What problem does it solve? Dispatched Kanban workers often fail silently by producing vague block reasons, hallucinating created card IDs, skipping heartbeats, or mishandling shared workspaces. This Skill provides the deeper operational detail beyond the auto-injected lifecycle guidance so workers complete, block, and hand off tasks correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured handoffs: Patterns for kanban_complete summaries and metadata shaped for downstream parsers, including review-required flows using kanban_comment plus kanban_block. - Workspace and tenant handling: Rules for scratch, shared dir:, and git worktree workspaces, plus tenant-prefixed memory entries to prevent cross-tenant leakage. - Retry diagnostics: Interprets prior run outcomes (timed_out, crashed, spawn_failed, reclaimed, blocked) so retries avoid repeating failed paths. - Use Case: A worker dispatched to fix a rate limiter finishes with 14 passing tests, posts structured metadata as a comment, and blocks with a review-required: reason so a human reviewer can approve before merge. ## Quick Start Load the kanban-worker skill and follow its handoff patterns to complete your current Kanban task with a structured summary and metadata.
