Features

Every feature, plainly.

Hark gives every idea one home base: the plan, the live state, the agent brief, the team record, and the proof you choose to share.

Workshops

What it is

A private space for a set of projects — yours, your team's, or one per client.

Why it matters

Keeps unrelated work from mixing; the boundary agents and permissions respect.

Pipeline

What it is

Six stages every idea moves through: Vault → Recon → Blueprint → Fabrication → Live → Cold Storage. Shown when you turn on Advanced structure; the simple view keeps to Project, Current state, Decisions and Next action.

Why it matters

You can see at a glance where every idea stands, and moving one is a real decision.

Project page

What it is

Each idea is a structured file: Business, Build Docs, Branding.

Why it matters

The full stack of an idea lives in one place instead of chats, repos, and folders.

Completeness %

What it is

A completeness score from a checklist you control.

Why it matters

Shows what's still missing before an idea is ready to build or share.

Sparks

What it is

A one-line inbox for raw ideas, promotable to a full project later.

Why it matters

Capturing takes seconds, so ideas stop dying in group chats.

Import from a conversation

What it is

Paste a ChatGPT or Claude thread, connect a repo, or point at an existing project — Hark proposes a Current state with quotes as evidence, and says "Not found in the source" instead of guessing.

Why it matters

Rescues the ideas already buried in dead chats — you start with work, not a blank page.

Try it free, no account

What it is

Paste a conversation or tap the sample and see a proposed Current state before signing up; it carries into your account.

Why it matters

You see the result in seconds before committing to anything.

Board

What it is

A drag-and-drop view of the pipeline.

Why it matters

Moving ideas between stages takes one motion.

Search, tags, filters

What it is

Find any idea across workshops.

Why it matters

Works at 4 ideas or 400.

Vault gates

What it is

Leaving the Vault requires a next action, a kill criterion, and a review date.

Why it matters

Forces honesty about each idea before it consumes attention.

Cold Storage & rotting

What it is

Parked ideas live in Cold Storage; stale ones get flagged during review.

Why it matters

Your active list stays real; nothing quietly rots.

Current state

What it is

A short, always-current card: phase, what shipped, in progress, next up, blockers, open questions, non-goals.

Why it matters

The one screen that answers "where exactly are we?" — for you and for any agent.

Journal

What it is

A dated log of ships, decisions (with rationale), milestones, and notes.

Why it matters

Your history survives; the why behind every choice is written down.

Sessions & handoffs

What it is

Each work session ends with a note: what changed, what's next, what to watch.

Why it matters

The next person or agent picks up exactly where the last one left off.

Where did this come from?

What it is

Every record shows its source (person, agent, repo, imported chat or doc), its evidence, whether it's accepted, and whether it's still current.

Why it matters

You can tell a confirmed fact from an agent's claim at a glance.

Drafts from repo activity

What it is

Commits, merged PRs and releases become an "Inferred from repo activity" draft with each commit linked as evidence.

Why it matters

Progress gets recorded even when nobody wrote a note.

Traction

What it is

Define metrics (MRR, users, signups), log values, see sparklines.

Why it matters

Numbers tell the story — and become the investor update.

Growth tab

What it is

After launch: a feature pipeline (idea → shipped) and a feedback inbox.

Why it matters

The roadmap keeps living after the product does.

Fork with lineage

What it is

Branch an idea into a pivot, spinoff, or v2 with recorded parentage.

Why it matters

Ideas become a family tree; pivots keep their history instead of losing it.

GitHub App

What it is

Connect private repos; releases and merged PRs land in the ship log automatically.

Why it matters

Proof of progress comes from the code, not from memory.

Project preview

What it is

A live-site preview card and the repo README on the venture.

Why it matters

Every idea gets a face without extra work.

Agent hub (MCP)

What it is

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, ChatGPT, Grok, VS Code, Windsurf, Gemini, or your own agents connect to Hark.

Why it matters

One shared memory across every tool — models change, Hark persists.

Agent brief

What it is

One call gives an agent everything it needs: state, decisions, blockers, non-goals. Short by default, full on request.

Why it matters

Any agent is fully onboarded in one read, without skimming a bloated file.

Session flow

What it is

Start a session, work with tools, end with a handoff.

Why it matters

Turns agent work into something the next agent can continue.

Auto-draft handoff

What it is

If a session goes quiet, Hark drafts the handoff from what actually happened.

Why it matters

Nothing ends without a note, even when nobody wrote one.

Venture-locked sessions

What it is

A session is bound to one project; touching another requires an explicit switch, and attempts are logged.

Why it matters

Context never leaks between your projects.

Candidate memory

What it is

Decisions and state changes proposed by agents wait for your accept or reject, reviewed as a diff with Supersede or Keep both.

Why it matters

Agents can propose; only you make something true.

Trust levels & Autopilot

What it is

Per project: Standard reviews everything; Relaxed also auto-accepts list items like Next up and repo drafts; Autopilot (one agent tool, 24 hours, with a banner) accepts everything except decisions, non-goals and phase. Auto-accepted items carry an Auto-approved badge everywhere, including handoffs.

Why it matters

Less clicking on routine updates, while decisions — and anything that conflicts with one — always wait for you.

Accept all from this session

What it is

One click accepts every quoted or observed item from a session; decisions, non-goals and phase changes stay as a short list to decide individually. Also linked from the daily digest.

Why it matters

Reviewing a whole session takes seconds, not a scroll.

Supersession

What it is

Accepting a new decision can retire a contradicting old one, with history kept.

Why it matters

The brief reflects what you believe now, not everything you ever said.

Attribution

What it is

Every agent write shows which agent did it: "via Claude Code", "via Codex".

Why it matters

You always know who changed what.

Personal access tokens

What it is

Long-lived tokens for scripts, workflows, and custom agents. Read-only tokens can read the brief and project context but can never write.

Why it matters

Headless automation gets in without a browser.

Connect docs

What it is

Step-by-step setup for every supported client, including Grok, copyable as Markdown.

Why it matters

Any builder — or their agent — connects in two minutes.

Installer & hooks

What it is

hark init writes hooks and rules into the repo so agents read Hark automatically; in Claude Code and Cursor, stopping a session drafts the handoff.

Why it matters

Consulting Hark becomes automatic, not remembered.

One-click install

What it is

Install buttons for Cursor and VS Code, with a web-link fallback.

Why it matters

Connecting an editor takes one click instead of a config file.

CLAUDE.md sync with history

What it is

Optionally use the repo's CLAUDE.md as the source. Hark compares both copies before syncing, warns when the repo copy is empty or much shorter, and keeps a version history you can restore.

Why it matters

Turning sync on can never silently wipe the context you wrote.

Repo export (.hark/)

What it is

Hark commits HANDOFF.md, DECISIONS.md, and an AGENTS.md block into your repo.

Why it matters

The brief lives in git too — it survives even if Hark is unreachable.

Usage meter

What it is

A graph of agent calls by client, with your plan's cap and warnings at 80% and 100%.

Why it matters

No surprise limits; you see what counts and when.

Public project page

What it is

Publish any project as a read-only page: private, unlisted link, or public.

Why it matters

A beautiful, shareable record of the build — investors and communities see it.

Investor & client rooms

What it is

Unlisted projects with a "Investor view" of overview, links, traction, decisions.

Why it matters

Show the process, not just the pitch.

Section control

What it is

Choose exactly which sections appear; hidden sections are never sent.

Why it matters

Share confidently — private stays private.

Open Studio

What it is

A public gallery of builds happening in the open.

Why it matters

Discovery for builders; proof for visitors; distribution for you.

Follow & digest

What it is

Anyone can follow a build; followers get a weekly "what shipped."

Why it matters

Builders get an audience; you get a reason to come back.

Badge

What it is

A live SVG badge for READMEs and sites showing stage and progress.

Why it matters

Every badge is a backlink and a signal.

Story

What it is

Optional long-form prose on a public project page.

Why it matters

Tell the build's story in your own words.

Progress update

What it is

Turn recent journal entries into a ready-to-post update (plain, Markdown, X thread).

Why it matters

Build in public without the weekly update chore.

White-label

What it is

Agency plan removes the Hark mark from public project pages.

Why it matters

Client-facing pages carry your brand.

Export

What it is

Download a project or workshop as Markdown and files.

Why it matters

Your work is yours; leave anytime.

Recipient-first handoff

What it is

Hand off to a developer, client or agent: a gap check flags what's missing, the recipient can ask questions, and each handoff is versioned. Recipients can add proposals without a seat or workshop access.

Why it matters

The next person continues the work without rebuilding context.

Roles

What it is

Owner, admin, member, and venture-scoped guests.

Why it matters

The right people see the right things.

Guests

What it is

Read-and-comment access to specific ventures for clients, advisors, reviewers.

Why it matters

Feedback without handing out edit rights or seats.

What it is

Discussion on any project, live.

Why it matters

Decisions get made where the work is.

Activity log

What it is

Everything that happened, by whom or which agent.

Why it matters

Full visibility for the team.

Weekly review

What it is

A two-minute screen: confirm next actions, resolve questions, accept agent proposals, park stale ideas.

Why it matters

The habit that keeps every idea honest.

Notifications

What it is

Slack, Discord, Telegram, and email on ships, stage moves, decisions.

Why it matters

Hark shows up where your team already lives.

Telegram groups

What it is

Link a group chat to a workshop with /link; @mentions and /spark become sparks, /v adds a journal note, and chosen updates post back to the group.

Why it matters

Team chat feeds the project without anyone copying things over.

Capture anywhere

What it is

Message the Telegram bot or email your workshop address — it becomes a spark.

Why it matters

Ideas get captured the moment they happen.

Getting started

What it is

A checklist that completes itself as you use the product.

Why it matters

New users learn by doing, not by reading.

Private by design

What it is

Every workshop is isolated at the database level.

Why it matters

Your ideas are never visible to other customers.
