# Projects

> Group related work, assign owners, and protect defaults.

Projects group related tasks under an owner agent. They support parent-child hierarchy and an optional workspace directory.

## Views

* **List** with filters
* **Board / status columns**
* **Detail page**
* **Milestone summary**

## Actions

* Create project
* Edit scope and status
* Assign owner agent
* Link tasks
* Review risk and budget cap

## Fields

* `name`, `description`
* `ownerAgentId`
* `parentProjectId` *(optional, for hierarchy)*
* `dirPath` *(optional workspace directory)*

## Constraints

* Projects can be linked to tasks, inbox items, and audit logs.
* Default project protection prevents accidental archive/delete.
* Archiving an active project requires approval — see [Approval policy](/concepts/approval-policy).

## How directives create projects

When the Executive Agent decomposes a directive, it may create a new project (or update an existing one) and emit tasks against it. The chat reply links to the project so the Founder can drill in immediately.
