ab-create-task-from-handoff

SkillProductivity

This skill picks up a side topic you set aside mid-discussion and turns it into a test-driven task. Those deferred topics are saved as handoffs under docs/handoffs/, and once this is added your AI can resume one and keep working on it until it becomes an actionable task.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add the skill, then ask your AI to pick up a handoff from docs/handoffs/ that you want to continue. It will resume the topic and shape it into a test-driven task.

Then ask your AI: use the ab-create-task-from-handoff skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Resume a deferred side topic saved under docs/handoffs/
  • Continue the deep-dive discussion on that topic where it left off
  • Turn the resumed topic into a test-driven task
  • Keep side topics from getting lost once they are spun off

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by ayoubben18/ab-method in .agents/skills/ab-create-task-from-handoff/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

This skill runs the AB Method create-task-from-handoff workflow.

Follow the workflow defined in .ab-method/core/create-task-from-handoff.md exactly — it loads the handoff, continues the grill where it left off, then hands off to the standard create-task flow (project analysis → missions → TDD).

Before doing anything, check .ab-method/structure/index.yaml. It defines where handoffs are read from (docs/handoffs/) and where task documents are written. Paths are user-configurable; never hardcode them.
