SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually tracking and routing unclaimed kanban tasks to the correct specialized AI agents is tedious, error-prone, and leads to delayed task execution and workflow bottlenecks for multi-agent operational stacks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated Prefix-Based Routing: Matches task assignee prefixes to the correct agent skill (e.g., news-agent tasks route to the news agent skill) without manual intervention.
  • Dual Trigger Support: Runs on a 2-hour cron schedule for regular automated dispatch, or can be triggered manually for on-demand task delegation.
  • Built-In Retry Logic: Automatically resets failed tasks to ready status so they are re-processed in the next dispatch cycle, no manual follow-up required.
  • Use Case: For teams running a suite of specialized AI agents (news monitoring, academic research, wiki maintenance) managed via a kanban board, this skill ensures no unclaimed tasks sit idle, keeping the entire knowledge curation workflow running smoothly.

Quick Start

Use the kanban-dispatcher skill to automatically route all unclaimed ready kanban tasks to their matching agent skills immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions about kanban-dispatcher

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically route unclaimed kanban tasks to AI agents?▼

Automated task routing matches unclaimed ready kanban tasks to specialized agent skills using assignee prefix matching. This ensures hands-free dispatch without manual intervention for multi-agent workflow orchestration.

What is the best way to handle failed tasks in a multi-agent kanban workflow?▼

Handling failed tasks in a multi-agent kanban workflow requires built-in retry logic. The system automatically resets failed tasks to ready status so they are re-processed in the next dispatch cycle.

Can I trigger multi-agent task dispatch on-demand instead of using a cron schedule?▼

Triggering multi-agent task dispatch supports both scheduled cron runs and manual on-demand delegation. You can immediately route all unclaimed ready kanban tasks to matching agent skills without waiting for the automated schedule.

How does prefix-based routing work for multi-agent kanban boards?▼

Prefix-based routing for multi-agent kanban boards matches task assignee prefixes to the correct agent skill. For example, tasks assigned with a news-agent prefix route directly to the news agent skill for execution.

Do I need specialized agent skills configured before using automated kanban dispatch?▼

Using automated kanban dispatch requires specialized agent skills to be configured as routing targets. The dispatcher matches unclaimed ready tasks based on assignee prefixes to delegate execution to the appropriate specialized agents.

Why are unclaimed tasks sitting idle on my multi-agent kanban board?▼

Unclaimed tasks sit idle on multi-agent kanban boards when manual tracking and routing causes workflow bottlenecks. Automated dispatch via scheduled cron runs or manual triggers ensures no unclaimed ready tasks are left unprocessed.
