Reminders written down as todos had no home: every task looked like Claude work. A manual task now shows a MANUAL badge and hides send-to-queue, refine and the planning session; the queue picker, daily prep and the list handler all skip it, with a TaskStateService guard so the MCP surface and hub cannot start one either. Opening a hand-driven ConPTY session stays available on purpose. A list can be marked manual in its settings, which makes tasks created there (UI and MCP add_task) start out manual. Toggle per task from its context menu.
ClaudeDo
A desktop task management app that executes tasks autonomously via Claude CLI in isolated git worktrees.
Queue up coding tasks, and ClaudeDo picks them up one by one — each running in its own worktree so your main branch stays clean.
Architecture
Two-process system communicating over SignalR:
| Project | Role |
|---|---|
| ClaudeDo.App | Avalonia desktop entry point, DI container setup |
| ClaudeDo.Ui | Views, ViewModels, SignalR client (MVVM) |
| ClaudeDo.Data | SQLite data layer, repositories, models, GitService |
| ClaudeDo.Worker | ASP.NET Core hosted service, task queue, Claude CLI runner |

Tech Stack
- .NET 8.0
- Avalonia 12.0.0 (Fluent theme)
- SQLite (WAL mode) via Entity Framework Core (EF Core + Migrations)
- SignalR for real-time IPC between UI and Worker
- CommunityToolkit.Mvvm for source-generated MVVM
- Git worktrees for task isolation
Prerequisites
- .NET 8.0 SDK
- Claude CLI installed and authenticated
- Git
Getting Started
# Build
dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.App
dotnet build src/ClaudeDo.Worker
# Run tests
dotnet test tests/ClaudeDo.Worker.Tests
# Run the app
dotnet run --project src/ClaudeDo.App
How It Works
- Create a task in the UI and tag it with "agent" to mark it for automated execution.
- The Worker picks up queued tasks and runs each one via Claude CLI in an isolated git worktree.
- When done, the worktree can be merged, kept for review, or discarded.
Task status flow: Manual | Queued → Running → Done | Failed
Worktree state flow: Active → Merged | Discarded | Kept
Configuration
All data and config lives under ~/.todo-app/:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
todo.db |
SQLite database |
ui.config.json |
UI settings |
worker.config.json |
Worker settings (worktree strategy, etc.) |
