function New-TaskFromPrompt { <# .SYNOPSIS Asks for a task's name, cadence and steps, then registers it. .DESCRIPTION The steps are the point. A second task exists because it runs with different parameters: "everything but Python, daily" alongside "only Python, monthly", for a toolchain something else depends on being held steady. That is why this asks for tags rather than only a schedule. Blank answers take the defaults, so a person who only wants a second weekly run presses Enter four times. .PARAMETER DefaultName Offered as the default name. Replacing a task passes its current name. .PARAMETER Replace Overwrite a task of the same name rather than refusing. .EXAMPLE New-TaskFromPrompt #> [Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessageAttribute('PSAvoidUsingWriteHost', '', Justification = 'Write-Host is the user interface of a console maintenance tool.
