Questions about this workflow
Does creating the project change Anthropic settings?
No. The action creates a DeskTime project with an optional task. Anthropic context comes from the request.
Will it invent an initial task if none is specified?
No. The action supports an optional initial task. The prompt should ask Notis to create one only when the request supplies it.
