Activity

If you turn on Record tasks as notes (Settings → Files), the plugin records each task in a note in ICAP/Tasks/. ICAP/Activity.base shows these task notes. Below is the first view of that base. It uses the same component as the plugin.

The setting is off by default. Then the plugin writes nothing into your vault, and the mark in the status bar opens the plugin’s own list of recent tasks.

When the plugin records a task

The plugin records a request block as a task when one of these occurs:

• The agent uses a tool.
• The agent makes, changes or deletes a file.
• The agent asks you a question.
• The conversation has more than one round.

The plugin always records a task that makes a note. It does not record explanations, recalls, checks or quizzes.

Go back to the request

Select the name of a task to open the note where you asked. The note opens at the request block. If you kept the block, the note opens at the [!request] record. To open the task note, hold Ctrl (Cmd on macOS) when you select the name.

How to read a row

• The dot shows the status. A filled dot that pulses: the agent works. A ring: the agent waits for you. Grey: done. Red: failed.
• The line below the request shows the model, the note of the task, the changed files, the time, and the estimated cost.
• The strip shows the steps of the task from left to right. A light colour is a step that reads. A solid colour is a step that changes a file. Hatching is a step that waits for you.

To see what a step did, point to it or move the focus to it.

The strip shows only the tasks that run on this device.

ICAP style

To use the accent colour of your theme, turn off ICAP style. In the example above, the checkbox at the top right does the same.
