SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the risk of failed tasks, incorrect state updates, and wasted compute for Hermes Kanban workers by providing clear guidance on common execution pitfalls, proper handoff patterns, and edge case handling that is not included in the auto-injected KANBAN_GUIDANCE system prompt block.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive Workflow Guidance: Covers workspace handling (scratch, shared persistent directories, git worktrees), tenant isolation, correct kanban_complete/kanban_block usage, and retry diagnostics for failed runs.
  • Codex Lane Integration: Includes full guidance for spawning an isolated Codex CLI implementation lane for bounded coding tasks, including safety guardrails, worktree isolation rules, and reconciliation checklists.
  • Use Case: A worker handling a code review task can use this skill to correctly format review findings in structured metadata, while a worker assigned a bounded refactor task can safely spawn a Codex lane to handle implementation without violating Hermes ownership rules.

Quick Start

Use the kanban-worker skill to follow correct handoff patterns, handle workspace isolation, and avoid common pitfalls when executing Hermes Kanban worker tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions about kanban-worker

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I prevent state handoff errors in multi-agent kanban workflows?

To prevent state handoff errors in multi-agent kanban workflows, apply correct kanban_complete and kanban_block usage patterns along with tenant isolation rules to ensure accurate task status updates and workspace boundaries.

How do I use git worktrees for tenant isolation in autonomous agent orchestration?

Git worktrees provide tenant isolation in autonomous agent orchestration by creating isolated workspace directories for each worker, preventing file conflicts and ensuring safe concurrent task execution across shared persistent directories.

How do I spawn an isolated Codex lane for bounded coding tasks?

Spawning an isolated Codex lane for bounded coding tasks requires following specific worktree isolation rules and safety guardrails to delegate code implementation without violating Hermes ownership rules during multi-agent software development.

Why do my Hermes Kanban worker tasks fail during retry diagnostics?

Hermes Kanban worker tasks fail during retry diagnostics when common execution pitfalls like incorrect workspace handling, improper kanban tool usage, or missing Codex lane safety guardrails are not addressed before state handoffs.

What is the best way to format code review findings in a multi-agent kanban system?

The best way to format code review findings in a multi-agent kanban system is using structured metadata fields within the kanban task, ensuring review results are correctly parsed by autonomous workers during state transitions.
