Prefect Community

hi folks, I"m <http://www.jacopotagliabue.it/|Jacopo> - I built a very small POC on using the ShellTask as a base class to run Metaflow flows as part of a Prefect DAG (`<https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KTZPX/p1617381793056800>` ). If there is any interest in having MF tasks as part of Prefect task library, I'd be happy to give it some actual love and fix a bunch of things here and there :wink: Let me know what you think!

Hey <@U01RJE2H76F>! We’re definitely interested :smile:

Let us know if you have any questions about contributing :thumbsup:

hi <@UKVFX6N3B>, silly one (but I'm new here): do you have a standard flow for people adding task classes / any checklist I can follow ?

I’m not sure about for the Task Library specifically, but here’s our Contributing Guide: <https://docs.prefect.io/core/development/contributing.html#contributing>

And the API Docs for `Task` <https://docs.prefect.io/api/latest/core/task.html#task-2>

Yeah, I read API before to write my own class... for adding a new Task class, should I "just" open a PR with the new class file and appropriate description?

Yup! If we need anything else we’ll work with you on the PR
