What it does

AI Task is an agent skill from activepieces/activepieces. The AI team's one command for doing a task the team way, from ticket to merged PR. Use when an engineer on the AI team (chat, agents, MCP, AI providers) starts a task ("/ai-task AI-123", "start AI-123", "work on this bug"), turns a request or customer report into a ticket ("/ai-task customer says chat won't save"), triages or answers a bug or support question ("/ai-task triage ENG-456"), or is about to open or update a PR ("/ai-task ship"). Also lets support, admins and anyone outside the team report an AI bug or…

Its SKILL.md is about 6.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering MCP servers and Workflow automation. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: AI Agents & MCPs & AI Workflow Automation • (~400 MCP servers for AI agents) • AI Automation / AI Agent with MCPs • AI Workflows & AI Agents • MCPs for AI Agents.

When your agent uses it

  • An engineer on the AI team (chat
  • AI providers) starts a task (/ai-task AI-123
  • Work on this bug)
  • Turns a request

Example prompts

  • “/ai-task AI-123”
  • “start AI-123”
  • “work on this bug”
  • “/ai-task”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Linear connected. Call the Linear MCP for the current user (get_user with me). If the tool is missing or the call fails with an auth…
  2. Who you are. The same get_user call returns the user's teams. They're a member if team key AI is in the list.
  3. Repo (start, triage, ship and check). The current directory must be the activepieces repo (git rev-parse --show-toplevel with…
  4. Real data (any moment that needs real numbers or a real row: triage, check, or sizing a bug). Production data comes from a box, which…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 566f00e. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh
    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • box.abuaboud.me

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

AI Task loads about 6.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 239 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,891 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~239
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~6.2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

    ch fixtures regressed. Without a key in `.env.dev`, say it under **Heads up** and continue.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 3,891 words (~6,230 tokens).

“One command, six moments: start, triage, ship, check, note (AI team members) and report (anyone). Work out which one from what the user typed. If it's unclear, ask once.”
