Focus Chain for Task Management
Focus Chain is a task management enhancement that keeps long-running tasks organized with an automatic To-Do list and real-time progress tracking. It helps you stay aligned with complex work by maintaining clear, actionable steps even across long sessions. When using AI-powered features, you remain responsible for reviewing outputs and ensuring they match your requirements.
- Automatic To-Do list generation from a task request.
- Editable markdown To-Do lists.
- Real-time progress indicators in the task header.
- Configurable reminder cadence for keeping lists current.
- Plan Mode and Act Mode integration for complex work.
When you start a task, Agentforce Vibes analyzes the request and creates a markdown checklist. As work progresses, the checklist updates to reflect completed and in-progress items, and the task header shows a step counter (for example, “3/8”). Click the task list to open it in the editor to make any changes. Agentforce Vibes detects the changes and syncs the updated list back into the task workflow.
To use Focus Chain effectively:
- Start with a clear task description so the initial To-Do list is meaningful.
- Review the generated checklist and edit items as needed in the Markdown file.
- Use the progress indicator to track the current step and remaining work.
- If you switch from Plan Mode to Act Mode, verify that the new To-Do list matches your agreed plan.
- Focus Chain tracks progress based on checklist state, not actual code quality or correctness.
- To-Do lists are stored as local Markdown files and aren't shared by default.
- Plan Mode guidance is optional; you still must validate and refine steps for your use case.
