kanban-workflows

kanban-workflows is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SaikaAco/saika-hermes-skills. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,322 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for coordinating development work through a Kanban board, where tasks move through stages such as planned, active, and completed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down multi-step projects, manage tickets, coordinate workers, and document what is needed before work is accepted.
Why use it?
Large efforts can lose track of ownership, dependencies, acceptance criteria, and handoffs. The workflow defines how work is divided, updated, and passed on.

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

kanban-workflows 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 11d 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.

Kanban Workflows

Overview

Use this umbrella for Hermes Kanban work regardless of whether the current agent is acting as the orchestrator or as a worker. The old orchestrator/worker split encoded two roles of the same class-level workflow; keeping them together makes it easier to load the right lifecycle and avoid role confusion.

When to Use

  • The user asks to coordinate a multi-step effort through Kanban.
  • You are operating under a Kanban orchestrator profile.
  • You are a worker assigned a Kanban ticket and need lifecycle/pitfall guidance.
  • Work requires decomposition, ticket updates, acceptance criteria, or handoff notes.

Don't use this for a normal one-agent todo list; use the session todo tool unless a real Kanban board/workflow is in scope.

Route before creating work

Work shape Use
Short deterministic work in the current turn Direct tools or execute_code
Short bounded reasoning that can fork and rejoin the live parent delegate_task
Work that must survive restart, carry dependencies, retry, wait for human review, or run across profiles Kanban

Do not use delegate_task for work whose result must outlive the parent process. Do not use Kanban for a quick lookup or one-agent session todo.

Retry-safe task creation

  • Discover real profile names before assignment; never invent an assignee.
  • Supply a stable idempotency_key for any task creation that may be retried. Reuse the same key after transport uncertainty so the kernel returns the existing non-archived task instead of creating a duplicate.
  • Set max_runtime_seconds for bounded workers.
  • Agent tool-created tasks use configured kanban.failure_limit; operators using the CLI/API may additionally set per-task max_retries. After repeated failure, block for review or reassign; never respawn the same unchanged task indefinitely.
  • Create parent cards first and pass parents=[...] when creating children. Do not create children as ready and link them afterward.

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.
