Tasks and Delegation - OpenGoat

Task Model

Task records store:

owner (owner)
assignee (assignedTo)
status (todo | doing | pending | blocked | done)
blockers, artifacts, and worklog entries

Permission Rules

OpenGoat enforces organization-aware permissions:

Agents can assign tasks only to themselves or reportees (direct or indirect).
Agents can update tasks they own/are assigned, or tasks owned by reportees.
pending and blocked status updates require --reason.

Task Cron Loop

OpenGoat provides a task dispatch cycle:

opengoat task cron [--once] [--interval-minutes <n>] [--inactive-minutes <n>]

Defaults:

interval: 5 minutes
inactive threshold: 30 minutes

Use --once for single-cycle diagnostics.
