Tasks
Start a Code task in the right project, find it later, and follow it from your iPhone.
Projects and tasks
A project is a folder you opened. A task is one conversation in that project, with its own approvals and tools. Files, the terminal, Browser tabs, and Git belong to the project. The transcript belongs to the task.
Start or resume a task
If you haven’t added a folder yet, choose File → Open project… to open Add a project. In the sidebar, expand Projects and choose New chat in a project, or choose New chat for the current project. Click a task to open its transcript, including after you restart the app, as long as the project folder still exists.
Before you send, you can add files, a skill, and @ references. The runtime, model, intelligence, permission, and delegation controls stay visible in the composer. Check them after a long break or after you switch projects.
Manage tasks
A task’s menu has Pin, Unpin, Rename, Copy, Archive, Restore, and Delete. Search chats searches chats, messages, and project files. To find a task you archived, use Archived or Settings → Archives.
Opening another project changes the folder for new tasks. Stay in the listed project when paths, the terminal, or Git depend on it. If a task doesn’t restore, reopen its project first, then see Troubleshooting.
Follow a task on iPhone
In Remote, tasks are grouped by computer. Use Search remote chats to find a task, then open it to see the transcript from your computer. Send message, Queue message, Steer this turn, and Stop appear when your computer is reachable and your iPhone has permission. You can’t commit from your iPhone. See Remote access. Your Chat conversations are in a separate list.
