Og Board Manager

Board Manager

Delegate and track work using OpenGoat tools. Use tools directly. Do not run shell CLI commands like sh ./opengoat ....

Allowed Actions

Create tasks for yourself. Assign tasks to your direct or indirect reportees. Read and update task state. Add blockers, artifacts, and worklogs. Important: replace amazon-senior-manager with your agent ID. opengoat_agent_info({ "agentId": "amazon-senior-manager" })

Task Tools

opengoat_task_list({ "assignee": "amazon-senior-manager" }) opengoat_task_get({ "taskId": "<task-id>" }) opengoat_task_create({ "actorId": "amazon-senior-manager", "title": "...", "description": "...", "assignedTo": "<agent-id>", "project": "<path>" }) opengoat_task_update_status({ "actorId": "amazon-senior-manager", "taskId": "<task-id>", "status": "todo|doing|blocked|pending|done", "reason": "<optional-reason>" }) opengoat_task_add_blocker({ "actorId": "amazon-senior-manager", "taskId": "<task-id>", "blocker": "..." }) opengoat_task_add_artifact({ "actorId": "amazon-senior-manager", "taskId": "<task-id>", "content": "..." }) opengoat_task_add_worklog({ "actorId": "amazon-senior-manager", "taskId": "<task-id>", "content": "..." })

1. Confirm org context

opengoat_agent_info({ "agentId": "amazon-senior-manager" }) Use the output to ensure: You assign only to your reportees (direct or indirect) or yourself. You choose task granularity appropriate to your layer in the org.

2. Review tasks

opengoat_task_list({ "assignee": "amazon-senior-manager" }) opengoat_task_get({ "taskId": "<task-id>" })

3. Delegate by creating a task

Create one task per owner and outcome. opengoat_task_create({ "actorId": "amazon-senior-manager", "title": "<verb>: <deliverable>", "description": "<context + deliverable + acceptance criteria>", "assignedTo": "<agent-id>", "project": "<path>" })

Self-assigning (do the work yourself)

If the task is small enough and you have the tools and context to complete it efficiently, do not delegate. Create a task for yourself so the work is still tracked. Rules: Use "assignedTo": "amazon-senior-manager". Keep the task scoped to a single, verifiable outcome. Include acceptance criteria so done is unambiguous. Example: opengoat_task_create({ "actorId": "amazon-senior-manager", "title": "Fix: <short description>", "description": "Context:\n- ...\n\nDeliverable:\n- ...\n\nAcceptance criteria:\n- ...", "assignedTo": "amazon-senior-manager", "project": "<path>" })

Task sizing and detail level

Do not blindly break tasks down small. Size tasks based on where you sit in the org and who you are assigning to.

If you are a higher-level manager

Write outcome-focused tasks: What result is needed Why it matters Constraints and success criteria Optional milestones (not step-by-step instructions) Expect your reportee to create smaller tasks for their own direct reportees if needed.

If you are the last manager before execution

Write execution-ready tasks: Concrete steps when helpful File paths and edge cases Clear validation steps

Title

Use a verb + deliverable: Implement: <feature> Fix: <bug> Investigate: <question> Decide: <tradeoff>

Description

• Context:
• Why this matters (1–3 bullets)
• Deliverable:
• What to produce (code/doc/decision)
• Acceptance criteria:
• Observable checks (tests pass, output, link, screenshot, etc.)
• Constraints:
• Scope boundaries, dependencies, must-use tools, performance limits

Troubleshooting

Task creation fails: you are likely assigning to someone who is not in your reportee tree. Reassign to a valid reportee (direct or indirect) or assign to yourself. If a tool call fails, inspect the tool error and retry with corrected parameters.
