For Deft v0.3.0-preview.15.
Use the launch-room space and Launch pilot project from Your first workspace. An owner or admin needs to configure a working provider in Settings → AI.
In Settings → Agent, choose Conservative trust for this exercise. Task creation should wait for review under that policy. This tutorial uses Defty; a personal MCP client writes as its connected user and does not use the same approval queue.
In launch-room, type @ and select Defty from mention autocomplete. Send:
Create a task in Launch pilot called “Review the launch announcement”. Assign it to me and make it due tomorrow. Include this checklist in the description: check the date, test the demo link, and confirm the support contact.
If Defty asks which project or person you mean, select the intended match. It should draft the task rather than guess between similar names.
Wait for the approval card. Check the title, project, assignee, due date, and description before choosing Approve. Pay attention to the actual calendar date when you used “tomorrow”.
If something is wrong, reject the proposal and send a corrected request. A pending proposal is not a completed task.
Open Launch pilot and find Review the launch announcement. Confirm its owner, date, and checklist match the approved proposal. Read the completed action or receipt in Deft's activity history and follow the task link when one is shown.
Success means both are present: the saved task and the completed action record. A reply saying “done” alone is not enough.
For a recorded example, watch the task-and-approval chapter. The video uses seeded demo data; your task and project names will differ.
Ask Defty to create another task named Approval practice — reject this. Reject its card, then check that the task was not created. This gives you a simple check of both outcomes before assigning real work.
| What happened | What to check |
|---|---|
| No response | Confirm the provider works and Defty was selected from mention autocomplete. |
| Task appeared without review | Check the workspace trust policy; confirm the request went to Defty rather than a personal MCP client. |
| Approval exists but no task appears | Check the action status and error details before submitting the request again. |
| Wrong project or owner | Reject the draft and use the exact project name or person's email in the next request. |
