Pitfalls, examples, and edge cases for workers executing a Surogates subagent task. Loaded automatically when the dispatcher spawns a session bound to a Task (Session.task_id is set).
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
# Subagent Task Worker — Pitfalls and Examples > You're seeing this skill because the dispatcher spawned you for a subagent task — your `Session.task_id` is set and the harness has exposed the `worker_complete`, `worker_block`, and `worker_context` self-tools to you. This skill is the deeper detail beyond the system-prompt basics: good handoff shapes, retry diagnostics, edge cases, and what NOT to do. See [Tasks (Subagent Task Layer)](../../../docs/tasks/index.md) for the conceptual chapter and [Tools](../../../docs/tools/index.md) for the parameter tables. ## What you have access to You're running for a Task. Three self-tools are available only to you, gated by `Session.task_id`: | Tool | Use it when | |---|---| | `worker_context` | At the start of your run, *especially* on retry. Returns goal, accumulated context (from prior unblocks), parent task results, and prior attempt summaries. | | `worker_complete` | When you've actually finished. Writes the explicit summary + structured metadata to the task row; the parent agent sees this in its `worker.complete` event. | …

How to install
mdr add invergent-ai/surogates/subagent-task-worker@sha256:f9856daddd81038bThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
