UiPath Tasks Skill

Generate Tasks workflows for human-in-the-loop, system-in-the-loop, and task management patterns in UiPath.

Plugin architecture: This skill's extensions/ directory is auto-discovered by uipath-core's plugin_loader.py. Generators, lint rules, scaffold hooks, namespaces, and known activities are registered at import time — no manual wiring needed. Core's generate_workflow.py, validate_xaml, and scaffold_project.py query the plugin registries at runtime.

Plugin API contract (v2)

This skill is the canonical example for out-of-tree plugin authors. The contract:

• REQUIRED_API_VERSION = 2 must be declared at the top of extensions/__init__.py. Plugins on v1 (or with no declaration) fail to load with a clear API version mismatch error and any partial registrations are rolled back.
• Registration entry points added in v2: register_version_profile(package, profile_version, profile_dict) and register_band_profile_mapping(band, package, profile_version) — used by lint 122 (version-band drift). Call register_band_profile_mapping once per (band, package) pair. Registering after the lint module is already imported automatically invalidates the lint caches, so the new entries take effect on the next lint pass without any reload.
• Atomic commit: every register_* call made during a plugin's load (including from submodules imported from __init__.py) is captured in the registry snapshot. If __init__.py raises before completing, all registrations from that plugin are reverted. The registry is never observed in a partially-loaded state by other plugins or by core.
• Out of scope for rollback: non-registry side effects (file writes, env vars, threads spawned at import time, monkey-patches). Confine those to lazy paths invoked after a successful load.
• Test that load succeeded: assert plugin_loader.get_load_failures() == [] after load_plugins(). A plugin that raised during load surfaces in that list with its filename and exception.
