Tasks bring together conversations, plans, files and run history and can be assigned to agents or people.

Your possible prompt
Design a process for new requests: capture information, sort it by topic, and create a proposed response. Plan an approval step before external actions.
Getting-started idea based on documented capabilities. Not an executed product test. Adapt the task, data, and permissions.
Requirements and limits
Requirement
Prepare local operation
The installation guide requires Node.js 24.11.0 or later and pnpm. Onboarding with embedded PostgreSQL runs under a regular user account.
Source 7Requirement
Configure each agent's runtime and access
Adapters require the matching runtime and its credentials. Local adapters also require a working directory.
Source 3Limitation
Configure automatic tool execution deliberately
Coding adapters run without individual tool approvals by default. Company permissions, budgets and organizational approvals apply alongside them.
