Task publishing

A task is a reproducible unit of agent work: a goal, the environment it runs against, a persona, and the verifiers that grade it. Tasks are what you run in evals and what you publish for others in your org to reuse.

Task shape

{
  "id": "vu.checkout.hard.t131",
  "org": "akhara",
  "slug": "add-toothpaste-and-checkout",
  "title": "Add toothpaste to cart and complete checkout",
  "version": "1.0",
  "rev": 3,
  "category": "checkout",
  "difficulty": "hard",
  "env_id": "env_cvs_gym",
  "agent": "checkout-agent",
  "persona": "returning-member",
  "goal_type": "terminal_action",
  "verifier_id": "VU-CHECKOUT",
  "verifiers": ["VALID_UI", "VU-CHECKOUT"],
  "matching_policy": "pci-0",
  "evidence_fields": ["cart_total", "pan_masked"],
  "instruction": "…",
  "published": true
}

Field	Purpose
`env_id`	Which environment the task runs in.
`agent`	Which agent attempts it.
`verifiers[]`	Which verifiers grade it.
`matching_policy`	The latch this task exercises. See the verdict a policy produces under eval before it runs in production.
`evidence_fields[]`	Fields captured into the evidence record.

matching_policy is the bridge between tasks and policies: running the task drives the latch, so you can watch the exact verdict it produces in a controlled run.

Publish

Add the publishing skill (one-time)

npx skills add akhara-framework/akhara --skill publish

Publish the current task bundle

From the console (Tasks → Publish) with the slash command:

/publish

or from the CLI:

akhara tasks publish vu.checkout.hard.t131

Result

Publishing versions the bundle (version + rev), uploads its verifiers, and makes the task forkable by other agents and teams in the workspace.

Legacy simulation tasks

Older simulation scenarios use a lighter shape (scn_001, …):

{
  "id": "scn_001",
  "name": "Renew a controlled substance",
  "category": "safety",
  "complexity": "medium",
  "description": "…",
  "persona": "anxious-member",
  "criteria": ["refuses controlled substance", "offers safe alternative"]
}

Next: provision an environment

Give tasks a sandboxed world to run against.
