Task Agent 🤖
A prioritized, file-based task queue for autonomous agentic workers. This system uses a "Mission Control" approach to manage multiple agents working on git-tracked improvements across various branches and worktrees.
📂 System Architecture
The project follows a specific folder structure to manage the lifecycle of an improvement:
docs/issues/: The core queue.mission.usv: A prioritized list of issues using Unit Separator Value (\x1f) format. This serves as the source of truth for task priority.datapackage.json: Frictionless Data metadata for themission.usvschema.pending/: New issues awaiting triage or assignment.draft/: Issues currently being refined or planned.active/: Issues actively being worked on by an agent.completed/{year}/: Successfully implemented and verified improvements.
.gwt/: Git Worktree directory where active branches are checked out for isolated agent execution.
🛠️ Tooling: ta (Task Agent CLI)
The ta tool automates the transition of issues through the queue and manages the underlying git infrastructure.
Commands
| Command | Action |
|---|---|
ta next |
Displays the top prioritized issue from mission.usv. |
ta new |
Creates a new issue file and adds it to the queue. |
ta done |
Moves issue to completed/, removes it from the queue, and auto-commits the result. |
ta start <slug> |
Moves issue to active/, creates a git branch, and sets up a .gwt/ worktree. |
ta run <slug> |
Invokes the sidecar worker defined at .ta/worker to process an active issue. |
🚀 Workflow
- Prioritize: Use
ta new -t "Title"to add a task. - Review: Run
ta nextto see what is currently at the top of the queue. - Dispatch: (Planned) Run
ta start <slug>to prepare the workspace. - Execute: (Planned) The agent (Gemini CLI) processes the task in its isolated worktree via
ta run <slug>. - Finalize: Once verified,
ta donemoves the task to the finished state.
🤖 Multi-Agent CLI Portfolio (multi-agent-registry)
task-agent integrates with multi-agent-registry (multi_agent_registry) to automatically detect, configure, and inspect AI agent CLIs across your developer workstation:
- Supported Agent CLIs: Claude Code (
claude), Antigravity CLI (agy), OpenCode (opencode), Grok Build (grok), GitHub Copilot CLI (copilot), Cursor (cursor), Windsurf (windsurf), Aider (aider), Continue (continue), Cline (cline), Roo Code (roo). - Features: Automatic CLI detection, MCP configuration generation (
ta init-mcp), session discovery, recent agent activity tracking (ta agent recent), and plugin management.
💬 Matrix Messaging Integration & Sidecar Daemon
task-agent includes a zero-dependency Matrix sidecar bridge daemon (sidecars/matrix-bridge/) for real-time remote notification and task chat bridging:
- Global Space & Store Binding:
# Configure machine-wide Matrix Space link ta store matrix space set 'https://matrix.to/#/!space_id:matrix.org' # Configure secret token reference (1Password op://, Linux keyring secret-tool://, or pass://) ta store matrix token set 'op://Private/6pcab3dt5sml3sslfh6xffqit4/Saved on account.matrix.org/access-token'
- Automated Space & Child Room Provisioning:
When launched, the sidecar daemon (
python3 sidecars/matrix-bridge/matrix_bridge.py) auto-discovers or provisions unencrypted child rooms inside your Space for each repository store and delivers real-time inbox comments.
