Task Assign

Task Assignment

Note: Routine assignment is now handled by the lobmob-task-manager cron. This skill is for manual assignment when the cron can't resolve (e.g., ambiguous type matching, model conflicts, or when you need to override the automatic choice).

Choosing a Lobster

Read the task's type field. Only consider lobsters of the matching type. Check lobster types by querying DO tags (lobmob-type-<type>).

Priority order:

1. Active-idle lobster — running, no current task, correct type. Immediate.

   • If multiple are idle, prefer one already configured with the task's model.

2. Active-busy lobster — running, correct type, already on a task. Only if:

   • The lobster's current model matches the new task's model.
   • The lobster's current task has an estimate of 30 min or less.

3. — powered off, correct type. Run (~1-2 min).
