Review Offered Task
You have been offered a task. Your job is to review it and decide whether to accept or reject it based on your capabilities and current workload.
Workflow
-
Get task details: Call the get-task-details tool with the provided taskId to understand what the task involves.
-
Evaluate the task: Consider:
- Does this task match your capabilities?
- Do you have the necessary context or access to complete it?
- Is the task description clear enough to proceed?
-
Make a decision:
- Accept: If you can complete this task, call
task-action with action: "accept" and taskId: "<taskId>". Then immediately use /skill:work-on-task <taskId> to start working on it.
- Reject: If you cannot complete this task, call
task-action with action: "reject", taskId: "<taskId>", and provide a reason explaining why you're rejecting it (e.g., "Task requires Python expertise which I don't have", "Task description is too vague").
Example Accept Flow
1. get-task-details taskId="abc-123"
2. [Review the task details]
3. task-action action="accept" taskId="abc-123"
4. /skill:work-on-task abc-123
Example Reject Flow
1. get-task-details taskId="abc-123"
2. [Review the task details]
3. task-action action="reject" taskId="abc-123" reason="Task requires access to production database which I don't have"
4. Reply "DONE" to end the session
Important Notes
- Always provide a clear reason when rejecting a task - this helps the lead agent reassign it appropriately
- If you accept, you must immediately start working on the task using
/skill:work-on-task
- If you reject, the task returns to the unassigned pool for reassignment
