strata19.claim

What it does

Claim one work item as the calling agent and get back what it must achieve: its title, acceptance lines, and the files it may change. The claim is advisory and per agent; a second agent claiming the same item is told who holds it. Once claimed, writes outside the item's scope are refused by the host hook.

When to use it

Use when: "take W-12" · "work on this item" · you are one of several agents each given a work item · before editing files for a work item

Also use when: at the start of a subagent whose task names a work item or workKey

When not to use it

you only want to read an item (use strata19.manage_work_item get) · you are done and want a verdict (use strata19.verify_implementation) · the work is not a tracked work item
