This page walks through making a Request — turning an idea into work items and saving them as tasks. For what a Request is, start with the Requests concept page.
Start a new request
From your project, select Requests, then + New Request. In the New request dialog:
- (Optional) Give it a title.
- Describe what you want in the request field — plain language is fine.
- (Optional) Upload files or screenshots that help explain it.
- Select Break it down.
You don’t choose a project type — DIJJI.ai works that out from your code. It then drafts the work items, showing Breaking down your request…, and opens the request’s thread.
Review the work items
The breakdown is a numbered, ordered list of work items. Each one may show:
- A size — S, M, or L.
- A Depends on note, when it needs another item done first.
As with a Blueprint, every part carries a status — Filled, Assumption — confirm/change, or Question — answer — with a plain-language explanation and a Technical detail disclosure. Work through them: confirm the assumptions and answer the questions until the breakdown is right.
To refine it:
- Add input to give more context, then update the breakdown.
- Regenerate to redraw it with your corrections.
- Restore an earlier version, or use the ⋯ menu’s Reset / Start over to begin again.
If the breakdown comes back empty — Request breakdown failed — adjust your input and select Try again.
Save the work items as tasks
When the work items look right, select Approve & save and confirm. The items are saved to your task list as pending tasks — you’ll see “{N} task(s) created” and a View in Tasks link.
Two things to expect:
- No pull request is opened — a Request only creates tasks, it doesn’t touch your repository.
- Nothing runs automatically. Each new task waits as Pending until you run it, exactly like a task from an issue. See Execute a task.
Later, you can open the thread again, refine it, and Save again to update the tasks.
