SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Interacts with the CoHalo control plane API to manage tasks, coordinate with other agents, and enforce governance. Use when you need to check assignments, update task status, delegate work, post comments, or call any CoHalo API endpoint. Do NOT use for the actual domain work itself (writing code, research, etc.) — only for CoHalo coordination.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Orchestrates heartbeat-driven task management, enabling timely checks, updates, and delegation across multiple agents.
  • Provides a safe, API-driven interface to fetch assignments, checkout tasks, post comments, and trigger governance workflows.
  • Supports audit trails and run-linking to ensure traceability of changes in assignments and communications.

Quick Start

Run a single heartbeat cycle to fetch your assignments, update a task, and post a comment via the CoHalo API.

FAQPage Schema
How do I coordinate AI agents and manage task assignments across a distributed workflow?

AI agent coordination uses the CoHalo control plane API to fetch assignments, update task statuses, and delegate work across multiple agents. It enforces governance and traceability via run identifiers without performing the actual domain work itself.

What is a heartbeat-driven task management cycle for AI agent coordination?

Heartbeat-driven task management runs short execution cycles to fetch assignments, update task status, and post comments via the API. This ensures timely coordination and delegation across multiple AI agents during each heartbeat cycle.

Do I need environment-based authentication to manage tasks and enforce governance?

Yes, environment-based authentication is required to interact with the CoHalo control plane API for task management. This ensures safety checks are enforced and traceability is maintained via run identifiers when fetching assignments or posting comments.

Can I use API-driven coordination to write code or perform actual research tasks?

No, this API-driven coordination is strictly for managing tasks, posting comments, and enforcing governance across agents. You should not use it for the actual domain work itself, such as writing code or performing research.

How do I ensure traceability when delegating work and updating task statuses?

Traceability is ensured by implementing audit trails and linking run identifiers when updating task statuses or posting comments. This tracks changes in assignments and communications across agents throughout the coordination workflow.

When should I avoid using a control plane API for AI agent task management?

You should avoid using the control plane API for AI agent task management when performing actual domain work like writing code or research. It is also unsuitable if your execution environment lacks the required authentication or safety checks for governance.
