Plan and run agent tasks

Four lessons on the path from an idea to a pushed branch: split the work into issues, check what a change touches, run an agent on one issue, and choose the role prompt it gets.

How the pieces connect

Task Planner and Task Implementer both read the active task server from ~/.config/robos/settings.json, which you edit in the Task Servers app. Task Implementer starts the coding-agent CLI you pick in <robos-agent-selector> (Codex, AGY, Claude Code or GitHub Copilot) and streams its output. It does not create a sandbox, clone the repository or open the pull request. Run an agent on a task lists exactly what it does.
