Task Showcase

May 12, 2026 · View on GitHub

A tiny Flask app that consolidates Webwright runs for repeatable odyssey tasks (those whose answer changes over time — deals, inventory, listings, job boards, weather, etc.) into a single dashboard.

Each task ships only two files:

tasks/<short_id>/
  task.json     – metadata (title, theme, cadence, level, prompt, website)
  report.json   – curated, structured agent output: {sources, result.sections}

The Flask app is fully generic: templates iterate sources and result.sections without any per-task branching, so adding a new task is just dropping in a new folder with those two files.

Run

pip install flask
python app.py            # serves http://127.0.0.1:5005

To render JSON generated by a Webwright run without copying it back into this folder, point the app at that run's generated tasks directory:

python app.py --tasks-dir ../../outputs/default/<run>/task_showcase/tasks

The task_showcase.yaml runtime overlay writes the same directory shape under the run workspace and then smoke-tests this renderer against it.

report.json shape

{
  "sources": [
    {"name": "Slickdeals", "url": "https://slickdeals.net/", "note": "front-page best deal"}
  ],
  "result": {
    "headline": "Today's bargain roundup",
    "sections": [
      {"type": "summary", "title": "...", "body": "..."},
      {"type": "table",   "title": "...", "columns": [...], "rows": [[...], ...]},
      {"type": "list",    "title": "...", "entries": ["..."]},
      {"type": "kv",      "title": "...", "entries": [["k", "v"], ...]},
      {"type": "cards",   "title": "...", "entries": [
        {"title": "...", "subtitle": "...", "fields": [["k","v"]], "url": "..."}
      ]}
    ]
  }
}

The 6 included tasks (Slickdeals, Pokémon TCG, Austin apartments, The Ophelia Pittsburgh, NZ→AU legal roles, this-week driving weather) each map to an odyssey benchmark task whose underlying pages refresh on a schedule, so the dashboard makes sense to re-run repeatedly.
