release-tasks

To release claimed tasks back to a shared work queue, use the release-tasks command to free all tasks claimed by the worktree or target a specific task by slug, making it available for other agents.

Tasks sit unclaimed when agents abandon work or hit external blocks. Expire stale claims using TTL limits and merged PR detection to automatically return blocked workflow tasks to the queue.

Return a single blocked task to the work queue by passing its slug to the release command, which removes your claim and makes that specific task available for agent reassignment.

Yes, you can automatically expire stale task claims by enforcing a Time-To-Live TTL threshold, which removes inactive claims and releases merged PR claims to prevent task stagnation.

Yes, the work-queue.sh dependency supports releasing all tasks claimed by a worktree simultaneously, allowing bulk cleanup when work is abandoned or manual reset is needed.

Manually release tasks when you recognize work is blocked by an external dependency, preventing stagnation and immediately returning the task to the queue instead of waiting for TTL expiration.
