Task Coordination

This skill provides a general coordination mechanism for shared task directories. It prevents conflicts when both Manager and Workers need to access/modify the same task workspace.

Problem

When a Worker delegates work to Manager (e.g., git operations), the Manager modifies the Worker's workspace. During this time, the Worker might also be modifying files, causing potential conflicts.

Solution

Use .processing marker files to signal "work in progress". Any party (Worker or Manager) must check for this marker before modifying a task directory.
