Schurmanns's workflow makes that trade-off concrete, including the privacy and coordination questions it raises.\n\nTypemill founder Sebastian Schurmanns is making a practical case for moving software tasks out of ticketing systems and into Git repositories, where AI coding agents can read the requirements beside the code they are meant to change. In a [Typemill article dated October 25th](https://typemill.net/knowledge-hub/tasks-as-code?ref=runtimewire), he describes the workflow he uses on the open-source documentation software he has developed since 2017.…\n\nWhen you purchase through links in our articles, [we may earn a small commission](https://runtimewire.com/affiliate-monetization-standards).
