What problem does it solve?
This Skill coordinates long-running, multi-session work by providing a persistent, dependency-aware Task system that tracks progress across contexts, sessions, and sub-agents.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Persistent Task objects: Each task has ID, status, dependencies, blockers, and an assigned model.
- Atomic discovery & claiming: Agents claim work atomically using provided scripts to avoid duplicate effort.
- Stale-claim recovery: Built-in automatic recovery resets abandoned tasks, ensuring progress resumes quickly.
- Cross-model collaboration: Supports multi-Model (Opus, Flash) coordination across agents and sessions.
Quick Start
Initialize your task list at .agent/TASKS/MASTER_TASKS.json, then use the included Python scripts to validate, claim, update, and complete tasks. For example:
- Validate: python .agent/skills/universal-tasks/scripts/validate_task.py MCP_001
- Claim: python .agent/skills/universal-tasks/scripts/sync_tasks.py MCP_001 in_progress <AGENT_ID>
- Complete: python .agent/skills/universal-tasks/scripts/sync_tasks.py MCP_001 completed <AGENT_ID>
