A map both people and agents can read人和 agent 都看得懂的地图

02

Lines and stations线路和站点

Every session becomes a line每个会话都是一条线

Your instructions and decisions are dark stations; the agents' edits, commits and results are stations in the line's colour. Fork a line from any station and merge it back when it is done, drawn like git.

你的指令和决定是深色站点，agent 的改动、提交和产出用线路的颜色。可以从任意站点分叉出新线，做完再合并回来，像 git 一样画出来。

Hooks draw it while you work. You do nothing.

这些由 hooks 在你工作时自动画上，你什么都不用做。

03

For agents给 agent 看

Agents read the same mapagent 读同一张图

Through the MCP tools trace_list_threads and trace_read_thread, a new session catches up in seconds instead of rereading old chats, and picks up where another left off.

通过 MCP 工具 trace_list_threads 和 trace_read_thread，新会话几秒钟就能跟上进度，不用重读旧对话，接着别的会话停下的地方继续做。

04

Goals and to-dos目标和待办

One list for you and your agents人和 agent 共用一份清单

Write down what a line should achieve and its next steps. Agents read them with trace_tasks when they start and tick each one off with trace_task_done; the list shows who ticked it. Let them work while you are away, and come back to see where things stand.

写下一条线要达到的目标和下一步。agent 开工时用 trace_tasks 读，做完一项就用 trace_task_done 勾掉，清单上标着是谁勾的。你离开时 agent 照样推进，回来一看就知道做到哪了。

05

Dispatch分派

One sentence, every line at work一句话，每条线都开工

Say dispatch (/trace-canvas dispatch, also from the Claude app on your phone) and each line's new to-dos go to the agent working on that line. A running session gets a message, a stopped one is resumed with its to-dos, and a line nobody works on gets a new session.

说一句「分派」（/trace-canvas dispatch，在手机上的 Claude app 里也行），每条线上新记的待办就交给正在做这条线的 agent。正在运行的会话收到消息，停了的会话带着待办恢复，没人做的线新开一个会话。

06

On your phone在手机上

Jot ideas away from the desk离开桌子，也能随手记下

Open the canvas on your phone through Tailscale, with nothing opened to the internet. Read your lines, drop ideas and to-dos into them, and edit a line's goal right there. The agents keep running on the computer.

通过 Tailscale 在手机上打开画布，不对公网开放。看各条线、往线上记想法和待办、就地改线的目标。agent 继续在电脑上跑。

07

Several machines多台电脑

Several machines, one canvas多台电脑，同一张画布

Laptop, workstation and lab PC share one canvas through a private git repository. Each machine writes only its own file, and trace-canvas sync brings in the others. Records from another machine carry its name, and their resume command runs over ssh.

笔记本、工作站和实验室电脑通过一个私有 git 仓库共用一张画布。每台机器只写自己的文件，trace-canvas sync 把其他机器的拉进来。来自别的机器的记录标着机器名，恢复命令通过 ssh 执行。
