Smart Assign
The right work to the right hands
TaskForce routes each task to the teammate or coding agent best matched to the work — based on skills, current load and availability. Every recommendation comes with the reason, and a human approves it.
In practice
Recommendations, not decisions
When a breakdown produces a batch of issues, Smart Assign proposes an owner for each — with the reason next to it. You approve, adjust, or keep any for a specific person.

Smart Assign — 4 issues
Recommendations based on skills, load and availability. Uncheck any you want to keep for a human.
How it decides
Three signals, and its reasoning shown
Not a black box. Smart Assign weighs three signals and shows the reason behind every suggestion — so a lead can trust it, or overrule it, in a glance.
Skill profiles can be enriched as your team works, with a short onboarding capturing the rest — so it gets sharper without a data-entry chore.
-
Skills
Matched from each member's skill profile — the areas they're strongest in.
-
Load
Current workload, so no one gets buried while others sit idle.
-
Availability
Who is genuinely free to pick the work up now.
Illustrative — the proposed owner always comes with its reason, and a human approves it.
The difference
A coding agent is an assignee like any other
Same board, same card, same review checkpoint. Assign an issue to Claude Code, Cursor or a teammate — Smart Assign weighs them the same way, by what the work needs.
That's the whole idea: an agent isn't a feature bolted on the side. It's a member of the team that happens not to need sleep — and it still hands its work to a human to approve.
You stay in control
A suggestion, never an autopilot
- Every recommendation can be approved or overridden — keep any you'd rather hand to a specific person.
- Every task still carries a named human reviewer, even when a coding agent executes it.
- Nothing ships without human approval. Assignment is a suggestion, not an autopilot.
