What problem does it solve? Dispatched Kanban workers often fail silently or produce unusable handoffs because they mishandle workspaces, write vague block reasons, claim cards they never created, or repeat the mistakes of prior failed runs. This Skill provides the deeper operational detail that prevents those failures. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Workspace and tenant handling: Defines correct behavior for scratch, shared directory, and git worktree workspaces, plus tenant-prefixed memory isolation. - Structured handoffs: Shows good summary and metadata shapes for coding, research, and review tasks, including review-required blocking flows with comment-based context. - Retry diagnostics and pitfalls: Explains how to interpret prior run outcomes (timed_out, crashed, spawn_failed, reclaimed, blocked) and avoid repeating failed approaches. - Use Case: A worker agent spawned to fix a rate limiter completes its work, posts structured metadata as a comment, and blocks with a 'review-required' reason so a human reviewer can approve before merge. ## Quick Start Load this skill when dispatched as a Hermes Kanban worker and follow its guidance to orient on the task, send meaningful heartbeats, and complete or block with well-formed handoffs.
