Session Briefing UX Redesign Proposal
Improved session briefing with direct actions and better context
Output
Session Briefing UX Redesign
🔴 Problems Identified
| Issue | Impact |
| "Working:" prefix | Redundant - everything Claude does is "working" |
| "Working..." title | Cryptic - no actual content tells user nothing |
| Generic buttons | "Review Pending" wastes a turn asking Claude to summarize what UI already shows |
| No direct links | Can't click kontask to view/act on it directly |
✅ Proposed Changes
1. Strip "Working:" Prefix
Before: 🟡 Working: Testing statusline capture After: 🟡 Testing statusline capture
2. Make Rows Clickable
Each kontask row → direct link to /kontasks/{id}
<a href="/kontasks/abc123" style="..."> 🟡 Testing statusline capture → 2h ago </a>
3. Smarter Header Text
Before: ⚠️ Needs Attention (3) After: ⚠️ 3 kontasks need your decision ↳ Tap any to review
4. Replace Generic Buttons
| Remove | Replace With |
| "Review Pending" | Open First → (links to oldest pending kontask) |
| "Continue Work" | View All Kontasks (links to /kontasks) |
| "Check Backlog" | Ask Claude (existing behavior, for when user wants help) |
5. Filter Bad Titles
Skip kontasks with titles like "Working..." or very short titles. These are noise from progress updates, not real decisions.
