taskfile-skills

Claude Code skills for working with Task (go-task).

Skills

taskfile

Discovery, inspection, and execution. Applies at the start of any action that runs a project command: build, test, run, lint, fmt, clean, migrate, etc.

Ensures the agent reads the Taskfile first instead of guessing ecosystem defaults (e.g. using npm when the project uses yarn, or running bare cargo test when the project wraps nextest with special handling for doctests and harness-false test binaries).

taskfile-authoring

Creating and updating Taskfiles. Covers:

• File naming preference (Taskfile.dist.yaml > Taskfile.dist.yml > Taskfile.yaml > Taskfile.yml)
• gitignore-aware file selection (no new files when an existing one can be updated)
• Precondition patterns for missing tools and env vars
• Variable patterns (profiles, package manager detection, CLI args passthrough)
• Nested Taskfiles via includes
• Converting from Makefile / Justfile
