Description
Description
Let's add a button to the Task's prompt box that will clear all of the text currently in the box and return it back to it's empty state. Something akin to the "x" here you see in Google's search box:
Specific Behaviour
Add in an "x" button to the left of "Run Task" that will
- Only appear and is enabled when there's text in the prompt box
- Is otherwise generally visible, but disabled if no text is present
- Has a tooltip that says "clear"

Is there a need for users to frequently want to clear the whole textarea? I don't think that's a common or expected behaviour in this context. And when in doubt, we should keep it as minimalistic and simple as possible. We can always reconsider if a clear need for this functionality appears.

@david-fraley are there any other examples of this UX in the wild?
