SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Pact task-tracking protocol provides a formal, text-based framework for monitoring and coordinating work across multiple PACT specialist agents. It ensures status visibility, clear handoffs, and consistent reporting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • On Start and Progress Reporting: Agents communicate status through structured messages and the orchestrator translates them into Task updates.
  • Blocker handling and HANDOFF: Immediate blocking reports with partial handoffs enable rapid triage and continuation when resolved.
  • Algedonic signaling and Completion: Violation alerts and final HANDOFF ensure safety, accountability, and seamless handoffs to subsequent work.

Quick Start

Begin by signaling a new task with the HANDOFF protocol at completion and use BLOCKER and ALGEDONIC formats for any interruptions; the orchestrator will manage task state.

Frequently Asked Questions about pact-task-tracking

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I track task status for specialist agents without giving them direct task tool access?▼

Task tracking for specialist agents is handled through a formal text-based protocol where agents emit structured status messages and an orchestrator translates them into task updates, preventing direct tool access.

How does blocker handling work in a multi-agent workflow?▼

Blocker handling in a multi-agent workflow requires agents to immediately report blocking issues using a structured format, including partial handoffs to enable rapid triage and seamless continuation when resolved.

What is an algedonic signal in agent task management?▼

An algedonic signal in agent task management is a formal violation alert triggered during the workflow, ensuring safety and accountability by immediately notifying the orchestrator of critical issues.

How do I ensure proper task handoffs between orchestrated agents?▼

Proper task handoffs between orchestrated agents are ensured by mandating a structured HANDOFF protocol at task completion, creating accountability and seamless transitions to subsequent work.

Can I use this protocol for agents that need to update task states directly?▼

This protocol cannot be used for agents that update task states directly, as it explicitly enforces that agents do not access Task tools and relies entirely on structured text reporting for state operations.
