Agent Tasks Overview
agent-tasks coordinates AI coding agents around a shared task pipeline with configurable stages, dependencies, subtasks, artifacts, and threaded comments. Its eight MCP tools cover task creation and search, metadata updates, lifecycle actions, artifact handling, and project configuration. Tasks can be claimed, assigned, advanced, regressed, completed, failed, or cancelled while dependency and stage-gate rules control progress. Reach for it when multiple agents need shared work state rather than separate todo lists.
Primary Use Cases for Agent Tasks:
- Coordinate coding tasks across multiple AI agents
- Claim the next unassigned task with satisfied dependencies
- Track specifications, plans, tests, and reviews as task artifacts
- Search and inspect transitive task dependencies
