Groove Utilities Task Create

This is the canonical task creation interface for the Groove workflow system. It writes tasks to your configured backend (beans, Linear, or GitHub) with proper structure: title, type, status, optional parent, and a rich body for any non-trivial work. The body format is prescribed with Context, Goal, Acceptance Criteria, and Links sections. Default status is in-progress, not todo, because tasks get created when you're already doing the work. Other Groove skills are meant to call this one rather than rolling their own creation logic. If you're building on top of Groove's task system, this is your entry point.

Outcome

A task is created in the configured backend with a title, type, status, optional parent, and (for non-trivial tasks) a rich body. The task ID is returned for reference. This command is the single source of truth for how tasks are created — other skills (work compound, daily, etc.) that need to create tasks must follow this spec and call this skill rather than defining their own creation rules.

Acceptance Criteria

Task exists in backend with all required fields populated
Task ID is shown to user after creation
Non-trivial tasks (feature work, bugs, plans, stage tasks) have a rich body — never create with an empty body when the task represents real work or a stage
Parent is set when context suggests one (e.g. stage task under a daily or work epic)
