Indices Task Management

When To Use

Use this skill for:

• indices tasks create
• indices tasks list
• indices tasks get
• indices tasks retry
• indices tasks regenerate-api
• indices tasks delete

Create Task

Argument mode (default)

indices tasks create \
  --display-name "Apply to jobs" \
  --website "https://jobs.example.com" \
  --task "Fill and submit the form"

indices --json tasks create \
  --display-name "Apply to jobs" \
  --website "https://jobs.example.com" \
  --task "Fill and submit the form"

Never set is_fully_autonomous to true (in any argument mode)

Argument-mode flags:

• --display-name <string> (required)
• --website <url> (required)
• --task <string> (required)
• --input-schema <string>
• --output-schema <string>
• --creation-params <json-object>

Task-creation rules:

• Prefer the simple form above. Do not pass --creation-params unless you need a specific advanced option.
• Schema auto-generation is the default. Leave it enabled unless you are intentionally providing manual schemas.
• If you disable schema auto-generation with {"auto_generate_schemas":false}, you must also provide both input_schema and output_schema or the API returns 422.
• If you provide manual schemas, provide both --input-schema and --output-schema.

Explicit JSON source

indices tasks create --body '{"display_name":"Apply","website":"https://jobs.example.com","task":"Submit form","creation_params":{}}'
indices tasks create --file ./task.json
cat task.json | indices tasks create

Rules:

• Use at most one of --body, --file, --stdin.
• Do not mix explicit JSON source flags with argument-mode flags.
• If no args/source are provided and stdin is piped, JSON is read from stdin.

After creating a task

Inspect the returned current_state before deciding the next step:

• If current_state is waiting_for_manual_completion, direct the user to https://platform.indices.io/tasks/{task_id}.
• If current_state is not_ready, the task is still being generated; poll with indices tasks get <task-uuid>.
• If current_state is ready, it can be executed.
• If current_state is failed, inspect the failure details before retrying or recreating anything.

List Tasks

indices tasks list
indices --json tasks list
indices tasks list --status ready --limit 20

Notes:

• Valid --status: not_ready, waiting_for_manual_completion, ready, failed
• --json is a global flag; do not use --output json

Failure Handling

If tasks list, tasks get, or tasks create returns failed to serialize or parse response or reports a missing response field:

• Stop and treat it as CLI/API version drift
• Run indices --version and which indices
• If you are in the CLI repo, retry with cargo run -- ... or reinstall with cargo install --path .
• Do not create more tasks as a workaround until the mismatch is resolved

Get, Retry, Regenerate API

indices tasks get <task-uuid>
indices tasks retry <task-uuid>
indices tasks regenerate-api <task-uuid>

Delete Task

indices tasks delete <task-uuid>
indices tasks delete <task-uuid> --yes
