# Task Group

> Run ordered intake steps, each with its own prompt, output, and tools

A **Task Group** is a sequence of intake steps on one canvas node. Use it when you always collect the same series of details (name, then email, then phone) without a separate task node for each.

## Add it

Right-click empty canvas → **Add Node** → **Task Group**. Connect it from a **Supervisor** or **Agent**.

## General

* **Group Name** — Shown on the canvas (for example, User Intake).
* **Intake Steps Sequence** — Select **Add Step** for each field you need.

Each step has:

* **Task Name**
* **Instructions / Prompt**
* **Expected Output Variable** — **Output Key** and **Output Type** (**String / Text**, **Number / Numeric**, or **Boolean (Yes/No)**)
* **Tools** — Optional tools for that step only

Open a step with the settings control on the card. Delete a step you no longer need. Empty groups show a prompt to add the first step.

<Tip>
  Keep one output key per step and name keys so later prompts can refer to them clearly.
</Tip>

## Tools on the group

The group node itself has a **Tools** tab for tools that apply across the sequence. Prefer enabling tools on the step that actually needs them.

## Verify

<Check>
  The group has a name, at least one step with prompt and output, and paths in and out of the group.
