SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of not knowing whether delegated agent work is still running, failed, or finished, and how to fetch the completed outputs when the time comes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Task status visibility: List tasks and filter by status (running, completed, error) so you can monitor progress.
  • Result retrieval: Get details for a specific task to access outputs once it is completed.
  • Lifecycle cleanup: Mark tasks as done to remove them from tracking after you’ve processed results.
  • Use Case: Delegate a coding task to a sub-agent, keep working while it runs, then pull back the generated result and mark the task as done to prevent clutter.

Quick Start

Ask your AI to list delegated tasks that are currently running and return their status and task IDs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I track delegated agent tasks and check if they are running or completed?

Track delegated agent tasks by requesting a list operation with a status filter to monitor running, completed, or error states. This provides visibility into background agent work and returns task IDs for retrieving specific results.

How do I retrieve results from a background task once it finishes?

Retrieve completed task results by passing the specific task_id to a get_task operation. This fetches the finalized outputs and details of the delegated agent work after it reaches a completed state.

What is the best way to manage error states in delegated agent workflows?

Manage error states in delegated agent workflows by listing tasks filtered by an error status. This surfaces failed background delegations so you can inspect the task details and handle the error state appropriately.

How do I clean up completed tasks and remove them from background tracking?

Clean up completed tasks and remove them from tracking by executing a mark_done operation with the relevant task_id. This lifecycle cleanup prevents clutter after you have processed the retrieved results.

Can I filter delegated tasks by status to monitor background agent progress?

You can filter delegated tasks by status using the optional status_filter field in the list_tasks operation. This limits the returned tasks to running, completed, or error states for targeted workflow monitoring.

What operations are required to manage delegated tasks in an agent workflow?

Managing delegated tasks requires an operation-based payload supporting list_tasks, get_task, and mark_done. These validated fields handle monitoring running delegations, retrieving completed results, and finalizing lifecycle cleanup.
