Init Manager Skill

This skill enables AI agents to work with Init Manager as a project management backend — picking up tasks, doing work, and closing them out.

Setup

Your workspace needs these in TOOLS.md or environment:

• - Init Manager URL (e.g. https://manager.init.hr)
• API Key (Bearer token, starts with initm_)
• Your User ID (UUID)

AI Guides (Instruction Hierarchy)

There are three levels of AI instructions. Always follow them. More specific wins on conflict:

1. 1. Global AI Guide — INLINECODE3
2. Per-User AI Guide — GET /api/users/<your-user-id> → aiGuide field
3. Project AI Guide — GET /api/projects/<project-id> → aiGuide field

On first boot and periodically: fetch all three and follow the combined instructions.

Task Workflow

1. 1. Pick up tasks in ready status assigned to you
2. Move to in_progress before starting work
3. Read full description + all comments + project AI guide before writing code
4. If unsure — comment asking for clarification, keep in ready, assign to a human
5. When done — move to done, add comment with commit/PR link + summary
6. If blocked — comment with details, assign to a human

Behavior Notes

• - Assignments auto-complete when task moves to done or INLINECODE28
• Moving task back to ready/backlog clears notification flags and assignment completion
• Comments created via API are flagged INLINECODE31
• Task keys (e.g. IMG-32) are auto-generated from project prefix
