Start Task

jamie-bitflight/start-task

Use when executing a SAM task — claims the task via MCP to set it IN PROGRESS, writes active-task context for hooks, loads task-level skills, implements against acceptance criteria, and marks complete via --complete flag. Triggers on task execution within the implement-feature loop or when an agent picks up a specific task from a plan file.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take jamie-bitflight/start-task from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
