How to use tasks in Databutton

This guide is about using effectively in Databutton, enabling the agent to focus on the task at hand over a longer period of time.

Tasks in Databutton is a way for you and the agent to organize work, track what has been done, what key-decisions were made and most importantly what you should work on next.

By assigning a task to the agent you put the agent into what we call 'execution' mode. In this mode, the agent is tuned towards making the necessary changes to your app in order to fulfill the task description and it's definition of done. The agent breaks your task into it's own list of sub-tasks and keeps track of progress towards the overall goal. This list of sub-tasks acts much as how you might take mental notes as you work on a task yourself. The agent might make changes to its sub-tasks based on feedback from the environment and input from you.

When the agent does not have a task assigned, it is in 'planning' mode, tuned towards sparring with you on what to build and how to get there. The agent might make changes to your app in this mode as well, but that is ment for fixing smaller bugs where making a task before you fix the bug might seem unnecessary.
