SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Kanban Worker skill exposes deep guidance on the Hermes Kanban dispatcher’s lifecycle, enabling teams to reason about pitfalls, handoffs, and diagnostics when coordinating multi-agent tasks. It describes how to structure workspace usage, tenancy, and metadata for reliable cross-agent collaboration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detailed guidance on workspace kinds (scratch, dir:, worktree) and tenant isolation to prevent cross-tenant leaks.
  • Best practices for Kanban handoffs using kanban_create, kanban_block, kanban_complete, and kanban_comment to coordinate work between agents.
  • Diagnostics and edge-case handling for task lifecycle (orient → work → heartbeat → block/complete) with retry and unblock patterns for robust automation.

Quick Start

Load this skill when the Hermes Kanban worker starts to apply advanced guidance to task handoffs and failure scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions about kanban-worker

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

FAQPage Schema
How do multi-agent Kanban workflows handle task handoffs between agents?▼

Multi-agent Kanban workflows handle task handoffs using structured metadata operations like kanban_create, kanban_block, and kanban_complete to coordinate work states. This ensures reliable cross-agent collaboration and clear task lifecycle transitions.

What is tenant isolation in multi-agent Kanban deployments?▼

Tenant isolation in multi-agent Kanban deployments prevents cross-tenant data leaks by defining strict workspace semantics. It applies across Linux, macOS, and Windows environments to ensure agents operate within designated boundaries safely.

How do I structure workspace kinds for a Hermes Kanban dispatcher?▼

You can structure workspace kinds for a Hermes Kanban dispatcher using scratch spaces, dir: paths, or worktrees. Choosing the right workspace kind prevents cross-tenant leaks and ensures reliable task execution across operating systems.

Does the Kanban task lifecycle support retry and unblock patterns?▼

Yes, the Kanban task lifecycle supports retry and unblock patterns through its orient, work, heartbeat, block, and complete stages. These patterns provide diagnostic and edge-case handling for robust automation recovery during multi-agent task execution.

What are common Kanban worker pitfalls during multi-agent task coordination?▼

Common Kanban worker pitfalls include improper workspace usage, lack of tenant isolation, and unstructured metadata for handoffs. Applying structured metadata for kanban_complete, kanban_block, and kanban_create mitigates these cross-agent collaboration failures.
