What its author says it does

Copied from the file, not written here

Pick up or resume a task from `_dev/TODO.md` — marks `[WIP]`, creates or switches to the task's feature branch, rebases with main. Use when the user invokes `/pick-up-task` or asks to grab/resume a pastiche task.

pick-up-task

Harness conventions: _dev/docs/harness.md. Run from the pastiche repo root.

Workflow

  1. Identify the task. Read _dev/TODO.md. Tasks are numbered lines (- [ ] **N.** Name — …) under version-group headings. If the user named a task, use it; otherwise list unchecked, non-[WIP] tasks and ask. Respect group order — earlier groups first unless the user overrides.

  2. New or resume? A task already marked [WIP] whose feature branch exists → resume. Otherwise → new.

  3. New task:

    • Edit _dev/TODO.md: insert [WIP] after - [ ] on the task line.
    • Branch off main: git checkout main && git pull && git checkout -b <version>/<task-name> — <version> from the group heading (e.g. 1.1.0), <task-name> kebab-cased short name (e.g. 1.1.0/codex-support).
    • Tell the user the next step is grill-me → grill-to-spec → divide-task. Do not start it yourself.

  4. Resume:

    • If the current branch is not the task's feature branch, switch to it.
    • Always run the rebase-feat-with-main skill (absorbs any hotfixes).
    • Report where the task stands (spec present at _dev/docs/<branch>/? sub-tasks divided?).

  5. Stop. Pickup ends here; the user drives what happens next.

Notes

  • [WIP] is a soft lock across parallel sessions — never strip another session's marker.
  • For live parallel work on sub-tasks, create a worktree off the feature branch instead of switching branches; skip the worktree when the user says to work directly on the current branch.
  • Completion (not this skill's job): checkbox ticked, [WIP] removed, and parent issue closed when the feature branch merges to main.
