Safely claim a specific or next eligible kotgent task from a free session, detect blocked or concurrent work, and immediately continue through the work-task workflow. Use when the user asks to take, claim, pick up, start, or work the next kotgent task, optionally naming a task ref.
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
# Take Task Claim work only from a free kotgent session. Use the `kotgent` CLI for tracker operations and `git` for repository state. Do not use an MCP server, SDK, direct daemon request, or helper script. ## Resolve the caller identity Use the live kotgent pane as identity by default. Never read `KOTGENT_SESSION_ID` as identity or copy it into `--session`. Outside a kotgent pane, require an exact session ID explicitly supplied by the invocation context or user and append `--session <session-id>` to the session-scoped commands below. Never infer an ID from provider conversation IDs, environment variables, names, cwd, recency, or `kotgent list`. Choose one mode for the whole run. Require `git` and `kotgent` on `PATH` and a Git worktree, but make the pane form the first `kotgent task` command: ```text kotgent task show ``` Use `kotgent task show --session <session-id>` only in explicit outside-pane mode. Interpret it strictly: - Exit `0` means the session already holds a task. Report that task and stop; do not claim or call `next`. - Continue only on exit `1`, empty stdout, no `status` field, and `error` exactly equal to the matching …

How to install
mdr add heapy/kortex/take-task@sha256:bbc78d7aa718680fThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260925.6f9390f, 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.
