/tasks

Effects and persistence

Inspects and manages background work and completed subagents in this session.

Cautions

Task status and session status have different scopes; inspect the specific background task before stopping work. From v2.1.285, background work Claude Code runs for itself is folded under one "System tasks" row; press Enter on it to expand. The time limit on background Bash and PowerShell commands (their timeout with run_in_background, default 30 minutes, maximum 2 hours) was added in v2.1.285 and applies only in unattended sessions such as -p, the Agent SDK, CI, and cloud from v2.1.288.
