Project Settings

Editing a project

Hover over a project in the sidebar and click the pencil icon to open the edit dialog.

You can change:

• Name — the display name shown in the sidebar and dashboard
• Instructions — the context provided to Pilot for all tasks in this project
• GitHub repository — the linked repo and default branch
• Color and icon — visual identifiers in the sidebar

Deleting a project

To delete a project:

1. Open the project’s edit dialog (pencil icon in the sidebar)
2. Click Delete at the bottom of the dialog
3. Confirm the deletion

Deleting a project removes it from the sidebar and task board. Conversations and tasks associated with the project are also removed. This action cannot be undone.

Project-level instructions

Instructions set on a project apply to every task and conversation within that project. They’re a powerful way to ensure consistent output:

• Coding standards — “Use ESLint with the Airbnb config”
• Architecture — “This is a microservices app. Each service has its own directory”
• Testing — “Every new function must have a unit test”
• Style — “Use functional components with hooks, no class components”

Keep instructions concise and actionable. Pilot reads them for every task, so focused guidance produces better results than lengthy documentation.
