GitHub-Native Distributed Coordination

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a robust mechanism for multiple agents or processes to claim and manage work items without conflicts, ensuring no task is duplicated or lost, even if agents fail.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Atomic Work Claiming: Uses GitHub issue comments as an atomic operation to claim tasks.
• Lease Management: Implements time-based leases to automatically recover orphaned work.
• Stale Work Recovery: Detects and reclaims work from agents that have become unresponsive.
• Zero External Infrastructure: Leverages GitHub's native features (issues, comments, labels) as the coordination backend.
• Use Case: Distribute a batch of processing tasks among several worker machines, ensuring each machine claims a unique task and that tasks are reassigned if a worker machine crashes.

Quick Start
