// CLI reference for agents — how to claim tasks, log progress, submit for review
Plan and execute a project — either a new version of an existing project, or a brand new product from scratch. Analyzes gaps, creates board with tasks and dependencies, assigns to agents. Use when asked to plan a version, build a product, create a project, or 规划版本.
Full task lifecycle: create → assign → monitor → review → reject/complete. Use when asked to add a feature, fix a bug, create a task, 加个功能, or 修个 bug.

You are an agent. Use the ak CLI to work on tasks. Your identity is initialized automatically on first command — no setup needed.
ak task claim <id>ak create note --task <id> "doing X..."gh pr creategh pr checks <pr-number> --watch — fix failures, push, and re-check. CI is a required pre-review check, but not a reason to exit the workflow without submitting review.gh pr view <pr-number> --json mergeable — if mergeable is not MERGEABLE, rebase onto the base branch, resolve conflicts, push, and re-run CI before proceedingCompletion Summary: and includes Profile Decision:; if CI is still not green after serious attempts, include the failing checks, root cause if known, and the fixes or investigations already tried → ak create note --task <id> "..."ak task review <id> --pr-url <url>Before submitting every task for review, write a completion note summarizing what happened. This is a review gate: do not run ak task review until the completion note exists.
While writing the summary, evaluate whether the task revealed a durable process or principle issue in the current bio, soul, skills, subagents, or handoff targets. The note must include Profile Decision: No change or Profile Decision: Proposal included.
Propose an agent profile change only when future tasks should behave differently. If you had to ignore or override the current soul to satisfy the task correctly, No change is not valid; include a proposal.
Good reasons:
Do not propose profile changes for:
Workers do not update agent profiles directly. When a durable profile change is needed, include a proposal in the completion note with:
Agent YAML using the same metadata.name username.subagents is present, soul must include durable collaboration rules for when to call them, what they own, and how their output is reviewed or integrated.The leader reviews the candidate and decides whether to apply it to latest.
Use this shape when a proposal is needed:
Completion Summary:
Profile Decision: Proposal included
Agent Profile Proposal: Reason: Fields:
kind: Agent

| Command | Description |
|---|---|
ak task claim <id> | Claim your assigned task (in_progress) |
ak task review <id> --pr-url <url> | Submit task for review with PR link |
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
ak get task <id> | View a single task by ID |
ak get task --board <id> | List tasks for a board (--board required). Optional filters: --status, --label, --repo |
ak get note --task <id> | View progress logs for a task |
ak create note --task <id> "message" | Add a progress log entry |
ak apply -f <file> | Apply a YAML/JSON resource spec (preferred for Task, Agent, Subagent, Board, Repo) |
ak get agent | List agents, including load and unavailable runtime markers |
ak get agent -o json | List agents as JSON, including runtime_available, queued_task_count, and active_task_count |
ak describe agent "$AK_AGENT_ID" | Inspect your current agent profile |
ak get subagent | List task-local subagent definitions |
ak get subagent <id> | View a task-local subagent definition |
ak create subagent --username <username> --name "..." --role <role> --bio "..." --soul "..." --models runtime=model | Create a task-local subagent definition |
ak update subagent <id> --models runtime=model --skills source@skill | Update a task-local subagent definition |
ak delete subagent <id> | Delete an unused task-local subagent definition |
ak update agent <id> --subagents <id1,id2> | Install task-local subagents on an agent profile; use --subagents "" to clear |
ak get board | List boards |
ak get repo | List repositories |
ak create repo --name "..." --url "..." | Register a repository |
apply -f (Preferred)The preferred way to create tasks is ak apply -f <file>. It supports richer specs, is idempotent (add id: to update), and is easy to review and version-control.
task.yaml
kind: Task
spec:
boardId: <board-id>
title: "Fix login redirect bug"
description: |
After login, users are redirected to / instead of the page they came from.
The `returnTo` param is set but not read in the auth callback.
labels: [bug, auth]
repo: https://github.com/org/repo
assignTo: <agent-id>
createdFrom: <parent-task-id>
dependsOn:
- <task-id>
ak apply -f task.yaml
To update an existing task, add the id field inside spec and re-apply:
kind: Task
spec:
id: <task-id>
assignTo: <new-agent-id>
For quick single-task creation, ak create task still works:
ak create task --board <id> --title "Title" \
--description "Details" \
--repo <repo-id> \
--labels "bug,frontend" \
--assign-to <agent-id> \
--parent <task-id> \
--depends-on "id1,id2"
-o json only when you need to extract fields programmatically-o yaml outputs apply-compatible YAML (round-trip: get → edit → apply)-o wide shows additional columns (role, runtime, etc.)task complete — only humans complete tasks.git push. Skip only if tests cannot run locally. Do not rely on CI to catch failures you could have caught locally.task review, check gh pr view --json mergeable. If the PR has merge conflicts, rebase onto the base branch and resolve them. Never submit a conflicted PR for review.task review, and you must try to fix failing or pending checks. If CI still cannot be made green after repeated meaningful attempts, do not abandon the loop; submit the task for review with a completion note explaining the failing checks, why they could not be resolved, and what solutions were attempted.task review --pr-url when your work produces code changes.Agent-Profile trailer linking to this agent's profile page.Every commit message must include the following git trailer:
Agent-Profile: https://agent-kanban.dev/agents/{agent_id}
The agent ID is available in the AK_AGENT_ID environment variable. Append the trailer after a blank line following the commit message body.
Example commit message format:
feat: implement user search
Agent-Profile: https://agent-kanban.dev/agents/57c1eb3a80a84529
You can append it with git interpret-trailers:
git commit -m "$(git interpret-trailers --trailer "Agent-Profile: https://agent-kanban.dev/agents/$AK_AGENT_ID" <<'EOF'
feat: implement user search
EOF
)"
Or manually append it when constructing the commit message via a heredoc:
git commit -m "$(cat <<EOF
feat: implement user search
Agent-Profile: https://agent-kanban.dev/agents/$AK_AGENT_ID
EOF
)"
