Does HZL automatically decide what the agent should do next?

No, HZL tracks the state of work but does not prioritize or orchestrate tasks; those decisions are made by the agent or the underlying orchestration layer.

Is my task data stored locally or in the cloud?

HZL defaults to local storage but supports cloud synchronization via Turso for backup and multi-device access.

How does HZL support multi-agent collaboration?

It uses atomic claiming, event authorship tracking, and leases to ensure that multiple agents can work on the same project without overlapping or duplicating effort.

What is the primary purpose of the HZL skill?

HZL is a lightweight 'dumb ledger' designed for AI agents to track work state, projects, and tasks reliably without needing a complex central orchestrator.

Can I monitor Claude's progress through HZL?

Yes, you can use the 'hzl serve' command to launch a web dashboard or use CLI commands to view task status, checkpoints, and provide steering via comments.

Productivity & Workflow

Tracks and manages complex coding workflows for AI agents using a lightweight, external task ledger system.

HZL provides a specialized framework for AI agents to manage their own workflows through a persistent task ledger. It enables Claude to break down large projects into manageable subtasks, checkpoint progress, and handle multi-agent coordination without a central orchestrator. By maintaining a clear audit trail of claims, dependencies, and completions, HZL ensures that long-running development tasks stay organized and accessible to both agents and human supervisors.
