Create a new task file interactively via code agent prompts

Create a new task file with automatic numbering and proper metadata via interactive code agent prompts.

Usage:

/aitask-create

Note: Must be run from the project root directory. See Skills overview for details.

Step-by-Step

The skill guides you through task creation using interactive prompts:

  1. Parent selection — Choose standalone or child of existing task
  2. Task number — Auto-determined from active, archived, and compressed tasks
  3. Metadata — Priority, effort, dependencies (with sibling dependency prompt for child tasks)
  4. Task name — Free text with auto-sanitization
  5. Definition — Iterative content collection with file reference insertion via Glob search
  6. Create & commit — Writes task file with YAML frontmatter and commits to git

This is the code agent-native alternative — metadata collection happens through the agent UI rather than terminal fzf.
