What This Skill Does
A process kit for organizing AI agent teams with defined roles and a self-managing work queue. Agents discover, triage, and execute tasks through a 5-phase loop without requiring constant human direction. A heartbeat mechanism triggers periodic checks to keep work flowing when no human is present.
Removes the human bottleneck from task assignment by giving agents a shared, self-updating queue with unambiguous role ownership at each phase.
When to use it
- Running a multi-agent content pipeline without manual task assignment
- Automatically triaging a backlog of discovered opportunities
- Keeping a work queue populated via scheduled heartbeat checks
- Delegating specialized tasks to sub-agents based on role definitions
- Tracking active agent work status across a distributed team
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Set up an agent team to manage content discovery and publishing
- 1Copy process template files to workspace root (INTAKE.md, ROLES.md, OPPORTUNITIES.md, BACKLOG.md, STATUS.md)
- 2Append heartbeat config to HEARTBEAT.md
- 3Customize ROLES.md with domain-specific role names and missions
- 4Scout agent discovers opportunities and logs them to OPPORTUNITIES.md
- 5Rhythm agent triages logged items and moves ready ones into BACKLOG.md
Agents pick up tasks from the ready queue autonomously, with hourly heartbeat checks maintaining loop momentum and surfacing stale or blocked work
