Description Starters

Reusable text snippets you insert into a task description: acceptance criteria, bug reports, creative briefs. Free on every plan, forever.

By Updated

Pre-formatted blocks you drop into any task description from the editor's starter menu. They standardize the shape of the writing: every bug report has the same five fields, every brief asks the same questions.

For anything broken, so the fix does not start with twenty questions.

The three that ship with every account. A starter drops this shape at your cursor and then gets out of the way: the square brackets are prompts to replace, not fields to fill in.

Three keystrokes and a shape appears.

  1. Open a task and put your cursor in the description.

    Starters apply to task descriptions. They are not offered on comments or project descriptions, where a bug-report skeleton would only be noise.

    Open All Tasks
  2. Pick a starter from the editor.

    It inserts at your cursor rather than replacing what is there, so you can drop one under something you have already written.

  3. Replace the bracketed prompts.

    The square brackets are prompts, not fields. Delete the ones that do not apply: a half-filled template is worse than a short paragraph.

Insert one with a single click from the description editor. Write your own in a split editor with a live preview, and they are shared across the workspace so the whole team writes the same shape.

There are also global starters seeded for common cases, available to everyone.

Description Starters stay available on Free, including after a trial ends. They are the one part of the Template Library with no paywall on the action.
