What it does

Bernstein Create Task is an agent skill from sipyourdrink-ltd/bernstein. Create a new task in the Bernstein orchestrator. Use when the user wants to add a task, delegate work to an agent, file a bug fix, or queue up work for the orchestrator to handle.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/create-task.sh`).

It sits in Development, covering Debugging. The repository describes itself as: The open‑source AI Agents Governance & Orchestration framework: write the rules declaratively, Bernstein enforces them and produces the verifiable, replayable record. Free…. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to add a task
  • Delegate work to an agent
  • Queue up work for the orchestrator to handle

Example prompts

  • “/bernstein-create-task”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

  1. Ask the user (if not already clear) for
  2. Run scripts/create-task.sh with the task details
  3. Show the created task ID and confirm it's queued
  4. If the user wants to track it, suggest using /bernstein-status.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit aee2ea2. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Bernstein Create Task loads about 378 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 50 tokens; SKILL.md has 159 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~50
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~378

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Create Bernstein Task

Create a new task in the Bernstein orchestrator and have it picked up by an agent.

When to Use

  • User says "create a task for..." or "add this to bernstein"
  • User wants to delegate a coding task to an agent
  • User describes a bug fix, feature, or refactor that should be orchestrated
  • User says "have an agent do this" or "queue this up"

Instructions

  1. Ask the user (if not already clear) for:

    • Title: short description of the task
    • Role: one of backend, frontend, qa, security, devops, docs (default: backend)
    • Priority: 0 (urgent) to 3 (low) (default: 1)
    • Scope: tiny, small, medium, large (default: small)
  2. Run scripts/create-task.sh with the task details:

    bash
    scripts/create-task.sh "Fix the auth middleware to handle expired tokens" backend 1 small
  3. Show the created task ID and confirm it's queued:

    Task TASK-042 created (role=backend, priority=1)
    An agent will pick it up shortly.
  4. If the user wants to track it, suggest using /bernstein-status.

Tips

  • For complex tasks, suggest breaking them into smaller subtasks
  • For risky changes, add --require-review flag
  • High-priority (0) tasks get picked up immediately
