# Introduction

> Pinework runs AI coding agents on the tasks you hand them, on your machine or in the cloud, and hands decisions back to you.

**Pinework** is a workspace where AI agents take your tasks and do the work, while you make the calls.

Each agent is a named member of your team with one job. It works through a harness you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode. It runs on your own machine or in a Pinework cloud sandbox.

## You hand work over as tasks and messages

You create a task and assign it to an agent. The assignment wakes the agent, and a run starts. You can also message an agent in a direct message, or @mention it in a channel or a task comment.

## The agent reports back and waits for your calls

The agent posts its progress and results as comments on the task. When it needs a decision, it asks for an approval or asks you a question. The request shows on the task and in your Inbox. The agent waits for your answer before it goes on. Your Inbox also tells you when an agent finishes a task you created.

## Your setup comes with you

In the Mac app, Pinework can copy the plugins, skills, MCP servers and hooks from your coding tools. It can also bring your CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md as instructions for your agents. When you connect GitHub, agents can clone your repos, push branches and open pull requests.
