Scheduled tasks should have configurable visibility in recents
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
Scheduled tasks (routines) are intentionally hidden from the "recents" chat list, making it difficult to discover and review past routine outputs.
Problem Details
- User runs automated routines (e.g., daily standup, weekly reports) and has no easy way to access past runs from the main UI
- - Must navigate to a separate "Routines" panel or use CLI to view outputs
- - - This creates friction for tasks that should be discoverable like any other chat session
- - - - Routines are just automated sessions with structured outputs — hiding them entirely treats them differently from manual sessions without good reason
Proposed Solution
Add a configurable toggle to control whether routine runs appear in the recents list:
Option 1: Global Setting
- Settings → Routines → ☑ Show routine runs in recents
Option 2: Per-Routine Setting
- When creating/editing a routine, add checkbox: ☑ Add to recents on completion
Why This Matters
Users should have agency to decide: "I want to see my daily standup in recents" vs "I don't want my background Agent cluttering recents."
Use Case
Operations PM runs daily-chatlog-standup routine every morning. Wants to quickly scan outputs in recents or bookmark them. Currently must navigate to a separate Routines panel.
Alternative Solutions
Currently users have no workaround except manually checking the Routines panel or using the CLI (/schedule list). Both require extra navigation outside the main chat interface.

Critical - Blocking my work
Feature Category
Interactive mode (TUI)
Use Case Example
Scenario: Operations PM runs a daily-chatlog-standup routine every morning to review daily progress and blockers.
Current workflow:
- Routine completes and generates a structured summary
- 2. User must navigate to the Routines panel to review the output
- 3. Cannot bookmark or quick-access from recents
With this feature:
- Routine completes and output appears in recents like any other chat
- 2. PM can quickly scan it alongside other conversations
- 3. Can bookmark routine runs or reference them in other discussions
