A task attempt represents a single session with a coding agent against a task. Most tasks only need one attempt, but you may need additional attempts for fresh restarts.
|
|
|
|
## When to Create New Task Attempts
|
|
|
|
Create a new task attempt when you want to:
|
|
|
|
- **Start from scratch** with a different approach after an unsuccessful attempt
|
|
- **Try a different coding agent** (e.g., switching from Claude to Codex)
|
|
- **Use a different agent profile or variant** for specialised behaviour
|
|
- **Work from a different base branch** to incorporate recent changes
|
|
- **Reset the conversation context** for a completely fresh start
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
Most users will only need one attempt per task. Only create additional attempts if the first approach didn't work as expected.
|
|
</Tip>
|
|
|
|
## Creating Additional Attempts
|
|
|
|
To create a new task attempt for an existing task:
|
|
|
|
<Steps>
|
|
<Step title="Navigate to the task">
|
|
Open the task that needs a fresh attempt.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Click Create New Attempt">
|
|
Click the triple dot icon in the top right of the task, then select **Create New Attempt**.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Configure the attempt">
|
|
Choose your agent profile, variant, and base branch. These can be different from previous attempts.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
|
|
<Step title="Start execution">
|
|
Click **Create Attempt** to begin a fresh execution with the new configuration.
|
|
</Step>
|
|
</Steps>
|
|
|
|
## Impact on Subtasks
|
|
|
|
<Warning>
|
|
Creating new task attempts affects subtasks. Subtasks are linked to specific task attempts, not tasks themselves.
|
|
</Warning>
|
|
|
|
When you create a new task attempt:
|
|
|
|
- **Existing subtasks** remain linked to their original parent attempt
|
|
- **New subtasks** created from the new attempt will use the new attempt's branch as their base
|
|
|
