Agent skill · ma08
get-task-details
Print rich task details for the current task context: status file path, primary tracker URL, machine name, coding agent/session id, transcript path, zellij session, zellij link, and a short task recap. Replaces the old get-task-status-file interface. Use reorient-myself instead when the user wants a first-principles audit of whether the task is on the right track.

What this skill does
Get Task Details Resolve task status path and metadata in one read-only command. Scope Boundary Use this skill for factual operational orientation: which task is active, where its durable context lives, and what its recorded state says. Do not turn the three-line recap into a strategic audit. When the user asks whether the task is pursuing the right objective, wants blind spots challenged, or needs a paste-ready recovery prompt, use reorient-myself instead. That skill may use this output as evidence. Invocation Command Output Contract (Human-Readable) Default call (no task-slug): resolves the current task for this session checks the machine-local current-task pointer first if the pointer is missing or stale, falls back to the latest same-session task in the current project prints a clear no-match message instead of guessing from unrelated recent folders Primary task: Task folder Status file path Primary tracker kind Full primary tracker URL Tracker human ID Tracker title GitHub compatibility URL when present Machine Coding agent Agent session ID Transcript path Zellij session Zellij link Recap block with three bullets: what this task is about current status next steps / whether the user needs to do anything When the status file lacks one of those recap fields, or its Last Updated value is over 14 days old, performs a bounded read-only runtime investigation: the first linked GitHub PR, then the primary GitHub/Linear tracker, then a matching local Git checkout. Runtime-derived recap lines are labeled Runtime investigation. Direct --status-file / --task-dir targeting prints the same primary-task recap Optional Related tasks (same slug pattern) only when task-slug is used Optional Stale tasks (>7 days old) only when task-slug is used If no task is found for the current session, print a clear message and suggest save-task-status or start-new-task. Notes Read-only: this skill never edits files. …
