README

Excerpt

Tasks

Use the bb tasks CLI to understand the assigned task, keep its record useful, and report the outcome where the work is tracked.

Delegation presets are user-defined; Tasks ships with none. Before dispatching work, use bb tasks preset list and create a preset if the required one does not already exist. Dispatch requires an existing preset.

Work a task

Find and read the task before acting:
```
bb tasks show ABC-12
```
The detail includes the description, status, priority, labels, subtasks, comments, attachments, attached worker threads, and the GitHub pull requests those threads produced (from environment metadata, with state open/draft/merged/closed). Use bb tasks show ABC-12 --json when the result will drive commands or code.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
