Authoritative protocol for signaling blocked or input-required task states. Mandates targeted A2A pings using the Task.state envelope rather than global capacity broadcasts. Triggers: Use this skill whenever your execution becomes blocked, requires explicit operator input, or encounters a failure that halts progress.
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
# Blocked Task-State Coordination If you are an agent and your task transitions into a blocked, input-required, or failed state, you MUST NOT broadcast a global idle signal. You MUST immediately use the `view_file` tool to read and strictly adhere to `.agents/skills/blocked-task-state/references/blocked-task-state-workflow.md` before sending any A2A messages.

How to install
mdr add neomjs/neo-agent-skills/blocked-task-state@sha256:0c355927bb7a5a73The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.243157f, 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.
