Research direction

Start by tracing how the @task decorator exposes function arguments and how the CLI currently generates task help. Compare the docstring's :param entries with the existing help output, then define and verify how those descriptions should appear for skip and validate.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

@task
def build(skip=False, validate=False):
    """
    Just build
    :param skip: it's blahblah...
    :param validate: it's balhblah...
    """
    pass

I can make a pr for it.
