Taskboard — Kanban Task Management

Central orchestration tool for Atomizer HQ. All agents interact with the shared taskboard.

Quick Reference

TB="/home/papa/atomizer/workspaces/shared/skills/taskboard/taskboard.sh"

# List your tasks
CALLER=my-agent-name bash "$TB" list --agent my-agent-name

# List by status or project
bash "$TB" list --status in-progress
bash "$TB" list --project gigabit-m2

# View task details
bash "$TB" view TASK-001

# Update task status (any agent can update their own tasks)
CALLER=my-agent-name bash "$TB" update TASK-001 --status in-progress --note "Started research"
CALLER=my-agent-name bash "$TB" update TASK-001 --status review --note "Draft posted to #technical"

# Kanban summary (counts per column)
bash "$TB" summary

# Kanban snapshot (markdown for Discord)
bash "$TB" snapshot

Manager-Only Commands

# Create a task
CALLER=manager bash "$TB" create \
  --title "Research CCZ thermal properties" \
  --assignee webster \
  --priority high \
  --project gigabit-m2 \
  --description "Full thermal comparison: CTE, conductivity for CCZ HS vs Zerodur" \
  --deliverable-type analysis \
  --deliverable-channel technical

# Complete a task
CALLER=manager bash "$TB" complete TASK-001 --note "Deliverable accepted"

# Cancel a task
CALLER=manager bash "$TB" cancel TASK-002 --reason "Superseded by new approach"

Status Flow

backlog → todo → in-progress → review → done
                      ↓
                  cancelled

For Executor Agents (non-Manager)

On every session start:

1. Check your tasks: CALLER=<you> bash "$TB" list --agent <you>
2. If you have todo tasks: update to in-progress and start working
3. When work is done: update to review and post deliverable to the target Discord channel
4. Append progress to shared/project_log.md

Important

• taskboard.json is the single source of truth — never edit it directly
• Only Manager creates/completes/cancels tasks — other agents update status
• All writes are atomic (tmp file + mv) with flock locking
• Set CALLER env var so your name appears in logs and notes
