title: "Tasks"

description: "A Task is a unit of work shared between you and an agent. You trigger the task, the agent executes it, then you review or approve the results. Tasks can run **on demand**, **on triggers**, or **on schedules**."

**What is a Task?**
|
|
|
|
A Task is a unit of work that combines:
|
|
- Your instructions
|
|
- An agent's capabilities (model, rules, tools, prompt)
|
|
- Your codebase (repository and branch)
|
|
|
|
Tasks can be triggered manually, by events, or on a schedule, and can be assigned to anyone on your team for review.
|
|
|

|
## Creating and Running a Task
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Choose an Agent">
|
|
|
|
Select the **Agent** you want to use for this task.
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
|
|
Don't have an Agent yet? Create one in **[Mission Control → Agents](https://hub.continue.dev/agents/new)** before setting up your first task.
|
|
|
|
</Tip>
|
|
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Select Your Repository">
|
|
|
|
Pick the **repository** and **branch** the Agent branch off of.
|
|
|
|
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Describe the Task">
|
|
|
|
Add your user input — clear instructions for what you want the agent to accomplish.
|
|
|
|
**Example prompts:**
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Refactor unused React components and clean up imports
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Add error handling to all API endpoints in the /api directory
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Update README with installation instructions for the new CLI tool
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Run the Task">
|
|
|
|
Click the Submit button.
|
|
|
|
The Agent will:
|
|
- Analyze your repository and branch
|
|
- Execute the task based on your input
|
|
- Generate changes based on your task request
|
|
- Create a detailed session log
|
|
|
|
<Info>
|
|
|
|
Task execution time varies based on complexity. You can monitor progress in your inbox.

|
|
|
<Step title="Review Results">
|

Each Task run creates a Session with complete traceability.
