Studio guide

Use the cross-project workspace to decide what deserves attention now.

Studio Workspace Reference

6.1 Studio Overview

Purpose: The command center for all projects.

The Studio Overview contains or summarizes:

  • active project count;
  • open issue count;
  • work in progress;
  • high-priority work;
  • project cards and progress;
  • recent activity;
  • notifications;
  • focus-time progress;
  • current work streak;
  • weekly, monthly, and all-time focus statistics;
  • activity contribution heatmap;
  • productivity insights;
  • project progress;
  • issue overview;
  • badges earned;
  • today’s events;
  • task deadline summary;
  • output snapshot;
  • goals;
  • upcoming milestones;
  • high-priority issues.

Primary user question: “What is happening across my studio?”

Wiki guidance: Explain this as an orientation screen, not the place where every item is edited.

6.2 Today

Purpose: A forward-looking view of what deserves attention now.

Today aggregates:

  • overdue work;
  • work due today;
  • work already in progress;
  • work due this week;
  • upcoming milestones;
  • creator output logged today and this week;
  • daily or weekly goals.

Its intended decision order is:

  1. triage overdue work;
  2. finish what is due today;
  3. resume something already in progress;
  4. look ahead at the next few dates;
  5. review output and goals.

Key principle: Today becomes more useful as tasks and milestones receive real dates.

6.3 All Issues

Purpose: Cross-project issue and problem tracking.

Capabilities include:

  • search;
  • severity filtering;
  • status filtering;
  • issue creation;
  • issue detail views;
  • cross-project aggregation.

Issue severities:

  • Low
  • Medium
  • High
  • Critical

Issue statuses:

  • Open
  • In Progress
  • Blocked
  • Resolved
  • Closed

An issue can also contain richer fields such as:

  • type;
  • impact;
  • technical details;
  • steps to resolve;
  • time estimate;
  • assignee.

Terminology note: Some project types adapt “issues” to more creator-appropriate language such as Feedback, Script Notes, Production Notes, Reader Notes, or Design Debt.

6.4 Activity

Purpose: A cross-project record of recent movement.

Activity can represent changes associated with:

  • issues;
  • tasks;
  • assets;
  • wiki documents;
  • builds;
  • commits or release movement.

Common actions include:

  • created;
  • updated;
  • closed;
  • deleted;
  • uploaded;
  • pushed.

Primary user question: “What changed since I last looked?”

6.5 Global Calendar

Purpose: The complete Studio timeline.

Capabilities include:

  • Month view
  • Week view
  • Day view
  • event creation;
  • event editing;
  • project and studio-wide events;
  • recurring events;
  • milestones;
  • task due dates.

Events may represent:

  • milestones;
  • deadlines;
  • meetings;
  • releases or publishing targets;
  • shoots;
  • recording sessions;
  • reviews;
  • rehearsals;
  • recurring production checkpoints.

6.6 Studio Docs

Purpose: Shared, studio-wide knowledge.

Studio Docs are for material that belongs above any one project:

  • studio standards;
  • reusable processes;
  • shared references;
  • operational notes;
  • brand principles;
  • long-term studio documentation.

Studio Docs are different from:

  • built-in Help, which explains KazaKit;
  • Project Library documents, which belong to one project;
  • Quick Notes, which are intentionally rough and temporary.

6.7 Trophy Room

Purpose: Make progress and habits emotionally visible.

The achievement system supports:

  • earned and locked filters;
  • progress toward the next badge;
  • Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary rarity tiers;
  • studio-wide achievements;
  • project-type-compatible achievements.

Badge categories currently cover:

  • Bug Hunting
  • Progress
  • Documentation
  • Work Habits
  • Time and Streaks
  • Game Development
  • Film and Video
  • Comics and Manga
  • Music and Audio
  • Content Creation
  • Software
  • Writing
  • Planning and Organization
  • Special achievements

The current application displays 72 total badge slots.

Documentation rule: Do not promise that every conceivable user action has a badge. Explain the system as a set of milestones, streaks, habits, and discipline-specific accomplishments.
