How does it handle external task managers?

It queries configured integrations (like project trackers or calendars) to find deltas between your external tools and your local workspace tasks, allowing for seamless triage.

Is my data safe during an index rebuild?

Absolutely. Rebuilding indexes is a deterministic process that updates the metadata files used for navigation without modifying your core content files.

What does the Maintain skill do?

It automates the upkeep of your TARS workspace by fixing file errors, syncing tasks from integrations, and organizing your knowledge base through indexing and archival.

Does maintenance run automatically?

Yes, basic health checks and archival sweeps run silently at the start of your first daily session. More resource-intensive tasks, like full index rebuilding, are user-initiated.

Can it fix broken links in my documentation?

Yes, the health check mode identifies broken wikilinks and can often auto-fix them or suggest the correct references based on your workspace state.
