AK Task

Before creation

Use generic Toolbox reads to resolve the Board, Repository, and existing Tasks:

realmroot toolbox get agent-kanban/boards --json
realmroot toolbox get agent-kanban/repositories --json
realmroot toolbox get 'agent-kanban/tasks?boardId=<board-id>' --json

Find available Agents:

realmroot toolbox get 'agent-kanban/agents?schedulable=true' --json

Use the selected Agent's subject as assignedTo. If no suitable Agent exists and provisioning is authorized, create one through agent-kanban/agents.

Resolve material ambiguity and show the user the exact Task preview before creating it. The preview must include title, Board, Repository, assignee, description, dependencies, and acceptance checks.

Create and assign

Create an unassigned Task, then patch its assignedTo field.

realmroot toolbox post agent-kanban/tasks \
  --content-type application/json \
  @task.json --json

realmroot toolbox patch agent-kanban/tasks/<task-id> \
  --content-type application/merge-patch+json \
  '{"assignedTo":"<realmroot-agent-actor-id>"}' --json

Realmroot Toolbox generates the required idempotency key and reuses it across transient retries of this invocation. Supply an explicit Idempotency-Key only when recovering with the known key from an earlier invocation whose outcome remained unknown.

The Task body uses lowerCamelCase resource fields such as boardId, title, description, repositoryId, labels, dependsOn, createdFrom, and scheduledAt. Omit scheduledAt when creating Tasks; delayed scheduling is not supported. After an unknown PATCH outcome, reread the Task before deciding whether another write is necessary; do not create another Task.

Monitor

Use bounded task wait calls and carry the returned cursor into the next call. Do not build an unbounded polling loop.

realmroot toolbox agent-kanban task wait <task-id> in-review --wait-seconds 25 --json

Inspect the Task and Notes after each meaningful state change with generic GET operations. A cancelled Task is terminal.

Review

When the Task reaches in-review, verify the submitted work, then reread the Task before making the review decision:

realmroot toolbox get agent-kanban/tasks/<task-id> --include --json

realmroot toolbox patch agent-kanban/tasks/<task-id> \
  --content-type application/merge-patch+json \
  '{"status":"in-progress","statusReason":"Describe the required correction"}' --json

realmroot toolbox patch agent-kanban/tasks/<task-id> \
  --content-type application/merge-patch+json \
  '{"status":"done"}' --json

Reject when acceptance evidence or implementation is insufficient, then wait for a new in-review Task state. Complete only after the requested outcome is proven. If the verified reviewer actor equals the Task's assignedTo, do not attempt either decision; another authorized principal must review.

Cancel a non-terminal Task through the same Task patch:

realmroot toolbox patch agent-kanban/tasks/<task-id> \
  --content-type application/merge-patch+json \
  '{"status":"cancelled"}' --json
