How do I use the Brain's Tasks, Done and Notes?
Each Brain has its own tasks, done and notes beside session. These are separate from a project's sidebar records. Choose the Brain tab first, then the section you want.
Before you start
Keep Codus open to run a task. Saving a task records it; it does not start the Brain until you choose Run.
Add and run a task
- Open Brain → tasks → New task.
- Describe the work and click Save task.
- Click Run. A queued task waits for that Brain to be ready.
- Read its progress in the task row or switch to session.
- Use Retry for a failed or interrupted task, or Run again for completed work. Re-running can repeat actions, so check what already happened first.
Edit is unavailable while a task is running. Cancel requests cancellation; check the resulting status before assuming work has stopped. Archive hides a non-running task without deleting it. Enable Show archived, then Restore to bring it back.
Save a note
- Open notes → New note.
- Enter the note, with an optional title, type and tags.
- Click Save note. Use Edit for changes or Archive to hide it.
Find completed or older work
done contains completed tasks and work logged by that Brain. Remove asks for confirmation and removes the record, not the code or files produced by the work.
Use Search, Refresh and Load more to find records. Earlier history shows shared records from before Brains had separate workspaces. That history is read-only; choose Back to [Brain name] to return.
How do I know it worked?
The new task or note appears under the intended Brain's name. A run progresses beyond queued, and completed work appears in done. Cloud sync status tells you whether the record has also reached the cloud.
