Use when asked to work on or track a task in the Tasks plugin, when the prompt mentions a task key such as ABC-12, or when work needs task comments, attachments, delegation tracking, or status updates.

Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 8 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
We want to attach a local generated report file `./dist/report.md` to task QA-10 using `bb tasks`. What command attaches this file?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Uses `bb tasks attachment add QA-10 --file ./dist/report.md`. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Use the bb tasks CLI to understand the assigned task, keep its record useful,
and report the outcome where the work is tracked.
For task dispatch and execution presets, read references/delegation.md.
Find and read the task before acting:
bb tasks show ABC-12
The detail includes the description, status, priority, labels, subtasks,
comments, attachments, attached worker threads, and the GitHub pull
requests those threads produced (from environment metadata, with state
open/draft/merged/closed). Use
bb tasks show ABC-12 --json when the result will drive commands or code.
For project-wide discovery, bb tasks list returns at most 100 rows by
default. Pass --limit 1-500; in JSON, continue with nextCursor via the
same filters/sort and --cursor <value>. A task-list mutation makes an old
cursor stale, so restart without it.
Fetch every relevant attachment before making assumptions about it:
bb tasks attachment get <attachment-id> --out <path>
Do the work. Post one substantive comment at each meaningful milestone, such as a completed investigation, an implementation ready for validation, or a concrete blocker:
bb tasks comment ABC-12 --body "Implemented the change; focused validation now passes."
