What problem does it solve?

This Skill codifies the API background task conventions, ensuring consistent, auditable, and safe patterns for long-running work by guiding task definitions, metrics, and lifecycle handling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces a Task base class where all background tasks inherit and implement run_task.
  • Defines a Metrics enum for structured measurement and avoids raw counters.
  • Uses SubTask for batched processing to prevent unbounded workloads.
  • Implements JobLog-based status tracking and ensures cleanup in finally blocks.
  • Provides context-enrichment guidance for integration with the simpler-grants context server and related MDCs.

Quick Start

Integrate these rules when adding a new API background task by extending the Task base, defining Metrics, and following the prescribed patterns.
