Play

The Play button sits in the top navigation. Press it and Excellent walks you through a ranked queue of the single most valuable thing to do next — one card at a time, each with the action attached.

Where the cards come from

Play doesn't invent a parallel to-do list. It aggregates signals that already exist in your workspace: setup steps you haven't finished, things that need attention across your apps, and work your agents or coding tools have queued for you. Agents propose Play actions through the same MCP server they use for everything else, so "the agent found something you should look at" and "you left onboarding half-done" land in one queue instead of five badges.

Why this card, why now

Ranking is transparent, not vibes. Each candidate is scored on what kind of action it is, how severe or blocking it is, what finishing it unlocks, and how fresh it is — multiplied by what Play has learned from your feedback: dismiss a kind of card often enough and it sinks; act on a kind consistently and it rises. Every card states why it surfaced, so you're never left guessing what the software is optimizing for.

Always something worth doing

When the urgent queue runs thin, Play tops up with evergreen work that moves the operation forward — so pressing Play is never a dead end, and never a firehose. One thing, then the next.
