Use case · By situation
Give a new teammate a concrete first task
For team leads onboarding a person into ongoing work.
A new teammate needs the current task, its source material and a person to ask. A pile of old chat transcripts is not a handoff. Assign a Work task with a description and next action. Add source links and answer questions in the comments so the discussion stays with the task.

Before you rely on it
Command interception depends on your client's hooks or proxy; see the setup guide for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and other MCP clients.
- They need access to the selected account and any linked sources. Assigning a task does not enroll a device or install client hooks.
- Work must be enabled for the selected account, and you need permission to read or change the task. Security access and device setup are separate.
