Parallel Tasks

Collect the human actions waiting across coding agents into one executable, resumable local inbox.

Developers running Codex, Claude Code, and other coding agents who want explicit intervention steps only when a person is genuinely needed, followed by an accurate return to the source task.

Interface mock where coding agents submit human interventions to Parallel Tasks and receive the actual result back

Use one inbox to see which agent is genuinely waiting for you

Parallel Tasks does not mirror every agent conversation. It receives structured receipts only when a person is genuinely needed, explaining why, what to do, and how success can be verified.

Codex can write through a local stdio MCP. When the native tool is unavailable, CLI, inbox, file, and clipboard paths remain available for recovery.

02 / Current loop

From “human needed” back to the source task

Step state comes from the person doing the work; notes or agent inference never mark an unperformed step complete.

01

Direct receipt

The Codex plugin submits through a local MCP while the app refreshes against the same WAL SQLite database.

02

Step-by-step action

Each step can include a command, success signal, and failure action, reducing context hunts across agent windows.

03

Reversible cancellation

Work already handled in Codex can be cancelled directly. Cancellation stays distinct from completion and preserves progress.

04

Accurate return

Resume messages list completed and incomplete steps. Trusted deep links can return to Codex, with manual copy always retained.

03 / Local and safety boundary

Automated collection without automatic sending

These are current implementation boundaries, not an independent security audit.

Handled locally today

  • Receipts, step state, and personal notes stay in the local app data directory
  • Receipt structure and common password, token, and private-key patterns are checked before import
  • Codex MCP, app, CLI, and inbox use the same local task store
  • Ordinary operation does not require a cloud account or remote task service

Explicit human confirmation

  • Return to Codex copies and requests a task switch; it never pastes or sends for the person
  • OS acceptance of a deep link does not prove the correct task opened; verify the window before sending
  • A manual resume path remains when the source UUID is absent or routing fails
  • This website does not receive tasks, receipts, or personal notes

04 / Release boundary

Automated verification passed; the product remains a private local candidate

This page publishes product facts; it does not release the source, installer, or a commercial edition.

Engineering evidence available

  • 30/30 Swift unit tests passed; Release compilation passed (including 3 review regression tests)
  • Two-round multi-agent cross-validation review completed: 26 findings adjudicated one by one; the one blocking defect fixed with reproduction
  • MCP JSON-RPC black-box, CLI, and inbox end-to-end checks passed
  • Ad-hoc structural signing and plugin validation passed for 0.3.3 build 10

Pending before public release

  • Real macOS Chinese IME composition acceptance remains separately recorded at 0/3
  • Developer ID, Hardened Runtime, notarized DMG, and clean-machine installation
  • External-user continuity, upgrades, corruption recovery, and accessibility validation
  • Public license, support policy, and stable connector commitments

Current gate

Candidate download is open; source and purchase remain closed

This is an ad-hoc signed, unnotarized evaluation package for personal evaluation only, offered under the evaluation terms; it does not commit to a public release. The repository remains private with no public license. Verify the SHA-256 before opening; the install guide ships alongside.
