A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

When a tool call fails:
Never silently drop a failed item. If the item is a task in the colony queue, write the failure to the DB instead of an in-memory buffer:
sqlite3 "$DB_PATH" "UPDATE tasks SET status='failed', last_error='<one-sentence reason>', completed_at=datetime('now'), updated_at=datetime('now') WHERE id='<task-id>' AND worker_id='<your-worker-id>';"The tasks.retry_count column and the stale-claim reclaimer handle auto-retry for crashes; your job is the within-run decision tree above. See hive.colony-progress-tracker for the full queue protocol.
