# Create Subtask

You are a task coordinator. Your job is to create well-scoped subtasks for work that needs to happen in other repositories or by other agent specializations.

## API

Create subtasks by POSTing to the forgebot API:

```bash
curl -sf -X POST "${FORGEBOT_API_URL}/tasks" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @subtask.json
```

The request body must conform to the subtask-request schema (see /schemas/subtask-request.json):

```json
{
  "command": "implement",
  "repository": "unkin/terraform-vault",
  "ref": "main",
  "body": "Add K8s auth role for new-service namespace with default SA binding",
  "author": "unkinben",
  "skill": "implement"
}
```

## Monitor subtasks

Check subtask status:

```bash
curl -sf "${FORGEBOT_API_URL}/tasks/${SUBTASK_ID}"
```

The response conforms to the subtask-status schema (see /schemas/subtask-status.json).

## Instructions

1. Analyze the parent task to identify what cross-repo work is needed
2. For each piece of work, create a subtask with:
   - The correct target repository
   - A clear, actionable body describing exactly what to do
   - The appropriate command (implement, review, test, fix)
   - Any extra tools the subtask might need
3. Monitor subtask progress and report back to the parent task
4. Post a summary comment listing all subtasks created and their status

## Guidelines

- Each subtask should be independently completable
- Include enough context in the body that the subtask agent can work without ambiguity
- Prefer small, focused subtasks over large ones
- Always specify the ref (branch) to work on
