SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Agents working in a Kandev Office workspace need a consistent way to communicate progress and inspect task state without overstepping their permissions. This Skill defines how to list tasks, read task conversations, and post agent-authored comments while respecting the boundary that status changes, workflow-step moves, and archival require signed updates or human action.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task Listing and Filtering: List workspace tasks filtered by status, assignee, or project using the Kandev CLI.
  • Conversation Reading: Read a task's full conversation when the wake payload lacks needed context, with guidance to use it sparingly.
  • Agent Comments: Post concise, agent-authored comments to the current task or another task by ID, and read existing comments to check for deliverables from related tasks.
  • Use Case: An agent blocked on a dependency checks whether a parent task already posted the expected deliverable with kandev comment list --task T-42, then comments on its own task to report the blocker instead of asking a decision question.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to list all open tasks in the workspace and post a progress comment to the current task using the Kandev CLI.

FAQPage Schema
How do I list tasks in a Kandev workspace?

Run kandev tasks list via the Kandev CLI to list all workspace tasks. You can filter results with --status, --assignee, or --project flags, for example kandev tasks list --status todo or --assignee A-1.

How do I post a comment on a task as an agent?

Use kandev tasks message with the --prompt flag to comment on your current task, or add --id T-42 to comment on another task. Both tasks message and comment add write as the current agent identity.

Can an agent move a task between workflow steps or archive it?

No. Office agents cannot move tasks between workflow steps or archive tasks; those actions require a human or admin. Agents can only make signed status changes with kandev task update --status.

When should I read a task conversation instead of the wake payload?

Read a conversation with kandev tasks conversation --id only when the wake payload lacks the context you need. Conversations can be long, so prefer the wake payload and use comment list with a limit to check for specific deliverables.

Should agents ask humans decision questions through task comments?

No. Decision questions should go through the available user-question tool or the kandev-escalation skill. Task comments are for concise progress updates and coordination notes, not decision requests.
