Taskspaces
Taskspaces are a way to orchestrate multiple agents working on different copies of your code. Currently, taskspaces are all stored on your local machine and agents run synchronously -- i.e., when your editor is not active, the agent is also not active. But we would like to support remote development (e.g., cloud-hosted or via ssh) and persistent agents (see the 
How to use them
Launch the Desktop app. Create a new project and give it the URL of your git repository. This will clone your git repository.
Granting permissions
The Desktop app is designed to work with any editor. It does this by using the Mac OS X Accessibility APIs to move windows from the outside and screen capture APIs to capture screenshots. You need to grand these permissions.
Creating taskspaces
Create your first taskspace with the "+" button. VSCode will launch and open up the agent.
Once in the taskspace, you can spawn a new taskspace by telling the agent to "spawn a new taskspace" and describing the task you would like to perform in that space.
Taskspace logs and signals
The agent has accept to MCP tools to report logs and signal for your attention. Logs reported in this way will show up in the Desktop app.
Stacked windows
If you check the "Stack Windows" button, then all of your editor windows will be arranged into a stack so that only one is visible at any time. When you click on a taskspace, it will be brought to the top of the stack. When you drag or resize windows, the others in the stack will follow behind.
Activating and deactivating a taskspace
When you close the window for your editor, the taskspace will be "deactivated". This currently means that the agent is halted.
When you click a deactivated taskspace, the window will re-open and the agent will be reinvoked and asked to resume your conversation.
Deleting taskspaces
You can delete a taskspace with the trashcan button or by asking the agent to "delete this taskspace".
How it is implemented
The Desktop app is written in Swift. You will find documentation on in the Symposium application specifics section.
