# g-skl-tasks — thinned shim (engine-backed)

> **Handled by the bundled gald3r engine** (`.gald3r_sys/engine`, pure Mode-A, no LLM). Full original
> procedure retained in **`SKILL.full.md`** so an install without the engine still works.

**What it does:** task lifecycle over TASKS.md + tasks/<status>/.

## Preferred — invoke the engine
- **CLI:** `gald3r task …`  (or the installed `gald3r`)
- **MCP tools:** `gald3r_task_*`   ·   facade `Gald3r(...).tasks`

The engine owns ID allocation, file placement, status→folder moves, index regeneration, and
validation. `.gald3r/` markdown stays the data source of truth.

## Active agent run → inbox routing (T585)
During a multi-agent / autopilot run (marker `.gald3r/logs/ggo_run_state.json` `active: true`,
or env `GALD3R_AGENT_RUN=1`), the engine `create()` **auto-routes** a new task to `tasks/inbox/`
as an **id-less draft** (uuid-suffixed filename) instead of assigning an id directly. The
hot-inbox **intake** (run at each iteration boundary) is the *single ID-assigning authority* and
assigns ids atomically — so concurrent agents can never collide on the next id. Idle (no run) →
direct create, unchanged. **Hand-writing agents (manual fallback) MUST drop new-task drafts in
`tasks/inbox/` during a run — never write `tasks/open/` + regenerate the index directly.**

## Manual fallback (engine not provisioned)
Follow **`SKILL.full.md`** (full procedure) + the schema in `.gald3r_sys/schemas/` (`task-file`).
Everything needed ships in the install — nothing external.
