Expert mode

Every agent, the Inbox, the topic state and the receipts on 1 screen, keyboard first.

Checked on 9 October 2026 with brainplane 0.2.2.

Switch

Simple is the default: 1 card per topic, in plain words. Expert is 1 press away with Command Shift E, in the toolbar or in Settings, General. Both read the same brain and follow the same safety rules.

The layout

PaneWhat it shows
Agents railEvery session, grouped: needs you, working, waiting, done
Agent panesThe events each agent reported, with the line that blocks it now
InboxEvery card in 2 lines, high risk first
TopicThe state of the selected card's topic in 4 blocks
ReceiptsThe live tail of what changed, with Undo while its window is open

4 tabs: overview, log, handoffs and skills.
