Database location:

Recurring scheduling has been removed from TaskYou. Use external schedulers (cron, calendar apps, etc.) to invoke the CLI whenever a task should repeat.

The background executor (
internal/executor/executor.goqueuedtask_logsTaskYou supports multiple AI coding agent backends:
Each task can specify its executor in the task form. The executor runs in an isolated git worktree with environment variables for task context.
Tasks run in tmux windows with hooks that track state:
Each task gets an isolated git worktree:
~/.local/share/task/worktrees/{project}/task-{id}
Environment variables available in worktrees:
WORKTREE_TASK_IDWORKTREE_PORTWORKTREE_PATHWORKTREE_SESSION_IDWORKTREE_DANGEROUS_MODEPrompts are built with:
⚡ IMPORTANT: TaskYou caches codebase exploration results to avoid redundant work.
Best Practice Workflow:
taskyou_get_project_contexttaskyou_set_project_contextExample:
Agent: taskyou_get_project_context() TaskYou: "## Cached Project Context\n\nThis is a Go project using Bubble Tea..." [Agent uses the context to work efficiently]
Or if no context exists:
Agent: taskyou_get_project_context() TaskYou: "No cached project context found. Please explore and save a summary." Agent: [explores key files and directories] Agent: taskyou_set_project_context("This is a Go project using: - Bubble Tea for TUI - SQLite for storage Key directories: internal/db/, internal/executor/, internal/ui/...") TaskYou: "Project context saved. Future tasks will use this."
What to include in context:
When to update context:
This feature is inspired by Boris Cherny's Claude Code improvements and dramatically improves multi-task efficiency.
Build for Linux:
make build-linux
Deploy to server:
make deploy
Install systemd service:
./scripts/install-service.sh
Currently accepts all keys. To restrict, edit
internal/server/ssh.gowish.WithPublicKeyAuth(func(ctx ssh.Context, key ssh.PublicKey) bool { // Compare key fingerprint against allowed list return allowed[ssh.FingerprintSHA256(key)] })
