Build Your First Project

This section walks you from zero to a running Tasker workflow. Choose your path based on how you like to learn:

Quick Start

Quick Start — Two ways to get running fast:

• Path A: Clone an example app (5 min) — Docker Compose up, pick a framework, curl an endpoint
• Path B: Bootstrap with tasker-ctl (10 min) — Initialize a project, generate handlers, configure, and run

Step-by-Step Guides

If you prefer a guided walkthrough:

1. Installation — Install language packages and run Tasker infrastructure
2. Using tasker-ctl — Initialize projects, generate handlers from templates, manage configuration
3. Your First Handler — Write a step handler in your preferred language
4. Your First Workflow — Define a task template, submit a task, watch it execute

Language Guides

Comprehensive setup and API reference for each supported language:

• Ruby — Ruby workers with tasker-rb
• Python — Python workers with tasker-py
• TypeScript — TypeScript workers with @tasker-systems/tasker
• Rust — Native Rust workers with tasker-worker
