didn’t like it and I think Notion goes maybe in the same way ?

I recently switched from telegram to discord and it has been significantly better. I initially wanted to just have the voice chat function for Hermes.

But I then realized there’s actually much more potential in to set up with using category and channels based on projects, so the whole conversation stays within the channel, so it’s super easy to find and super easy to continue a conversation.

Would be interesting to know what you guys are using. Maybe there’s something I could still improve to even make my set up more productive.

And the second thing would be has someone tried the voice chat not the voice messages, but the real kind of phone calling your agent?
