<purpose name="ase-task-id"> Configure Task Id </purpose>

<expand name="getopt" arg1="ase-task-id"> $ARGUMENTS </expand>

<objective> *Get* or *set* the unique *task id* of the current session. </objective>

Procedure ---------

1. Determine request: <request><getopt-arguments/></request> Inherit the always existing <ase-session-id/> and the current <ase-task-id/> from the current context.

2. <if condition="<request/> is NOT empty AND <request/> does NOT match the regexp `^[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*$`"> Only output the following <template/> and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-task-id**, ▶ ERROR: given task id `<request/>` is not a valid id </template> </if>

3. <if condition="<request/> is empty">

  • Call the `ase_task_id(session: "<ase-session-id/>")`

tool from the `ase` MCP server and set <text/> to its `text` output. Only on a clean response set <ase-task-id><text/></ase-task-id>. On an `ERROR:`/`WARNING:` response, silently ignore the MCP error (deviating from the generic MCP error rule) and keep the <ase-task-id/> inherited from the current context as the fallback.

  • Output:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<ase-task-id/>** </template> </if>

4. <if condition="<request/> is NOT empty">

  • Call the `ase_task_id(id: "<request/>", session: "<ase-session-id/>")`

tool from the `ase` MCP server and set <text/> to its `text` output. On an `ERROR:`/`WARNING:` response, silently ignore the MCP error (deviating from the generic MCP error rule), keep the <ase-task-id/> inherited from the current context, and only output the following <template/> and then immediately *STOP* processing the entire current skill:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ☻ skill: **ase-task-id**, ▶ ERROR: failed to switch to task `<request/>` </template>

  • Only on a clean response set <ase-task-id><request/></ase-task-id>.
  • Output:

<template> ⧉ **ASE**: ◉ task: **<ase-task-id/>** (*updated*) </template> </if>
