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.

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

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

--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

--json Emit the complete machine-readable audit and recommended action
-h, --help Print helpait 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
