Save the current conversation as a reusable task template

Two-layer task system: task templates (reusable definitions with input placeholders) and work items (instances in the Task Queue with priority tiers and status tracking).

Task Templates

Templates are reusable definitions saved from conversations. They capture the conversation pattern with placeholders that can be run later with different inputs. Manage templates with the assistant task CLI:

# Save the current conversation as a reusable task template
assistant task save --conversation-id <id> --title "Weekly report"

# List all saved task templates
assistant task list

# Run a saved template with specific inputs
assistant task run --name "Weekly report" --inputs '{"team": "engineering"}'

# Delete a task template by ID
assistant task delete <id>

Work Items (Task Queue)

Work items are the user-facing "Tasks" managed through conversation. They track status and priority:

• Priority tiers: 0 = high, 1 = medium (default), 2 = low
• Status flow: queued -> running -> awaiting_review -> done
• Resolution precedence: work_item_id > task_id > task_name > title

Manage the queue with assistant task queue:

# View the current task queue
assistant task queue show

# Add an item to the queue (ad-hoc or from a template)
assistant task queue add --title "Review Q2 metrics" --required-tools host_bash,web_search

# Update a work item's status
assistant task queue update --work-item-id <id> --status done
