Create Task

Selecting Work Mode

When creating a new task, you need to first select a work mode. The current interface provides two modes:

Mode	Description	Default
Work Mode	For general work scenarios like documents, reports, research, data analysis	Selected by default
Programming Mode	For code development scenarios, suitable for implementing features, fixing issues, refactoring code	-

Mode Differences:

• Different task types: Work Mode is better suited for content creation and general collaboration; Programming Mode is better for code-related tasks.
• Different working directories: Programming Mode typically requires specifying a local project directory; Work Mode can start directly.
• Interface memory: The system remembers your last selected mode and auto-fills it when creating the next task.

Filling in Task Content

You can create a task through the following steps:

1. Click the New Task button on the left to enter the new task page.
2. Select Work Mode or Programming Mode.
3. Directly describe your requirement in the input field, e.g., "Help me add a user login feature to the current project."
4. Adjust the run mode and model below the input field as needed.
5. Click the send button or press Enter to start the agent task.

Selecting Working Directory

In Programming Mode, it's recommended to specify a local working directory for the task:

• Click Select Folder in the bottom-right corner of the input field to choose the directory for the current task.
• Once selected, the agent will read, analyze, and modify code based on that directory.
• If you frequently work in the same project, prioritize selecting the currently opened project directory to reduce switching.

Adding Context

When creating a task, you can add context to help the agent understand your requirements faster:

Method	Description
Reference Context	Use @ to reference files, documents, rules, and other information
Paste Screenshots	Use Ctrl/Cmd + V to paste images directly from clipboard
Upload Files	Click the upload button or drag files into the input field
Add Description	Clearly specify goals, scope, constraints, and expected output in the task description

It's recommended to include the following information:

• What's the goal: What feature to implement, or what content to produce.
• What's the scope: Only modify the current module, or coordinate across multiple directories.
• What are the constraints: Tech stack, style requirements, naming conventions, deadlines, etc.
• What's the success criteria: Whether you want to see code, documentation, analysis conclusions, or a previewable page.

After Task Starts

After the task is successfully created:

1. The new task will appear in the task list on the left.
2. The conversation area will continuously display the agent's execution process and output.
3. The right context area will show artifacts, all files, changes, and preview results based on the task type.
4. You can continue adding messages, or create other tasks to progress in parallel.
