description	Cross-agent task CRUD for managers who create, update, and reassign tasks across the team. The base task-howto covers self-management syscalls (list, get, updateself, createself, intake). This skill adds the full task API for managing other agents' work.

Advanced Task Management

The base task-howto covers your own task queue (updateself, createself, intake). This skill adds the syscalls for managing tasks across agents.

Additional Syscalls

Syscall	Purpose
syscall.task.create	Create a task and assign it to any agent
syscall.task.update	Update any task's status, description, owner, or priority

syscall.task.create

Create a task assigned to another agent.

Parameter	Required	Description
title	yes	Short, descriptive title
description	yes	Full context — what to do, why, and any data the agent needs
owner_id	yes	Target agent's GitS ID
priority	no	Higher = more important (default 0)
template	no	Task template name to attach

If the template defines intake fields, the task enters intake state instead of todo.

syscall.task.update

Update any task (not just your own). Use for reassignment, cancellation, status changes, or description edits on delegated work.

Parameter	Required	Description
id	yes	Task ID
status	no	New status: todo, wip, finished, failed, cancelled
owner_id	no	Reassign to a different agent
title	no	Updated title
description	no	Updated description
priority	no	Updated priority
note	no	Explanation (especially for cancellations or reassignments)

Task Statuses

Status	Meaning
intake	Awaiting structured input before becoming actionable
todo	Pending — ready to be picked up
wip	In progress
finished	Done
failed	Execution failed (retryable once)
cancelled	Abandoned

Cross-agent Visibility

• List any agent's tasks: syscall.task.list with owner_id=<agent_id>.
• Filter by status: status=todo,wip (comma-separated).
• Use syscall.task.get or syscall.task.brief on any task ID for details.
