When a task starts running, Claude Board assigns it a random agent name from a pool of 30 character names. This gives each running agent a distinct personality.

​
Name Pool

Names include: Nova, Atlas, Spark, Echo, Pulse, Drift, Flux, Blaze, Cipher, Nexus, Orbit, Prism, Surge, Volt, Apex, Helix, Pixel, Byte, Quark, Zephyr, Onyx, Jade, Iris, Sol, Astra, Cosmo, Flare, Rune, Vega, Luna.

​
Where Names Appear

  • Agent Cards in the orchestration sidebar — avatar + bold name
  • Battle View — name tag above each agent sprite
  • Terminal logs — “Agent Nova starting task: Login redesign”
  • Speech bubbles — last tool call shown in a cute bubble below the avatar

​
Avatars

Each agent gets a unique avatar generated by boring-avatars using the “beam” variant. Since avatars are deterministic based on the name, the same agent name always produces the same avatar.

​
Storage

Agent names are stored in the agent_name column on the tasks table and persist across restarts.
