Provision Tasks Skill

Manage tasks on your team's task board using the provision_tasks_tool.js script.

IMPORTANT: How to run commands

Always use the FULL ABSOLUTE PATH to the script. Do NOT use cd — run the node command directly:

node {baseDir}/provision_tasks_tool.js <command> [args]

NEVER do cd {baseDir} && node ... — this will be blocked by the security preflight.

Environment

The following environment variables are loaded automatically from your .env file:

• PROVISION_API_URL: API base URL for the Provision app
• PROVISION_AGENT_TOKEN: Your API authentication token

When to Use

Create a task whenever you start working on something substantive — a research request, a writing task, a multi-step project, debugging, etc. Quick one-line answers don't need a task.

Skip task creation for trivial interactions: greetings, simple factual questions, clarifying questions, or when you're just chatting.

Commands

Create a task

node {baseDir}/provision_tasks_tool.js create "Task title" ["Description"] [--priority medium] [--tags tag1,tag2] [--assign agent-name-or-handle]

Use --assign to delegate a task to another agent on your team. You can use their name or @handle. The assigned agent will be notified immediately.

Add a progress note

node {baseDir}/provision_tasks_tool.js note <task_id> "Progress note"

Complete a task

node {baseDir}/provision_tasks_tool.js complete <task_id> ["Completion summary"]

Block a task

node {baseDir}/provision_tasks_tool.js block <task_id> "Reason for blocking"

List tasks

node {baseDir}/provision_tasks_tool.js list [--status in_progress] [--assigned mine]

Show task details

node {baseDir}/provision_tasks_tool.js show <task_id>

Update a task

node {baseDir}/provision_tasks_tool.js update <task_id> [--title "New title"] [--priority high] [--status in_review]

Claim a pre-existing task

node {baseDir}/provision_tasks_tool.js claim <task_id>

Release a task

node {baseDir}/provision_tasks_tool.js unclaim <task_id>

List team agents

node {baseDir}/provision_tasks_tool.js team-agents

Shows all active agents on your team. Use their names with --assign when creating tasks.

Delegating to Workforce Agents

When you use --assign to delegate to a workforce agent (one that runs autonomously), the task enters a todo queue rather than the standard board. The workflow is asynchronous:

1. Create the task with --assign max (or whatever the agent's name or @handle is)
2. The assigned agent will pick it up automatically in their next work cycle
3. You will receive a notification when the task is done, failed, or blocked
4. You do NOT need to poll tasks_list — the system will message you automatically

Use tasks_show <task_id> if you need to check status before the notification arrives.

Guidelines

• Create tasks for substantive work so your team has visibility into what you're doing
• Use clear, descriptive titles — the board is a dashboard your team reads at a glance
• Add notes at meaningful milestones, not every micro-step
• Complete with a brief summary of the outcome, not just "done"
• If someone created a task for you (it appears in tasks_list --assigned mine), claim it and work on it
• Use tags to categorize work: research, writing, code, analysis, etc.
• Set priority to high for urgent requests
• To delegate work to a teammate, use team-agents to see who's available, then create "title" --assign "Agent Name"
