Automated summary
Creates new aitask files by running an interactive bash script with fzf for fast selection of task properties.
Strengths
- Fast interactive selection using fzf
- Supports child task creation and batching
- Automatic dependency handling for child tasks
- Integrates with git for version control
Limitations
- Requires fzf to be installed
- Only works within projects that have the .aitask-scripts directory set up
- Batch mode options are limited compared to interactive mode
Use when you need to quickly create a new task or subtask within an aitask-managed project without leaving the terminal.
Avoid when you need to create tasks programmatically or in non-interactive environments lacking fzf.
Security analysis
CautionThe skill runs a bash script via an interactive command. While the script appears to be a task creation helper and is likely benign, the use of a shell script introduces risk if the script is compromised or unintentionally destructive. No additional safeguards (e.g., allowed tools list) are present.
- •Executes a bash script (./.aitask-scripts/aitask_create.sh) without any sandboxing or visible auditing.
- •The script could be modified to perform unintended actions, and there is no integrity verification.
Examples
Create a new task for implementing user loginCreate a child task named 'add validation' under parent task 10 with description 'Add input validation to the login form'Create a child task named 'design landing page' under parent task 5 with no sibling dependencyname: aitask-create2 description: Create a new aitask file interactively using bash/fzf (faster alternative to aitask-create) user-invocable: false
Run the interactive task creation script:
./.aitask-scripts/aitask_create.sh
The script handles all prompts interactively in the terminal using fzf:
- Parent task selection - Choose to create a standalone task or a child of an existing task
- Priority and effort selection via fzf
- Dependencies via fzf multi-select (includes sibling tasks for child creation)
- Sibling dependency prompt - For child tasks, asks whether to depend on previous sibling
- Task name with automatic sanitization
- Iterative description entry with file reference insertion via fzf
- Optional git commit
This is a faster, terminal-native alternative to the /aitask-create skill.
Child Task Creation
To create a child task in batch mode (non-interactive):
./.aitask-scripts/aitask_create.sh --batch --parent <PARENT_NUM> --name "<name>" --desc "<description>"
Options:
--parent, -P NUM- Create as child of specified parent task--no-sibling-dep- Skip default sibling dependency
Example:
# Create first child of task t10
./.aitask-scripts/aitask_create.sh --batch --parent 10 --name "first_subtask" --desc "First subtask"
# Create child without auto sibling dependency
./.aitask-scripts/aitask_create.sh --batch --parent 10 --name "parallel_task" --desc "Parallel work" --no-sibling-dep
Child tasks are stored in aitasks/t<parent>/ subdirectory with naming t<parent>_<N>_<name>.md.
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/interactive-aitask-file-creation-mmio70m2/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/interactive-aitask-file-creation-mmio70m2' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/interactive-aitask-file-creation-mmio70m2/download' --output '.skill-downloads/interactive-aitask-file-creation-mmio70m2/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/interactive-aitask-file-creation-mmio70m2/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/interactive-aitask-file-creation-mmio70m2/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/interactive-aitask-file-creation-mmio70m2/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.

Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
