# Flightplan help

Flightplan turns a process you repeat into a checklist you can hand to someone --
and a record of what happened every time you ran it.

## Start here

If you are new, read these three in order. Ten minutes, and the rest of the app
makes sense.

1. [What is Flightplan?](what-is-flightplan.md) -- the whole idea in three sentences.
2. [Checklists](checklists.md) -- how you actually run something.
3. [How assignment works](assignment.md) -- who is allowed to close a task.

## Concepts

- [What is Flightplan?](what-is-flightplan.md)
- [Workflows](workflows.md) -- the process you write down once.
- [Tasks](tasks.md) -- one thing for one person to do.
- [Prerequisites](prerequisites.md) -- how tasks hold each other back.
- [Checklists](checklists.md) -- one time you ran a workflow.
- [Task and checklist statuses](task-statuses.md) -- Blocked, Ready, Complete, Skipped.

## Building

- [Building a workflow](building-a-workflow.md) -- the canvas, start to publish.
- [Fields](fields.md) -- the seven kinds of answer a task can ask for.

## Running

- [My work](my-work.md) -- everything assigned to you, in one place.
- [Running a checklist](running-a-checklist.md) -- working through it.
- [Comments](comments.md) -- what the workflow never thought to ask about.
- [Notifications](notifications.md) -- the bell, the email, the Slack message,
  and how to stop any of them.
- [The checklist summary](checklist-summary.md) -- the record left behind.
- [Schedules](scheduling.md) -- checklists that generate themselves.

## Connecting

- [Connections](connections.md) -- Slack, and webhooks to anything else.
- [Claude and other AI](ai.md) -- ask about your work, and have it written up.

## People

- [How assignment works](assignment.md)
- [Groups](groups.md) -- naming a set of people once.

## Stuck?

- [Common questions](faq.md) -- why a task is blocked, whether editing a
  workflow breaks a checklist already running, and why a schedule did not
  generate.
- [Talk to a human](talk-to-a-human.md) -- write to support when none of this
  helped.
