/skill:jat-complete - Finish Task Properly

Complete current task with full verification protocol. Session ends after completion.

Usage

/skill:jat-complete         # Complete task, show completion block
/skill:jat-complete --kill  # Complete and auto-kill session

What This Does

  1. Read & Respond to Agent Mail (always, before completing)
  2. Verify task (tests, lint, security)
  3. Commit changes with proper message
  4. Mark task complete in Beads (bd close)
  5. Release file reservations
  6. Announce completion via Agent Mail
  7. Emit completion signal to IDE

Prerequisites

You MUST have emitted a review signal before running this:

bash
jat-signal review '{
  "taskId": "TASK_ID",
  "taskTitle": "TASK_TITLE",
  "summary": ["What you accomplished"],
  "filesModified": [
    {"path": "src/file.ts", "changeType": "modified", "linesAdded": 50, "linesRemoved": 10}
  ]
}'

Step-by-Step Instructions

STEP 1: Get Current Task and Agent Identity

1A: Get Agent Name

Check the tmux session name or identity file:

bash
TMUX_SESSION=$(tmux display-message -p '#S' 2>/dev/null)
# Agent name is the tmux session without "jat-" prefix
AGENT_NAME="${TMUX_SESSION#jat-}"

1B: Get Current Task

Find your in-progress task:

bash
bd list --json | jq -r '.[] | select(.assignee == "AGENT_NAME" and .status == "in_progress") | .id'

If no task found, check for spontaneous work (uncommitted changes without a formal task).

STEP 1D: Spontaneous Work Detection

Only if no in_progress task was found.

Check git status and conversation context for work that was done without a formal task:

bash
git status --porcelain
git diff --stat
git log --oneline -5

If work is detected, propose creating a backfill task record:

bash
bd create "INFERRED_TITLE" \
  --type INFERRED_TYPE \
  --description "INFERRED_DESCRIPTION" \
  --assignee "$AGENT_NAME" \
  --status in_progress

If no work detected, exit the completion flow.

STEP 2: Read & Respond to Agent Mail

Mandatory. Do NOT skip.

bash
am-inbox "$AGENT_NAME" --unread
  • Read each message
  • Reply if needed: am-reply MSG_ID "response" --agent "$AGENT_NAME"
  • Acknowledge: am-ack MSG_ID --agent "$AGENT_NAME"

Messages might say "don't complete yet" or "requirements changed" - check before proceeding.

STEP 3: Verify Task

Run verification checks appropriate to the project:

bash
# Emit verifying signal
jat-step verifying --task "$TASK_ID" --title "$TASK_TITLE" --agent "$AGENT_NAME"

# Then run checks:
# - Tests (npm test, pytest, etc.)
# - Lint (eslint, ruff, etc.)
# - Type check (tsc --noEmit, etc.)
# - Build (npm run build, etc.)

If verification fails, stop and fix issues before continuing.

STEP 3.5: Update Documentation (If Appropriate)

Only update docs when changes affect how others use the codebase:

  • New tool/command added
  • New API endpoint
  • Breaking change
  • New configuration option

Most tasks do NOT need doc updates.

STEP 4: Commit Changes

bash
# Get task type for commit prefix
TASK_TYPE=$(bd show "$TASK_ID" --json | jq -r '.[0].issue_type // "task"')

# Commit with proper message format
jat-step committing --task "$TASK_ID" --title "$TASK_TITLE" --agent "$AGENT_NAME" --type "$TASK_TYPE"

If jat-step is not available, commit manually:

bash
git add -A
git commit -m "TASK_TYPE($TASK_ID): TASK_TITLE

Co-Authored-By: Pi Agent <[email protected]>"

STEP 5: Mark Task Complete in Beads

bash
jat-step closing --task "$TASK_ID" --title "$TASK_TITLE" --agent "$AGENT_NAME"

Or manually:

bash
bd close "$TASK_ID" --reason "Completed by $AGENT_NAME"

STEP 5.5: Auto-Close Eligible Epics

bash
bd epic close-eligible

STEP 6: Release File Reservations

bash
jat-step releasing --task "$TASK_ID" --title "$TASK_TITLE" --agent "$AGENT_NAME"

Or manually:

bash
am-reservations --agent "$AGENT_NAME" --json | jq -r '.[].pattern' | while read pattern; do
  am-release "$pattern" --agent "$AGENT_NAME"
done

STEP 7: Announce Completion

bash
jat-step announcing --task "$TASK_ID" --title "$TASK_TITLE" --agent "$AGENT_NAME" --type "$TASK_TYPE"

Or manually:

bash
am-send "[$TASK_ID] Completed: $TASK_TITLE" "Task completed successfully." \
  --from "$AGENT_NAME" --to @active --thread "$TASK_ID"

STEP 8: Emit Completion Signal

bash
jat-step complete --task "$TASK_ID" --title "$TASK_TITLE" --agent "$AGENT_NAME"

This generates a structured completion bundle and emits the final complete signal.

Then output the completion banner:

TASK COMPLETED: $TASK_ID
Agent: $AGENT_NAME

Summary:
  - [accomplishment 1]
  - [accomplishment 2]

Quality: tests passing, build clean

Session complete. Spawn a new agent for the next task.

"Ready for Review" vs "Complete"

State Meaning Beads Status
Ready for Review Code done, awaiting user decision in_progress
Complete Closed in Beads, reservations released closed

Never say "Task Complete" until bd close has run.

Error Handling

No task in progress:

No task in progress. Run /skill:jat-start to pick a task.

Verification failed:

Verification failed:
  - 2 tests failing
  - 5 lint errors
Fix issues and try again.
