What problem does it solve? Dispatched Kanban workers often fail at handoffs: they claim cards they never created, write vague block reasons, send useless heartbeats, or repeat the mistakes of prior failed runs. This Skill provides the deeper operational detail beyond the auto-injected lifecycle guidance so workers complete, block, and hand off tasks correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured handoff patterns: Concrete kanban_complete summary and metadata shapes for coding, research, and review tasks, including review-required flows that block with structured comments. - Workspace and tenant handling: Rules for scratch, shared directory, and git worktree workspaces, plus tenant-prefixed memory writes to prevent cross-tenant context leaks. - Retry and edge-case diagnostics: How to interpret prior run outcomes (timed_out, crashed, spawn_failed, reclaimed, blocked) and avoid repeating failed approaches. - Use Case: A worker finishes a rate limiter implementation, posts structured metadata as a comment, and blocks with a review-required: reason so a human reviewer can approve and unblock it. ## Quick Start Load the kanban-worker skill and show me how to complete my current Kanban task with a proper summary, metadata, and any cards I created.
