Collaboration Helper

Overview

scripts/collaboration_helper.py is a lightweight JSON-backed tracker for community action items:

  • list shows every open or in-progress task with owner, priority, and creation timestamp.
  • add creates a new entry using --owner, --priority, and optional --note fields to capture context.
  • complete marks a task as finished and records who closed it.

The data lives in data/tasks.json, so the collaboration state survives across skill runs and reboots.

CLI usage

  • python3 skills/collaboration-helper/scripts/collaboration_helper.py list prints the current queue grouped by status (open/in progress/done).
  • add "Review policy" --owner legal --priority high --note "Need quotes for Moltbook post" registers a new task with metadata.
  • complete 1 --owner ops marks task id=1 as done and stores the time/owner.
  • --workspace /path/to/workspace lets you point at another repo's data/tasks.json when you want to sync or inspect a partner workspace.

Task data structure

Each entry in skills/collaboration-helper/data/tasks.json looks like:

{
  "id": <number>,
  "title": "Task title",
  "owner": "owner-name",
  "priority": "low|medium|high",
  "status": "open|in-progress|done",
  "created_at": "2026-02-03T12:00:00Z",
  "note": "optional context"
}

The CLI automatically increments id, sets timestamps, and toggles status when you complete an item.

Example workflow

python3 skills/collaboration-helper/scripts/collaboration_helper.py add "Document governance" --owner legal --priority high
python3 skills/collaboration-helper/scripts/collaboration_helper.py list
python3 skills/collaboration-helper/scripts/collaboration_helper.py complete 3 --owner legal

This adds a governance action, lists the queue so the team knows what’s pending, and then closes task 3 once it’s done.
