Included Skills17

add-ideaskills/add-idea/SKILL.md

Log a lightweight idea into .taskmaster/ideas/. Triggers: '/add-idea', 'save this as an idea', 'remember this idea', 'log this idea', or something worth keeping, not yet a task. Only way - not backlog_idea_create directly.

bugskills/bug/SKILL.md

Log/update/close project bugs in .taskmaster/bugs/. Triggers: 'log a bug', 'this is a bug', 'track this defect', 'I found a bug', 'shelve this for later', 'list open bugs', 'promote B-XX', 'close B-XX'. Also for ambiguous 'issue' phrasing lacking recurring/systemic/outstanding evidence - falls back here. Only correct way to transition a project Bug.

check-todosskills/check-todos/SKILL.md

Scan the codebase for TODO/FIXME/HACK/XXX and cross-reference the backlog. Triggers: 'check todos', 'are my todos tracked', 'scan for todos', 'todo audit', 'what's untracked'.

decisionskills/decision/SKILL.md

Write/resolve/drop project decisions in .taskmaster/decisions/. Invoke when about to write an inline option menu - route here, not Options: in chat. Also 'choose between', 'pick an option', 'decide on', 'open question', 'resolve DEC-X', 'drop DEC-X'. Only correct way - do not call backlog_decision_create directly.

end-sessionskills/end-session/SKILL.md

Close out a work session. Triggers: 'end session', 'I'm done for today', 'let's wrap up', 'mark this task done', 'save progress'. ONLY correct way to mark tasks done/in-review with a session record.

handoverskills/handover/SKILL.md

Write a session handover into .taskmaster/handovers/. Triggers: 'write a handover', 'wrap up', 'for tomorrow', 'before compaction', 'context handoff', 'continue where we left off'. Only way - not backlog_handover_create directly.

init-taskmasterskills/init-taskmaster/SKILL.md

Set up Taskmaster in the current project. Triggers: 'set up taskmaster', 'initialize backlog', 'I want to track my work here', or backlog.yaml missing. Offers clean init or project analysis.

issueskills/issue/SKILL.md

Log/update/close project issues in .taskmaster/issues/ - elevated tier for recurring, systemic, or P0/P1 outstanding defects. Triggers: 'log an issue', 'this is an issue', 'file an issue', 'promote to issue', 'is this an issue', 'list open issues', 'triage issues', 'mark issue fixed', 'close ISS-XX'. NOT for one-off bugs, route to taskmaster:bug. Colloquial 'issue' lacking that evidence routes to taskmaster:bug. Only correct way to transition a project Issue.

linearskills/linear/SKILL.md

Manage Taskmaster's Linear sync. Triggers: 'set up linear sync', 'connect to linear', 'link/unlink task to linear', 'show linear status', 'retry linear pushes', 'list linear trackers'. Only way to drive backlog_linear - direct calls skip bootstrap.

migrate-lessonsskills/migrate-lessons/SKILL.md

Migrate legacy .taskmaster/lessons/ into assistant memory and repo instruction files after a taskmaster 4.x upgrade. Triggers: 'migrate lessons', 'convert lessons to memory', 'what happened to lessons', or start-session finding L-*.md files.

migrate-v3skills/migrate-v3/SKILL.md

Guided v2 to v3 backlog migration. Triggers: 'upgrade to v3', 'migrate to v3', 'switch to v3', 'enable handovers', 'enable narrative continuity'. Only correct way - do not call backlog_migrate_v3 directly without the pre-flight gate.

pick-taskskills/pick-task/SKILL.md

Select a task to work on. Triggers: 'pick a task', 'let's work on X', 'start task auth-003', 'what should I tackle next', 'continue this task', 'continue where we left off', a task ID, 'pick this bundle', 'cluster these tasks'. Sets status in-progress, checks deps, creates worktree.

plan-reviewskills/plan-review/SKILL.md

Review a task's implementation plan before writing tests. Triggers: 'review this plan', 'plan review', 'challenge my plan', 'is this plan solid'. Full-lane gate between PLAN and WRITE_TESTS; post-implementation review is taskmaster:review-gate.

review-gateskills/review-gate/SKILL.md

Run quality checks on a task's implementation before it closes to done. Triggers: 'is this ready?', 'run the review gate', 'check my work', 'I think this is done'. Reviews code + spec adherence, runs tests/build. Design review uses taskmaster:spec-review.

spec-reviewskills/spec-review/SKILL.md

Pre-implementation design review of a task's spec. Triggers: 'review this spec', 'challenge this design', 'is this the right approach?', 'spec review', 'design review'. Records the spec-review (full) or design-review (standard) gate. Code review uses taskmaster:review-gate.

start-sessionskills/start-session/SKILL.md

Start a work session, orient a new conversation. Triggers: 'let's get started', 'what should I work on', 'show me the backlog', 'orient me', or a new conversation where backlog.yaml exists. Shows dashboard, last session, next tasks.

taskmasterskills/taskmaster/SKILL.md

Universal taskmaster work router for projects with backlog.yaml. Invoke for features, bug fixes, tests, refactors, epic planning, or narrative-continuity work (handovers, issues). Skip only for: pure git commits, dedicated PR security reviews, and small direct changes asked for outright (one sitting, no open design decisions, ~<=3 files).
