Docs / Workflows / Chaining tasks

Chaining tasks

Reliable chains use a single source of truth—often a small state file in your workspace—that each duty updates. Ask the model to append dated notes rather than overwriting blindly.

Guardrails

• Keep stages short; long chains should checkpoint after every major artifact.
• Require explicit “ready for next stage” flags in the state file.
• When something fails, leave an error note the next duty can detect.

Visualizing chains on the Team Board

The Team Task Board makes complex pipelines easier to manage. Chained duties feature visual badges showing their position in the workflow:

• Upstream badge: Shows which task must complete before this one starts.
• Downstream badge: Shows which task will be triggered next upon success.
• Run next editing: You can change the "Run next" target directly from the task card on the board, allowing you to rewire your team's pipeline without opening deep settings.
