Today’s ledger and items
Today’s ledger is MateBot’s home page. It sorts by how much you are needed: first what is waiting on you, then what is running, then what is already closed.
Sections
| Section | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Today’s items | Due today or moving today, with due time and owner |
| Tomorrow | A look ahead so tomorrow does not pile up |
| Running tasks | Work already dispatched to an execution session; open it to see the live run |
| Board cards | Deliverables promoted to board cards, with task ID and review state |
| Messages awaiting confirmation | Messages MateBot has judged but still needs you to decide on |
| Closed items | Completed and canceled work, kept for the record |
Row labels
- Waiting for your answer / Waiting for your approval: the executor is stuck and needs a sentence or a button
- Blocked / Failed: the run did not get through; open it for the reason
- Overdue: past the due time and not done
- Awaiting acceptance: the executor says it is done; your call
- Approved / Rejected / In review: the board card’s review state
Items
Every item carries three things: state, owner, and time.
| Field | Values |
|---|---|
| State | Not started / In progress / Awaiting acceptance / Done / Canceled |
| Owner | You / the assistant / the other party |
| Time | Recorded, due, and completed times |
Open an item to see its content, next step, timeline, linked session, and linked card. When there is nothing more, MateBot says so instead of inventing detail.
What you can do
- Done / Not needed: close it yourself; completion is your call
- Reopen: a finished item can be reopened, and the executor binding is restored from the main link
- Tell the executor: a follow-up goes straight to the original execution session
- Promote to a board card: pick a board project; the item becomes a backlog card ready for dispatch
Messages awaiting confirmation
What MateBot reads from a source does not become an action on its own; it waits here:
- Record as item: turns it into a trackable item
- Dismiss: removes it from the ledger
- Close all: bulk-close messages without a verdict; records remain for audit
- History: messages older than 30 days, closed by you, or with a body past its retention window; read-only
Message bodies are kept for 30 days. Assessed records are audit material and cannot be deleted.
The note at the top
Every time you open the ledger it is re-evaluated, and the note at the top updates when the facts change: what to handle first, how many runs are active, and what is due today. It comes from the current ledger, not a second to-do list.
Empty state
“Nothing scheduled yet. Tell MateBot what you want to do and it will be logged.” That sentence is the entry point: just say it, no format required.
