FAQPage Schema
What is the lifecycle of a Hermes Kanban worker?

The Hermes Kanban worker lifecycle includes orient, work, heartbeat, and block or complete stages. Understanding these stages helps navigate specific workflow scenarios and avoid common pitfalls during execution and task handoffs.

How do I handle different workspace kinds in a Kanban workflow?

Kanban workspace handling involves managing scratch spaces, shared persistent directories, and Git worktrees. Proper workspace management ensures data isolation and prevents context leaks across different tenants during task execution.

How do I craft effective summaries and metadata for Kanban task handoffs?

Effective Kanban summary crafting requires structuring metadata properly for coding, research, and review tasks. This ensures clear context handoffs and prevents execution errors when workers claim newly created cards.

Why am I getting phantom ID errors when claiming Kanban cards?

Phantom ID errors during Kanban card claiming occur when cards created during execution are not properly tracked. Following correct claiming instructions and maintaining proper metadata structure prevents these execution errors.

Does Kanban worker execution require tenant isolation for context handling?

Yes, Kanban worker execution requires tenant isolation to prevent context leaks across tenants. Proper context handling and metadata structure are necessary to maintain separation and ensure effective workflow processing.

What are the limitations of Kanban worker context handling?

Kanban worker context handling limitations include potential tenant context leaks and phantom card ID errors. Without proper metadata structure and workspace management, task handoffs and execution may fail.
