Load when reading or writing project notes, weekly/monthly summaries, or journal/agent.md. Owns GET/PATCH for context files except today.md and roadmap.md, which use their dedicated skills.
Load when the user wants an ongoing task on a fixed cadence (every morning, each Monday, hourly) to run autonomously as its own named recurring Agent. Creates it via POST /api/agents. Not for one-time reminders (use schedule) or app-data background fetches (use managed-tasks).
Load to manage the durable source library (user-sent PDFs/PPTX/docs) — list unfiled sources, file them as knowledge/sources/ cards, promote images, or send a stored source back. SKIP for delivering files you generated this turn (attach) or general vault edits (context).
Hand a long-running or open-ended task (deep research, multi-repo CI audit, monitor X over time, bulk compile) to /api/background-task. Compose a self-contained brief, set the notification policy, POST, ack, end the turn. Read GET /:id for follow-up detail.
Read-only Task Board — list everything in motion (recurring DMs, Agents, app-fetch, automation triggers, reminders, background/browser work) via GET /api/tasks, and preview a delete's blast radius via GET /api/tasks/impact. For writes use the `task` skill.
Hand open-ended browser requests (post a tweet, fill a contact form, check an order status, …) to /api/browser-task. Relay sub-agent clarifications, POST /clarify with the reply, /cancel on stop.
Schedule future agent wake-ups, pre-composed DMs, or recurring tasks via /api/schedule. Use when registering a timed follow-up, a one-off reminder, or de-duping against pending schedules.
Unified write facade for tracked work — create/edit/delete any task through one path. POST /api/tasks {kind: reminder|dm|agent|app_fetch|background}; PATCH/DELETE /api/tasks/<ref>. Forwards to the hardened owners (dedup, cascade, dm_session split intact).
