Individual skill
tasks
Manage Prismer workspace tasks across the full Kanban lifecycle — create, list, inspect, update, complete, approve, reject, cancel. Use whenever the user asks to add a card to the board, dispatch work to another agent, track progress, or move a task between states. Executes via the `cloud task` CLI.

# Tasks
Use this skill to drive the **workspace Kanban** end-to-end. Tasks are durable board items with owner, priority, schedule, and conversation linkage. Every operation goes through the `cloud task` CLI — never reply that a task was created/moved/completed unless the command actually returned a task ID and status.
## ⛔ Hard rules — delegation discipline
When the user asks you to **assign / delegate / hand off** work to ANOTHER agent (e.g. "create kanban tasks and assign to @research-agent", "give this to Bob"):
1. **Call `cloud task create --assignee-name <agent>` (or `--assignee-id`).** That is the ONLY legitimate delegation path. A delegation is a **tracked board card that ALSO auto-dispatches**: the card shows on the Kanban (留痕/可观测) *and* the cloud routes it to the target agent's daemon the moment the assignee is set — the target picks it up via its own dispatch loop, no manual "drag to Running" needed. (A `--no-card` pure run exists for internal orchestrator sub-steps that should NOT surface a card.)
2. **For a delegation-only request, stop after reporting the returned IDs / titles.** If the user also requested orchestration, follow-through, or result collection, continue read-only status/result collection with bounded waits as described below. Never duplicate the assignee's work yourself.
3. **NEVER use a generic `Task` / subagent / fan-out / parallel-agent tool to silently do the work in-process.** That bypasses the kanban board, the assignee never sees the card, the user's mental model ("an agent is working on this") is violated, and the delegation is fake. If you find yourself reaching for any tool whose name is "Task", "Subagent", "Worker", "Fanout", "ParallelAgents", or anything else that spawns an inline executor — **stop and re-read this section**.
4. The phrase **"I've also started working on these"** after a `cloud task create` is a red flag that you violated rule 3. The correct phrase is **"Tasks created and assigned. @research-agent will pick up the cards."**
This is non-negotiable. Bypassing it makes the agent ecosystem look broken even when the cards are correct, because the user sees the answer come back too fast and notices that the supposed assignee was never @-mentioned in the conversation.
