SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Automatically derive and present a stable view of a task's status without mutating its state, enabling quick assessment of readiness and health.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic status computation reporting staleness, hash integrity, and activation eligibility for tasks.
  • Supports JSON output and non-writing mode for safe reporting and auditing.
  • Integrates with task metadata and lifecycle tracking in agent workflows to inform decisions.

Quick Start

Run a status snapshot on a target task directory to obtain a readout of its current epistemic and lifecycle state.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check task status and staleness without modifying the current state?

Check task status by running a deterministic computation against task metadata to report staleness, hash integrity, and activation eligibility. This provides a stable, read-only view of the task's health without mutating its current state.

What is deterministic task status computation in agent workflows?

Deterministic task status computation is a read-only evaluation of task metadata that reports staleness, hash validation, and activation eligibility. It provides a stable view of task health across diverse agent lifecycles without modifying the underlying state.

Can I get JSON output for task status reporting and auditing?

Yes, you can generate JSON output for task status reporting. This format supports safe auditing by providing a structured, non-writing mode readout of the task's current lifecycle and hash validation metrics without modifying task state.

Does task status computation work with non-writing mode for safe reporting?

Yes, task status computation supports a non-writing mode for safe reporting. This ensures the task state remains entirely unmodified while you assess staleness and activation eligibility for auditing purposes.

What is the best way to validate task hash integrity during a workflow?

The best way to validate task hash integrity is to compute a deterministic status snapshot. This checks the task directory metadata to verify hash validation and activation eligibility without mutating the workflow state.

When do I need to compute task activation eligibility?

Compute task activation eligibility when you need to assess task readiness within an agent's workflow. Deterministic status computation reports this metric alongside staleness and hash integrity to inform lifecycle decisions without modifying state.
