Built-in skill
Background Tasks
Productivityv0.1.0Understand and report on long-running background work. Some jobs — generating a video, a scheduled run — take longer than a single reply, so they run in the background: your AI starts the job, tells you it's working, and delivers the result back into the chat when it's ready. Check progress any time, and view, cancel, or mute tasks in the Background Tasks app.

Grant model
How granting works
A skill is a permission you hand to an agent — not a silent preload.
- 1Pick it in SkillsAll 24 built-in skills live in one list. Background Tasks is there on day one — nothing to install.
- 2Grant it per agentA skill is a permission, not a preload. Each agent only carries the skills you've granted it, and you can take one back any time.
- 3It reaches only what's declaredThis one declares no access at all — the ledger below is the receipt.
What the agent is told
Report on long-running background jobs the user started (video renders, scheduled runs) and deliver the result when it lands.

Business
Run a product catalog and stock on-device: create inventories (each with one currency), add products to a shared pool, list them per inventory with cost / MRP / sale price + stock, organise with categories, set up taxes (GST with parallel CGST/SGST components, inclusive or exclusive) and quote tax on any amount. Ask your AI to add a product, restock an item, find what's low, or value your stock on hand. Container deletes are owner-only.
