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.shwith the task details:bashscripts/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-reviewflag - High-priority (0) tasks get picked up immediately
