mk:task-queue

mk:task-queue is a skill for Claude Code from ngocsangyem/MeowKit. It costs 39 tokens per session (764 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shared task list that assigns work to agents and tracks who owns which files during parallel development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to claim available tasks, record progress, enforce file ownership, and mark work as completed or blocked.
Why use it?
It prevents two agents from editing the same files and makes task status and dependencies visible.

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

mk:task-queue 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 9d ago.

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.

Task Queue & Ownership Tracker

Manages task assignment and file ownership during parallel execution.

Task Queue

Tasks are tracked in session-state/task-queue.json:

{
  "tasks": [
    {
      "id": 1,
      "description": "Implement API endpoints",
      "owner": null,
      "status": "pending",
      "ownership": ["src/api/*", "src/routes/*"],
      "blocked_by": []
    },
    {
      "id": 2,
      "description": "Implement UI components",
      "owner": null,
      "status": "pending",
      "ownership": ["src/components/*", "src/pages/*"],
      "blocked_by": []
    }
  ]
}

Task Lifecycle

pending → claimed (agent assigned) → in_progress → completed
                                   → blocked (dependency not met)

Claiming Protocol

  1. Agent requests next available task
  2. Queue returns lowest-ID task where: status=pending AND blocked_by all completed
  3. Agent declares ownership globs
  4. Queue checks for overlap with other in_progress tasks
  5. If overlap: REJECT claim, report conflict to orchestrator
  6. If no overlap: ASSIGN task, set status=in_progress, record owner

Ownership Enforcement

Each task declares file ownership via glob patterns. Before any file write, check if the file matches the agent's declared ownership.

Action Owned File? Result
Read Any Always allowed
Write/Edit Owned Allowed
Write/Edit Not owned STOP — report ownership violation
Write/Edit Overlapping STOP — report conflict to orchestrator

Integration

  • Orchestrator creates the task queue when decomposing parallel work
  • Parallel agents claim and complete tasks
  • Orchestrator monitors queue for completion and triggers integration test
  • Queue is ephemeral (session-state/) — recreated per parallel execution

Team Coordination

Team-mode coordination rules (file ownership, commit discipline, completion messages) live in .claude/skills/team-config/references/team-coordination.md, loaded by mk:team-config on team activation.

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.
