SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Pitfalls, edge cases, and best practices for Hermes Kanban workers, ensuring safe, predictable handoffs and reliable task execution. The lifecycle and its auto-injected KANBAN_GUIDANCE block provide a structured framework; this skill dives into deeper scenarios to improve reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detailed guidance on lifecycle stages (orient, work, heartbeat, block/complete) and how they map to worker behavior.
  • Edge-case catalog for workspace isolation, tenant scoping, and retry diagnostics in cross-agent Kanban tasks.
  • Concrete examples and handoff patterns to reduce failures and improve collaboration across agents.

Frequently Asked Questions about kanban-worker

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

FAQPage Schema
What are common Kanban handoff pitfalls in multi-agent workflows?

Kanban handoff pitfalls include workspace isolation failures, tenant scoping errors, and retry diagnostics issues across cross-agent tasks. This skill provides an edge-case catalog and concrete examples to ensure safe, predictable handoffs and reliable task execution for Hermes workers.

How do I handle retry strategies for dispatched workers across different operating systems?

Retry strategies for dispatched workers are handled by detailing edge cases and lifecycle descriptions that apply across Linux, macOS, and Windows runtimes. The embedded KANBAN_GUIDANCE block provides concrete examples and safe defaults to mitigate dispatch failures.

How do Kanban lifecycle stages map to worker behavior in multi-agent systems?

Kanban lifecycle stages—orient, work, heartbeat, block, and complete—map to worker behavior by providing a structured framework for task execution. This skill offers detailed guidance on how each stage dictates worker actions and ensures predictable handoffs.

Does this Kanban guidance apply to multi-agent workflows on macOS and Windows?

Yes, this Kanban guidance applies to multi-agent workflows across Linux, macOS, and Windows runtimes. It mitigates dispatch pitfalls and details edge cases for workspace isolation and tenant scoping, ensuring safe handoffs between orchestrators and dispatched workers.

Why do workspace isolation and tenant scoping fail during cross-agent Kanban tasks?

Workspace isolation and tenant scoping fail during cross-agent Kanban tasks due to unhandled edge cases in dispatch and handoff patterns. This skill catalogs these specific edge cases and provides concrete examples to reduce failures and improve collaboration.
