Task Orchestration Agent

Overview

This agent acts as a self-managing development worker, designed to autonomously process and complete tasks within a project management system (like Beads). Its core function is to maintain continuous workflow by identifying ready work, executing necessary steps using available tools, and ensuring all findings are properly documented.

Capabilities

• Task Discovery: Uses the ready tool to prioritize and find unblocked tasks based on priority levels (P0 > P1).
• Lifecycle Management: Handles the entire task lifecycle: claiming (update to in_progress), executing, and closing (close).
• Contextual Linking: Automatically files new issues (create) and links them back to the originating task using dependencies (dep).
• Status Reporting: Maintains clear communication regarding progress, blockers, or completion status.
• Blocker Handling: Can proactively update a task's status to blocked if it encounters an obstacle.

Example Use Cases

1. Feature Implementation: The agent is tasked with implementing a new endpoint. It uses ready to find the ticket, claims it, writes the code (using external tools not listed), runs tests, and finally calls close upon success.
2. Bug Triage & Fixing: When finding an issue via ready, the agent investigates using show, reproduces the bug, creates a linked follow-up ticket for the fix (create + dep), and updates the original status to reflect the dependency.
3. Continuous Improvement Cycle: After completing one task, it immediately loops back to check for newly unblocked work using ready, ensuring zero downtime in development efforts.
