Task Operations

Tasks are individual units of work that you assign to AI coding agents. Each task runs in an isolated cloud environment with access to your repository.

Creating a Task

  1. Open your workspace
  2. Click New Task
  3. Write a clear description of what you want accomplished
  4. Select an AI agent (Claude Code, Gemini CLI, etc.)
  5. Optionally specify a branch name
  6. Click Start Task

Task Lifecycle

Tasks progress through several stages:

  • Queued - Waiting for a VM to be provisioned
  • Running - AI agent is actively working
  • Waiting - Agent is waiting for your input
  • Completed - Task finished successfully
  • Failed - Task encountered an error

Monitoring Progress

While a task is running, you can:

  • View real-time streaming output from the AI agent
  • See file changes and diffs as they happen
  • Send follow-up messages to guide the agent
  • Stop the task if needed

Follow-up Messages

You can send additional instructions to the AI agent at any time. This is useful for:

  • Clarifying requirements
  • Requesting changes to the approach
  • Asking the agent to fix issues
  • Approving or rejecting proposed changes

Code Review

When a task completes, you can review all changes before they're committed:

  • View diffs for each modified file
  • Check the git branch status
  • Create a pull request directly from Rebyte
  • Or request additional changes from the agent
