worker

You can coordinate OMX team worker tasks in tmux sessions by using a standardized protocol that handles startup ACKs, mailbox inbox reading, and claim-safe task lifecycle updates via the omx CLI.

The startup ACK protocol requires a worker in a tmux pane to send an acknowledgment to the lead mailbox before processing any assigned tasks, ensuring reliable team state synchronization.

You manage task lifecycles safely with the omx CLI by reading inbox files, claiming tasks safely to prevent conflicts, progressing task statuses, and coordinating updates with the overall team state.

This worker protocol applies specifically to OMX teams where workers operate in tmux-based panes and rely on mailbox task lifecycles, so it is not designed for non-tmux environments.

Yes, the worker skill enforces state-first checks and robust interop with the omx CLI for reliable task delivery, enabling rollback when needed to maintain mailbox dispatch discipline.

To start an OMX worker session, you need to set the OMX_TEAM_WORKER environment variable and follow the startup protocol to acknowledge and begin processing tasks.
