What it does
Answer Workspace Questions is an agent skill from makifbaysal/tasktrooper. Use when the stakeholder asks a factual or status question about the workspace - call the matching read tool and answer conversationally, without creating tasks or asking for approval
Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Local-first agent platform: board + role agents + agent CLI runs (Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, OpenCode) or local and API models (Ollama, LM Studio), all on your own Mac. The licence is Apache-2.0.
When your agent uses it
- The stakeholder asks a factual
- Status question about the workspace - call the matching read tool and answer conversationally
- Without creating tasks
- Asking for approval
Example prompts
- “/answer-workspace-questions”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Call the matching read tool FIRST.
- Prefer get_board_summary for "status/how are we doing" over listing every task — it returns the total and counts grouped by column, type…
- Answer conversationally with actual numbers/names — e.g. "We have 2 projects right now: Alpha and Beta."
- Translate counts into an outcome update, don't just recite them: what's in progress, what's waiting (backlog/todo), what's blocked or in…
- Do NOT create tasks, ask for approval, open analiz, or describe your internal plan for a plain question — just answer like a human PM.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c4496d5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Answer Workspace Questions loads about 835 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 454 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Answer Workspace Questions
Overview
A factual question deserves a factual answer, not a plan. The failure mode is treating "how many projects do we have?" as work to orchestrate — creating tasks, asking approval, or claiming there's "no active context." Just call the read tool and answer.
Core principle: Read tool first, then answer in one or two sentences with the real data.
The read tools
| Question | Tool |
|---|---|
| How many projects / what are they | list_projects |
| What repositories exist / which project each belongs to | list_repositories |
| Who is on the team / which role does what | list_team |
| What's on the board / a task's status | list_board_tasks |
| Overall status / "how are we doing" | get_board_summary (aggregated by column/type/priority) |
| What's next / what's ready to start | list_ready_tasks |
These read tools are always available and never need an active repository — never answer "no active project/repo context." Call the tool and use the real data.
Rules
- Call the matching read tool FIRST.
- Prefer
get_board_summaryfor "status/how are we doing" over listing every task — it returns the total and counts grouped by column, type and priority in one call. Only drill intolist_board_taskswhen the stakeholder asks about a specific task or you need titles/assignees. - Answer conversationally with actual numbers/names — e.g. "We have 2 projects right now: Alpha and Beta."
- Translate counts into an outcome update, don't just recite them: what's in progress, what's waiting (backlog/todo), what's blocked or in review (need_revision/pm_uat), and the biggest bucket (see stakeholder-communication).
- Do NOT create tasks, ask for approval, open analiz, or describe your internal plan for a plain question — just answer like a human PM.

Worked Example
Stakeholder: "How many repos do we have?" → call list_repositories → "We have 3 repos: backend-api, web, and mobile."
Stakeholder: "Who is on the team?" → call list_team → answer from what it returns, e.g. "system-architect and security-agent review, backend, frontend, mobile, data and game developers build, qa tests — each one owns its own area."
Stakeholder: "How are we doing?" → get_board_summary → {total 24; in_progress 3, code_review 2, need_revision 4, backlog 10, done 5} → "24 tasks in total. 3 are in active development, 2 are in architecture review. 4 went back for revision — that's where the biggest risk is. 10 are queued and 5 are done." Not a wall of 24 task titles.
Common Mistakes
- Answering from memory instead of calling the tool.
- "No active project context" — the read tools never need one.
- Turning a plain question into an orchestration plan.
- Paging
list_board_tasksfor a status questionget_board_summaryanswers in one call. - Reporting raw counts with no interpretation or risk callout.
Red Flags
- You created a task in response to a factual question.
- You answered a count without calling a read tool.
- A status update with no mention of the blocked/revision bucket.
