Use the agentproto shared task board — task_create, task_claim (CAS with rev), task_list, and task_update to coordinate parallel agents on one board, gate done with verify commands, and hand off work claimably. Trigger when coordinating parallel agents, splitting work across sessions, handing off tasks, or needing verifiable completion.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# ap-tasks
## When to use
- Several agents (or you + an agent) must share a list of work units without stepping on each other.
- You want "done" to be provable, not self-reported.
- You are handing a task to an unclaimed queue that any session on the board can pick up.
## Create tasks
```json
task_create({
"title": "Migrate auth module to new API",
"description": "Files under src/auth/. Keep test coverage. See plan.md section 3.",
"owner": "self",
"verify": { "command": "pnpm", "args": ["test", "auth"], "cwd": "/repo" }
})
```
`title` is required; `description` is for whoever claims it. Leave `owner` absent to make the task **claimable** — anyone on the board can pick it up. `boardId` defaults to your session's lineage board (`tree:<root>`) or the workspace board (`ws:<slug>`). The optional `verify` gate (a shell command, exit 0 = pass) makes `done` gated.
## The claim cycle: read → claim → work → update
Every task carries a `rev` (revision number). `task_claim` is compare-and-swap: it succeeds only if the task is `pending`, has **no owner**, and the `rev` you pass matches what you last read.
```json
// 1. List open tasks
task_list({ "boardId": "ws:studio" })

How to install
mdr add agentproto/ts/ap-tasks@sha256:7eaba0187e46484eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.0259d5f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
