AK Plan

Plan before creating

Read the repository and existing AK resources before decomposition:

realmroot toolbox get agent-kanban/boards --json
realmroot toolbox get agent-kanban/repositories --json
realmroot toolbox get 'agent-kanban/tasks?boardId=<board-id>' --json

Define the architecture direction, shared contracts, ownership boundaries, and dependency graph. Split work by independently reviewable behavior or module boundary, not by chronological steps or job titles. Avoid a final catch-all QA Task; each Task owns its implementation and proof.

Show the user the complete Board/Task preview and get confirmation before any creation. Include every Task's goal, assignee, repository, dependencies, and acceptance checks.

Create resources

Create a Board or Repository only when it does not already exist:

realmroot toolbox post agent-kanban/boards --content-type application/json @board.json --json
realmroot toolbox post agent-kanban/repositories --content-type application/json @repository.json --json

Select an available Agent that reports schedulable: true:

realmroot toolbox get 'agent-kanban/agents?schedulable=true' --json

Use the selected Agent's subject as assignedTo. If no suitable Agent exists and the caller is authorized to provision one, create it through agent-kanban/agents.

For each approved work item, create an unassigned Task, then patch its assignedTo field:

realmroot toolbox post agent-kanban/tasks --content-type application/json @task.json --json
realmroot toolbox patch agent-kanban/tasks/<task-id> \
  --content-type application/merge-patch+json \
  '{"assignedTo":"<realmroot-agent-actor-id>"}' --json

Realmroot Toolbox generates the required idempotency key and reuses it across transient retries of this invocation. Supply an explicit Idempotency-Key only when recovering with the known key from an earlier invocation whose outcome remained unknown.

Encode real prerequisites in dependsOn. Tasks with overlapping files or contracts should be combined or ordered; only independent Tasks should run in parallel.

Execute and review

After creation, continue until every Task is terminal unless the user asks to stop. Use bounded waits with continuation cursors:

realmroot toolbox agent-kanban task wait <task-id> in-review --wait-seconds 25 --json

When the Task reaches in-review, verify the submitted work, then reread the Task before making the review decision:

realmroot toolbox get agent-kanban/tasks/<task-id> --include --json
 
realmroot toolbox patch agent-kanban/tasks/<task-id> \
  --content-type application/merge-patch+json \
  '{"status":"in-progress","statusReason":"Describe the required correction"}' --json
 
realmroot toolbox patch agent-kanban/tasks/<task-id> \
  --content-type application/merge-patch+json \
  '{"status":"done"}' --json

Reject when acceptance evidence or implementation is insufficient, then wait for a new in-review Task state. Complete only after the requested outcome is proven. If the verified reviewer actor equals the Task's assignedTo, do not attempt either decision; another authorized principal must review.

When one prerequisite completes, reassess its dependent Tasks. Report the final Task states, review outcomes, and unresolved external blockers.
