+- **Triage** — raw ideas, a specifier will flesh out the spec before anyone works on them. Click the **✨ Specify** button on any triage card (or run `hermes kanban specify <id>` / `/kanban specify <id>` from a chat) to have the auxiliary LLM turn a one-liner into a full spec (goal, approach, acceptance criteria) and promote it to `todo` in one shot. Configure which model runs it under `auxiliary.triage_specifier` in `config.yaml`.
 - **Todo** — created but waiting on dependencies, or not yet assigned.
 - **Ready** — assigned and waiting for the dispatcher to claim.
 - **In progress** — a worker is actively running the task. With "Lanes by profile" on (the default), this column sub-groups by assignee so you can see at a glance what each worker is doing.
