Public reference for the on-disk .tasks/STATUS.md block format the autonomous
poller parses: header regex, status emoji, and the **Weight:** / **Notify:** /
**Requirements:** fields. Ships with factory where the internal wiki and MCP
source can't reach. Distinct from delegate-task (MCP-tool delegation) and
using-tasks (board mechanics).
Authored via superpowers:writing-skills TDD:
- RED: 3 baseline subagents w/o skill — 2/3 used ###/bullet headers the parser
cannot recognize as a task, 2/3 omitted **Weight:** (invented risk/tier/
claimable-by), 2/3 put notify in prose, 1/3 used 🟢 for a ready task.
- GREEN: 2 fresh subagents w/ skill — both parser-valid, incl. correct
**Weight:** needs-human for the critical-infra scenario.
- REFACTOR: no new format loopholes.
Ground truth verified vs live source (status-md.ts parser, claim.ts gate,
fleet-router.js routing): missing Weight finds no backend tier -> poller parks
to blocked, so Weight is operatively required for pickup.
Closes [create-task-format-for-poller-skill]. Install to ~/.claude/skills +
hermes mapping deferred as follow-up.
