tick-coordination

Multi-agent work coordination with Git-backed tracking uses Tick files (TICK.md) to organize tasks and track progress. Agents claim tasks, post updates, and mark completion while preserving an auditable history in Git.

The Tick protocol is a task management system using TICK.md files with YAML frontmetadata and Markdown task blocks. It enables AI-human collaboration through natural language interactions for task creation, claiming, and completion.

Initialize Tick in your project to generate TICK.md files containing YAML frontmatter and inline task blocks. You then manage agent task workflows, perform status checks, and validate tasks via CLI or MCP tools.

Yes, Tick protocol supports optional MCP integration alongside CLI tools. This allows you to execute agent task workflows, perform real-time status checks, and run validation for multi-agent projects.

Git-backed task management via Tick applies directly to projects with both humans and bots. It supports task creation, claiming, updates, and completion while preserving Git-backed history for all participating agents.

Coordination via Markdown task blocks relies on YAML frontmatter and structured TICK.md files for validation. It requires agents to strictly follow the protocol's task workflows to maintain an accurate auditable history in Git.
