+## Task Names
+
+A task name follows these rules:
+
+- **No spaces** are allowed in the name.
+- Must **be unique** within the table.
+- [`_`]("underscores") at the start of the name will **hide** the task from the `pixi task list` command.

+Hiding tasks can be useful if your project defines many tasks but your users only need to use a subset of them.

 ## Caching
 
 When you specify `inputs` and/or `outputs` to a task, Pixi will reuse the result of the task.
