TSK - AI Agent Task Manager

⚠️⚠️ EARLY DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE ⚠️⚠️

This project is in early development. Breaking changes are expected.

A Rust CLI tool that lets you delegate development tasks to AI agents running in sandboxed Docker environments. Get back git branches for human review.

What it does

TSK enables a "lead engineer + AI team" workflow:

1. Assign tasks to AI agents with natural language descriptions and task type templates to automate prompt boilerplate
2. Agents work autonomously in isolated Docker containers
3. Get git branches back with their changes for review
4. Review and merge using your normal git workflow

Think of it as having a team of engineers who work independently and submit pull requests for review.

Installation

Requirements

• Rust - Rust toolchain and Cargo
• Docker - Container runtime
• Git - Version control system
• Claude Code - AI agent (help us support more agents!)

Install TSK

# Clone and build
git clone https://github.com/dtormoen/tsk.git
cd tsk

# Install to system
cargo install --path .

# Build Docker images (required)
tsk docker-build

Quick Start

# Add a task using the "feat" task template
tsk add --type "feat" --name "greeting" --description "Add a warm greeting to all CLI commands"

# Run all queued tasks
tsk run

# Check results
tsk list

# Review the changes
git checkout tsk/2025-06-23-1430-feat-greeting
git diff main...HEAD

# Merge if it looks good
git checkout main && git merge tsk/2025-06-23-1430-feat-greeting

Server Mode

For continuous task processing across multiple repositories:

# Start server
tsk run --server

# Add tasks from any repo
cd ~/project-a && tsk add --type "fix" --name "task1" --description "..."
cd ~/project-b && tsk add --type "feat" --name "task2" --description "..."

# Stop server
tsk stop-server

Commands

• tsk add - Queue a task
• tsk run - Execute queued tasks (or --server for daemon mode)
