Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Bootstrap a task into a synced feature branch — one shot, zero confirmations. Detects the source from the args: GitHub issue ('#100', 'issue 100', 'gh issue 100', or bare '100'), Jira key ('PROJ-42'), or a local spec file path; ad-hoc conversation otherwise. Fetches the task, derives {type}/{number}/{slug}, syncs the default branch, creates and pushes the branch, and writes specs/context/<id>.md. Use only when the user explicitly asks to start a task or create a work branch — never trigger auto…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'start-task' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'start-task' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named start-task already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/foyzulkarim/skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '3b8ccca7c40f5865512ee1ef0920787e95e48154' -- 'dev-pipeline/skills/start-task' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'dev-pipeline/skills/start-task' ~/.agents/skills/'start-task' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'start-task' ~/.claude/skills/'start-task' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
