ait task — Complete Reference

Start Plan-bound work, inspect and audit Task state, land admitted work, or abandon an unfinished Task.

Audience: Coding agents and maintainers

Operating boundary#

Purpose: Start Plan-bound work, inspect and audit Task state, land admitted work, or abandon an unfinished Task.

Effect class: Task lifecycle and bound-workspace mutation; land advances the configured target only after admission, while abandon performs the bounded unfinished-work closeout described by its exact help.

Coverage: 7 public help surfaces under ait task.

The blocks below preserve the RC.8 binary output in full, including every emitted argument, option, default, possible value, conflict, and requirement.

ait task#

Binary description: Start, inspect, audit, land, or abandon scoped Task lifecycle authority.

Code · text
Start, inspect, audit, land, or abandon scoped Task lifecycle authority.

Usage: ait task <COMMAND>

Commands:
  start    Start one Task and its initial Change in the configured scope or an explicit local/remote compatibility scope; sprint mode uses one exact file-backed Plan item
  list     List the bounded open Task inventory or complete history in one selected scope
  show     Show one Task record from one selected scope
  audit    Read-only audit of one Task against logical main in one selected scope
  land     Land one Task or Change onto logical main with fixed direct mode. The configured workflow mode selects local or remote authority unless mutually exclusive --local or --remote explicitly chooses the compatibility scope. Local land consumes an existing Snapshot; remote land consumes an already-ready selected Patchset. Final Task closeout removes the bound worktree and archives its accepted-head feature Line.
  abandon  Permanently abandon one Task lineage in the configured scope or an explicit local/remote compatibility scope
  help     Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -h, --help  Print help

ait task start#

Binary description: Start one Task and its initial Change in the configured scope or an explicit local/remote compatibility scope; sprint mode uses one exact file-backed Plan item

Code · text
Start one Task and its initial Change in the configured scope or an explicit local/remote compatibility scope; sprint mode uses one exact file-backed Plan item

Usage: ait task start --intent <INTENT> (--from <MARKDOWN_PATH#ITEM_REF> | --title <TITLE>) [--local | --remote <REMOTE>] [--json]

Options:
      --title <TITLE>                  Unbound Task title; required and available only when sprint mode is off
      --intent <INTENT>                Required Task intent in both manual and --from modes
      --from <MARKDOWN_PATH#ITEM_REF>  Sprint-only exact file-backed Plan source; syncs, validates, binds, and derives the Task and initial Change title deterministically
      --local                          Force local authority even when the configured workflow mode defaults to remote
      --remote <REMOTE>                Force the named remote authority even when the configured workflow mode defaults to local
      --json                           Emit the complete machine-readable Task-start result
  -h, --help                           Print help

ait task list#

Binary description: List the bounded open Task inventory or complete history in one selected scope

Code · text
List the bounded open Task inventory or complete history in one selected scope

Usage: ait task list [OPTIONS]

Options:
      --local            Read local Task authority even when the configured workflow mode defaults to remote
      --remote <REMOTE>  Read Task authority from the named remote even when the configured workflow mode defaults to local
      --all              Show complete Task history instead of the bounded open view
      --json             Emit the selected Task inventory as machine-readable JSON
  -h, --help             Print help

ait task show#

Binary description: Show one Task record from one selected scope

Code · text
Show one Task record from one selected scope

Usage: ait task show [OPTIONS] <TASK_ID>

Arguments:
  <TASK_ID>  

Options:
      --local            Read local Task authority even when the configured workflow mode defaults to remote
      --remote <REMOTE>  Read Task authority from the named remote even when the configured workflow mode defaults to local
      --json             Emit the complete machine-readable Task record
  -h, --help             Print help

ait task audit#

Binary description: Read-only audit of one Task against logical main in one selected scope

Code · text
Read-only audit of one Task against logical main in one selected scope

Usage: ait task audit [OPTIONS] <TASK_ID>

Arguments:
  <TASK_ID>  

Options:
      --local            Audit local Task authority even when the configured workflow mode defaults to remote
      --remote <REMOTE>  Audit Task authority on the named remote even when the configured workflow mode defaults to local
      --json             Emit the complete machine-readable audit and recommended action
  -h, --help             Print help

ait task land#

Binary description: Land one Task or Change onto logical main with fixed direct mode. The configured workflow mode selects local or remote authority unless mutually exclusive --local or --remote explicitly chooses the compatibility scope. Local land consumes an existing Snapshot; remote land consumes an already-ready selected Patchset. Final Task closeout removes the bound worktree and archives its accepted-head feature Line.

Usage: ait task land [OPTIONS] <TASK_OR_CHANGE_ID>

Arguments:
  <TASK_OR_CHANGE_ID>  Task id or change id to land onto logical main with fixed direct mode. Scope follows workflow-mode unless --local or --remote is provided.

Options:
      --local            Force local draft land even when the configured workflow mode defaults to remote
      --remote <REMOTE>  Force closeout through the named remote's already-ready selected Patchset even when the configured workflow mode defaults to local
      --json             Emit the complete machine-readable land and closeout result

ait task abandon#

Binary description: Permanently abandon one Task lineage in the configured scope or an explicit local/remote compatibility scope

Code · text
