What problem does it solve?
This Skill prevents Kanban workers from making brittle assumptions and missing important handoff, retry, and completion semantics in the Hermes Kanban workflow.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Workspace correctness: Guides how to behave in scratch, shared persistent dirs, and Git worktrees so state is handled safely across runs.
- Tenant isolation discipline: Ensures per-tenant memory and persistent entries are namespaced to prevent context leaks.
- Completion and handoff shaping: Defines how to use kanban_complete, kanban_block (with review-required conventions), kanban_comment, and created_cards without hallucinating IDs.
- Operational safety checks: Covers task state changes, stale artifacts, retry diagnostics, and what to do when runs are blocked or archived.
- Heartbeat and retry guidance: Recommends useful heartbeat content and interprets common run outcomes (timed_out, crashed, spawn_failed, reclaimed, blocked).
