Statuses

Statuses are workflow states for sessions and tasks (for example: Todo, In Progress, Done).

​

Why They Matter

• Better inbox triage
• Clear progress tracking across projects
• Cleaner archive behavior

​

Sessions vs Tasks

Normies uses statuses across both:

• Regular conversations
• Project task conversations

For projects, statuses become the visible progress layer that drives what to do next.

​

Common Workflow Pattern

Typical progression:

1. Todo
2. In Progress
3. Needs Review (optional)
4. Done or Cancelled

​

Operational Guidance

• Keep status names explicit and team-readable.
• Avoid redundant states that overlap semantically.
• Reserve closed states for genuinely complete/ended work.
