Create Bernstein Task
Create a new task in the Bernstein orchestrator and have it picked up by an agent.
When to Use
- User says "create a task for..." or "add this to bernstein"
- User wants to delegate a coding task to an agent
- User describes a bug fix, feature, or refactor that should be orchestrated
- User says "have an agent do this" or "queue this up"
Instructions
-
Ask the user (if not already clear) for:
- Title: short description of the task
- Role: one of
backend, frontend, qa, security, devops, docs (default: backend)
- Priority: 0 (urgent) to 3 (low) (default: 1)
- Scope:
tiny, small, medium, large (default: small)
-
Run scripts/create-task.sh with the task details:
scripts/create-task.sh "Fix the auth middleware to handle expired tokens" backend 1 small
-
Show the created task ID and confirm it's queued:
Task TASK-042 created (role=backend, priority=1)
An agent will pick it up shortly.
-
If the user wants to track it, suggest using /bernstein-status.
Tips
- For complex tasks, suggest breaking them into smaller subtasks
- For risky changes, add
--require-review flag
- High-priority (0) tasks get picked up immediately
