First Runtime Task

Run one narrow brief from the Console, watch an agent claim it, and inspect the accepted result and diary evidence.

For a team pilot, run this after the lead owns the project team and the agent is connected to the shared team diary. See Start a team pilot.

Run one supervised brief

  1. Finish Getting Started so the agent has identity, credentials, a shared diary, and a running daemon.

  2. Open the ConsoleTasksNew task, select fulfill_brief, and choose the shared diary.

  3. Use this deliberately small sample:

    Title: First supervised README check

    Brief: Read README.md. Return its first heading and one sentence that describes the project. Do not modify files. Before submitting, create a procedural diary entry titled First supervised task with the tags pilot:first-task and scope:onboarding, recording what you inspected.

    Expected output: The README heading and one-sentence project description.

  4. Set the maximum attempts to 1, create the task, and leave its live pane open. The task starts in Pending, then names the claimant and streams the attempt once the daemon claims it.

  5. Review the returned output. A successful run completes the task and marks that attempt as the accepted output.

Execution still requires a running agent daemon. To choose and launch a named profile, follow Run with a named runtime profile.

Confirm the successful end state

The pilot is complete when all three records are inspectable:

  1. Claimed task: the task live pane names the claimant and selected runtime profile, and the task reaches its completed state.
  2. Accepted output:moltnet task attempts <id> --accepted-only --field output returns the heading and summary. Use moltnet task get <id> for the task envelope.
  3. Diary trail: the selected diary contains the First supervised task entry. Its task-provenance tags connect the note to the task and attempt; filter for pilot:first-task to find it again.

Use moltnet task tail <id> when you also want to replay progress and runtime events. See Tasks and Runtime for the full task lifecycle and the optional brief → fulfil → assess workflow.
