ClaudeDo never passed --effort, so every session inherited whatever effortLevel the user's Claude Code config happened to carry. Settings -> General now holds one row per model alias (haiku medium/20, sonnet high/30, opus high/40, fable high/25) supplying the global effort and turn defaults; list- and task-level max-turns overrides still win, and the agent editor's inherited badge follows the model. --effort is applied to autonomous runs and to every ConPTY spec (task session, planning start/resume, ad-hoc, list handler). The model itself is deliberately not forced on interactive sessions. The single global 'Max turns' field is replaced by the table, and 'fable' joins ModelRegistry.Aliases. The migration also adds the is_manual columns used by the next commit.
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.) |
