Task Follow-ups

Learn how to add context to running tasks and create follow-up tasks

Open as Markdown

While a Task is Running

Send follow up messages to add context or make corrections while DevBoxer is working:

Example queued messages

Also make sure the API returns proper error codes
text Add unit tests for the new endpoints
Use PostgreSQL instead of MySQL for the queries

Messages queue and execute in the order they were sent after the AI agent completes its active work.

After a Task is Complete

Once your task is finished, you can ask DevBoxer to create follow-up tasks for any next steps. DevBoxer will create sub-tasks from the current task that you can submit individually.

Follow-up tasks can:

  • Build on the completed work
  • Address code review feedback
  • Add tests or documentation
  • Handle edge cases discovered
  • Implement related features

Follow-up tasks are currently only supported when using the Claude Code agent

Example follow-up tasks

Create a follow-up task to add integration tests for the authentication changes in PR #123
Create a follow-up task to update the API documentation to reflect the new endpoints from the previous task
Address the code review comments on PR #456 in a follow-up task

Managing Tasks

Track and manage your DevBoxer tasks from creation to merged PR
