Agent Status
Every agent on the spatial canvas shows its state through two visual systems: status rings around the agent node, and sticky notes that surface details without you having to click anything.Status rings
The ring around an agent’s avatar indicates whether the agent is working:| Ring | Status | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Green (pulsing) | Active | The agent is working — you’ll see the ring gently pulse |
| No ring | Idle | The agent is ready but has nothing to do |
Sticky notes
Sticky notes are annotation cards that appear next to an agent on the canvas. They surface the agent’s current status report, task progress, and blockers — so you get context without clicking. A sticky note shows:- Summary — the agent’s current status in its own words
- Task progress — what it’s working on and how far along it is
- Detail — extended notes or blockers
When sticky notes appear
Sticky notes show automatically based on your preferences in Settings:- All notes — master toggle to show or hide all sticky notes
- Needs help — show when an agent flags for input (summary starts with a wave)
- Completion — show when an agent finishes a task
Task progress badge
When an agent has tasks, a small badge on its node shows progress — for example, 3/7 means 3 tasks complete out of 7 total. This appears at zoom levels where the canvas is close enough to read. See Tasks & Progress for more on how tasks work.Next: Folder Access
Control which files and folders agents can access.
