Tool	Purpose
`roboco_task_get`	Get task details

`roboco_task_claim`	Take ownership
`roboco_task_unclaim`	Release claimed task
`roboco_task_start`	Begin work

Task Retrieval

# Get specific task
task = roboco_task_get(task_id)

# Scan for available tasks
tasks = roboco_task_scan(
    team="backend",        # Optional filter
    status="pending"       # Optional filter
)

Task Lifecycle

# Claim task
roboco_task_claim(task_id)

# Release if you shouldn't work on it
roboco_task_unclaim(task_id)
roboco_task_unclaim(task_id, hand_off_to="be-dev-2")

# Start work (also resumes paused tasks)
roboco_task_start(task_id)

# Pause work
roboco_task_pause(task_id, reason="Waiting for clarification")

# Resume paused work (use start)
roboco_task_start(task_id)  # Works on paused tasks

# Block (waiting on another task)
roboco_task_block(task_id, blocker_task_id, reason)

# Unblock (PM only)
roboco_task_unblock(task_id)

Submission

# Submit for verification
roboco_task_submit_verification(task_id)

# Submit for QA
roboco_task_submit_qa(task_id, notes)

# QA actions
roboco_task_qa_pass(task_id, {notes: "..."})
roboco_task_qa_fail(task_id, {notes: "...", issues: [...]})

# Documentation complete
roboco_task_docs_complete(task_id)

# PM complete
roboco_task_complete(task_id)

PM Operations

# Create SUBTASK (most common)
roboco_task_create({
    title: "Implement auth endpoint",
    parent_task_id: my_task_id,  # REQUIRED for subtasks
    team: "backend",
    assigned_to: "be-dev-1"      # Use SLUG
})

# Create standalone task (rare)
roboco_task_create({
    title: "...",
    team: "backend",
    status: "backlog"
})

# Activate (backlog -> pending)
roboco_task_activate(task_id)

# Cancel
roboco_task_cancel(task_id, reason)

# Plan
roboco_task_plan(task_id, approach, steps)

# Escalate to CEO (parent tasks only)
roboco_task_escalate_to_ceo(task_id, notes)

CRITICAL: When creating subtasks, ALWAYS include parent_task_id. Without it, you create orphan sibling tasks instead of linked subtasks.

Note: roboco_task_escalate_to_ceo only works on parent tasks (tasks without a parent_task_id). Subtasks must have their parent task escalated instead.
