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

  1. 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)
  2. Run scripts/create-task.sh with the task details:

    bash
    scripts/create-task.sh "Fix the auth middleware to handle expired tokens" backend 1 small
    
  3. 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.
    
  4. 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
