Tasks
What it does
A two-layer task system with reusable templates and a prioritized work queue. Define recurring tasks once, then run them on demand.
Setup required
None. Works immediately.
Permissions
- No special permissions (tasks execute within existing tool permissions)
Common prompts
| You say... | What happens |
|---|---|
| “Create a task template for weekly status reports” | Saves a reusable task definition |
| “Run my weekly report task” | Executes a saved template |
| “What's in my task queue?” | Shows prioritized work items |
| “Add 'review PR #42' to my queue as high priority” | Adds a work item |
| “Mark the deployment task as done” | Updates task status |
Configuration
- Priority tiers: high, medium, low
- Status tracking: queued, running, awaiting_review, done
- Templates can specify required tools
Tips & gotchas
- Templates vs. work items. Think of templates as “recipes” and work items as “orders.” Templates define what to do; the queue tracks what needs doing now.
- Auto-loading tools. Tasks can require specific tools — if a template needs browser access, the skill will load the browser skill automatically.
- Great for repetitive workflows. Good for repetitive workflows you want to hand off to your assistant.
