SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps when you're blocked from using Edit, Write, or NotebookEdit tools due to a missing active task. It provides quick pathways to either create a new task (which is automatically claimed) or to claim an existing task for the current session.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Create-and-claim: Automatically creates a new task in_progress so you can continue work without manual task setup.
  • Claim existing tasks: Suggests and assigns a suitable task to your current session to resume work.
  • Session-scoped: Ensures task ownership and state continuity across actions within the same session.

Quick Start

Create or claim a task for your current session to unblock Edit, Write, or NotebookEdit commands.

Frequently Asked Questions about claiming-tasks

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
Why am I blocked from using Edit or Write tools due to no active task?▼

You are blocked from Edit and Write tools because development workflows require an active task with in_progress status assigned to your current session before modifications are permitted.

How do I create and claim a task for my current development session?▼

To create and claim a task, invoke gobby-tasks create_task with your session_id and task_type, which automatically assigns the new task to your session with in_progress status.

Can I claim an existing task instead of creating a new one?▼

Yes, you can claim an existing task by calling gobby-tasks claim_task with the proper session_id, which assigns the task to your current session and unblocks your workflow.

What does session-scoped task ownership mean for development workflows?▼

Session-scoped task ownership ties the task state and assignment to your specific session_id, ensuring state continuity and proper task tracking across actions within the same development session.

Do I need an active task to use NotebookEdit tools?▼

Yes, NotebookEdit requires an active task assigned to your current session. You must create or claim a task with in_progress status before NotebookEdit commands will execute.
