The Tasks plugin enables AI agents to plan and execute complex multi-step workflows with user approval.

Key Features​

📋 Task Planning​

Create comprehensive task plans with multiple tasks, each assigned to specialized agents.

✅ User Approval​

Present task plans to users for approval via interactive interface before execution.

🤖 Automatic Execution​

Upon approval, tasks are automatically dispatched to appropriate specialist agents.

📊 Status Tracking​

Track task status (pending, running, completed, failed) throughout execution.

Workflow​

  1. Planning Phase: Team leader analyzes requirements and creates task plan
  2. Approval Phase: Task plan presented to user with clear descriptions
  3. Execution Phase: Tasks dispatched to appropriate specialist agents
  4. Tracking Phase: Status updated as agents complete work
  5. Results Phase: Execution results collected and reported

Usage​

await agent.executeTool('tasks/add', {
  tasks: [
    {
      taskName: "Create authentication system",
      agentType: "backend-developer", 
      message: "Implement JWT-based authentication",
      context: "Create auth middleware, user model, login/logout routes."
    },
    {
      taskName: "Design login UI",
      agentType: "frontend-developer",
      message: "Create responsive login forms", 
      context: "Build React components with validation."
    },
    {
      taskName: "Write auth tests",
      agentType: "test-engineer",
      message: "Create comprehensive test suite",
      context: "Write unit and integration tests."
    }
  ]
});

Chat Commands​

Perfect for breaking down complex projects into manageable steps with specialized agent coordination.
