manus

name	manus
description	Use Manus for async tasks that exceed local tools: broad research, deliverables such as PDF/PPT/CSV, connector-based work, or long multi-step jobs. Create a task, poll or receive webhooks, then fetch results with the bundled script.

Manus

Prefer Manus only when local tools or sub-agents are not enough.

Docs: https://open.manus.im/docs

Rules

1. Give Manus a complete prompt with scope, output format, and constraints
2. Do not include secrets or unnecessary personal data
3. Prefer manus-1.6; use -lite for cheaper exploratory work
4. Continue multi-turn tasks with --task-id
