# @task(...)

`prism.decorators.task(`*`*, retries: int = 0, retry_delay_seconds: int = 0, targets: List[Callable] = []`*`)`

* **Parameters**
  * `*`: indicates that the `task` decorator only accepts keyword arguments.
  * `retries`: total number of times to retry the task upon failure. Default is 0.
  * `retry_delay_seconds`: number of seconds to wait in between task retries. Default is 0.
  * `targets`: list of [`target`](https://docs.runprism.com/v0.2.1/api-reference/target-...) decorator calls. Default is an empty list.

from prism.decorators import task, target
from prism.target import Txt

@task(
    retries=1,
    retry_delay_second=60,
)
def example_task_function(tasks, hooks):
    # do some stuff here
    return ...
