Task Frontmatter Reader | Agent Skills Atlas

About this skill

Use when a framework command needs to read the hierarchy metadata of a task — parses the YAML frontmatter block at the top of task.md and returns structured data (id, kind, parent, children, blocks, blockedby, externalids, derived status) plus any warnings. Defensive: never blocks on malformed input; absent frontmatter yields kind=flat. Delegates to scripts/fm-read.sh.
