ab-start-task

SkillProductivity

ab-start-task runs an existing task all the way to completion without you supervising each step. Your AI works through the remaining missions, keeps the tracker up to date, and makes a commit after every passing mission. You hand off a well-defined task and review the commits instead of the missions.

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

Give your AI a well-defined task and ask it to run it to completion. Then review the commits it makes as the work progresses.

Then ask your AI: use the ab-start-task skill

What your AI can do with it

  • Run an existing task autonomously to completion
  • Complete each remaining mission in a separate subagent
  • Build every mission with test-driven development
  • Update the tracker after each mission
  • Commit after every green mission

What this skill tells your AI

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

This skill runs the AB Method start-task workflow.

Follow the workflow defined in .ab-method/core/start-task.md exactly — it contains the full process, output format, and rules.

Before doing anything, check .ab-method/structure/index.yaml. It defines where this workflow reads from and writes to. Paths are user-configurable; never hardcode them.
