What problem does it solve? Multi-step work with parallel lanes, timed follow-ups, or human approval gates falls apart when handled as one-shot chat turns or rows in a todo file. This Skill gives such work durable state, crash recovery, and owner visibility by running it on a dedicated Hermes Kanban board. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Project kickoff flow: Clarifies goals and HITL gates, creates a Projects/<slug>/ folder with about.md, and provisions a project-<slug> board via Joshu bridge MCP tools, kanban_* tools, the Hermes CLI, or direct SQLite insert as a last resort. - Worker execution protocol: Defines how child tasks read their card, work in the project workspace, send mail through nylas_send_message under an action guard, and use kanban_block when waiting on owner approval or external replies. - Follow-ups and supervision: Schedules wave-2 cards with scheduled_at or parent dependencies, logs milestones only in journals, and exposes boards through Hermes Admin. - Use Case: You need to email ten recipients, get owner approval on each send, and follow up three business days later. The Skill creates a triage root card, decomposes per-recipient tasks, blocks on approvals, and schedules the follow-up wave automatically. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to start a Kanban project for your multi-step outreach campaign, including the goal, recipients, and any approval gates.
