Assign Task

Assign a task to a specific agent via the task management system. The skill forwards the full JSON payload to the POST /api/task-management/assign endpoint, which records the assignment and notifies the target agent.

When to Use

Run this skill when the orchestrator needs to assign a specific task to a known agent session. This is the formal task-tracking approach that goes through the management system's kanban board. For sending free-form work directly to an agent's terminal, use delegate-task instead.

Parameters

The skill passes the full JSON input to the assignment endpoint. Common fields:

Examples

Assign a task to a specific agent

bash config/skills/orchestrator/assign-task/execute.sh '{"taskId":"task-123","assignee":"agent-joe"}'

Assign with a reason for the assignment

bash config/skills/orchestrator/assign-task/execute.sh '{"taskId":"task-456","assignee":"agent-sam","reason":"owns the auth module"}'

Output

JSON confirmation of the task assignment from the backend, including the updated task status and assignee details.
