The AI assistant

Brainstorm is the full-page conversation for new ideas; the AI assistant is the same brain, everywhere else. Press Cmd+J on any screen for a side panel that knows what you’re looking at, or take a conversation full-page when it deserves the room. Every thread is saved; nothing important happens in a chat that disappears.

Scoped to where you are

Open it on a task and it knows the task; on the board and it knows the board. Context travels in, so answers come out specific, not generic advice you have to translate back to your project.

Skills

Skills are focused modes for the moments that recur:

  • Brainstorm: explore an idea into clear requirements before any tasks are created.
  • Break down: turn an approved idea or epic into agent-sized tasks with acceptance criteria.
  • Acceptance Criteria: write testable acceptance criteria and a definition of done for a task or epic.
  • Parallelize: find what can run concurrently across agents versus what must be sequential.
Parallelize is the skill to reach for whenever you’re about to run more than one agent. It reads your dependency graph and tells you what three agents can safely pick up at once versus what must wait, so you fan out without two agents colliding on the same path.

It proposes, you accept

Anything the assistant drafts (tasks, criteria, structure) is a proposal until you accept it. Same rule as everywhere else in Masaro: the AI moves fast, you stay the editor.
