[tasks]
Agent-task list configuration. Controls the stale-task- reminder cadence the agent injects when the model hasn’t called any task_* tool in a while. Both knobs measure distance in assistant turns — not user messages — so the cadence tracks how often the model is doing work, not how chatty the user is. Defaults of 8/8 mean a reminder can fire after 8 assistant turns without a task write, with a minimum 8-turn spacing between consecutive reminders.
Setting either knob to a very large value effectively disables the corresponding gate; setting both to large values disables reminders without removing the [tasks] section.
turns_between_reminders
Section titled “turns_between_reminders”Minimum spacing between consecutive reminders, in assistant turns. Default 8.
turns_since_task
Section titled “turns_since_task”Number of assistant turns without any task_* tool call before the reminder is eligible to fire. Default 8.
