FAQPage Schema

How do I coordinate multi-agent work with Git-backed task tracking?▼

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.

What is the Tick protocol for AI-human collaboration?▼

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.

How do I initialize task management for multiple agents using TICK.md?▼

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.

Can I use MCP tools with Tick protocol for task workflows?▼

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.

Does Git-backed task management work for both human and bot agents?▼

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.

What are the limitations of coordinating agents with Markdown task blocks?▼

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.
