Start Tasks

Use this skill to run execution continuously against an existing .tasks tree.

Primary Loop

  1. •Start by claiming work with tasks grab.
  2. •Implement the currently claimed work item(s).
  3. •When a task is complete, advance with tasks cycle [TASK_ID] (or just tasks cycle if context is set).
  4. •Repeat indefinitely until the user stops the session or no work remains.

Batch Semantics

  • •tasks grab may claim sibling batches by default.
  • •Complete each claimed task and call tasks cycle as each task reaches done-state.
  • •Do not reset to tasks grab between sibling completions unless context is lost.

CLI Efficiency (Avoid Repeated --help)

  • •Do not call tasks --help or <command> --help routinely.
  • •Use the command signatures below directly:
    • •tasks grab [--single|--multi|--no-siblings] [--agent AGENT] [--scope SCOPE]
    • •tasks cycle [TASK_ID] [--agent AGENT]
    • •tasks show [TASK_OR_SCOPE]
    • •tasks blocked [TASK_ID] --reason "..." [--no-grab]
    • •tasks skip [TASK_ID] [--no-grab]
    • •tasks handoff [TASK_ID] --to AGENT [--notes "..."]
  • •Only consult help output if an invocation actually fails due to argument mismatch.

Operational Guardrails

  • •Keep modifications bounded to the active claimed task context.
  • •Run targeted tests before each tasks cycle that marks work complete.
  • •If blocked, use tasks blocked --reason "..." promptly instead of stalling.
  • •Preserve dependency order; do not force-complete blocked tasks.
