TSK - AI Agent Task Manager

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

# Install using cargo
cargo install tsk-ai

# 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/a1b2c3d4
git diff main...HEAD

# Merge if it looks good
git checkout main && git merge tsk/a1b2c3d4

Server Mode

For continuous task processing across multiple repositories:

# Start server
tsk server run

# 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 server stop

Parallel Execution

TSK supports parallel task execution for improved throughput:

# Run up to 4 tasks in parallel
tsk run --workers 4

# Server mode also supports parallel execution
tsk server run --workers 4

Each task runs in its own isolated Docker container, so parallel execution is safe and efficient.
