task-coordination

task-coordination is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from agentscope-ai/AgentTeams. It costs 36 tokens per session (1,060 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A coordination skill for shared task workspaces, using .processing marker files to show that a directory is currently being modified. It is intended for situations where a manager and worker may access the same task files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Marking a task workspace as busy, checking whether it is safe to edit, recording who is working there, and coordinating delegated operations such as Git work.
Why use it?
It helps prevent simultaneous edits from colliding or overwriting each other during delegated work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

task-coordination scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/check-processing-marker.sh, scripts/create-processing-marker.sh, scripts/remove-processing-marker.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Task Coordination

This skill provides a general coordination mechanism for shared task directories. It prevents conflicts when both Manager and Workers need to access/modify the same task workspace.

Problem

When a Worker delegates work to Manager (e.g., git operations), the Manager modifies the Worker's workspace. During this time, the Worker might also be modifying files, causing potential conflicts.

Solution

Use .processing marker files to signal "work in progress". Any party (Worker or Manager) must check for this marker before modifying a task directory.


Task Directory Structure

tasks/{task-id}/
├── workspace/          # Code workspace (shared between Worker and Manager)
├── notes/              # Worker's notes, plan.md, memory (not synced by Manager)
├── meta.json           # Task metadata
└── .processing         # Processing marker file (created when work in progress)

The .processing Marker

Format

Location: tasks/{task-id}/.processing

{
  "processor": "manager",
  "started_at": "2026-02-25T10:30:00Z",
  "expires_at": "2026-02-25T10:45:00Z",
  "operation": "git-delegation"
}

Fields

Field Description
processor Who is processing: manager or worker name
started_at ISO 8601 timestamp when processing started
expires_at ISO 8601 timestamp when marker expires (15 min default)
operation What operation is in progress (optional)

Expiration

The marker auto-expires after 15 minutes (configurable). This prevents deadlocks if a process crashes without removing the marker.


Coordination Protocol

Before Modifying Task Directory

Always follow this sequence:

  1. Sync from MinIO first:

    mc mirror "${AGENTTEAMS_STORAGE_PREFIX}/shared/tasks/${task_id}/" "/root/agentteams-fs/shared/tasks/${task_id}/"
    
  2. Check for .processing:

    bash /opt/agentteams/agent/skills/task-coordination/scripts/check-processing-marker.sh "$task_id"
    
    • Exit code 0: Safe to proceed (no marker or expired)
    • Exit code 1: Processing in progress, do NOT modify

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
