For Go, the key components are:

<Accordion title="type MyFirstTask struct{}">
`MyFirstTask` is a struct that implements the `Task` interface. It represents the task to be executed.
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="func (t *MyFirstTask) Execute(ctx context.Context) error">
The `Execute` method is the entry point for executing the task. This is where the task's logic is defined. It's invoked by a [task runner](/workflows/concepts/task-runners) when the task runs and performs the task's operation.
</Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Note>
The code samples on this page do not illustrate how to execute the task. That will be covered in the
[next section on task runners](/workflows/concepts/task-runners). The reason for that is that executing tasks is a separate concern from implementing tasks.
