Do Taskmaster and Reckless do the same thing?

Really what I'm asking is, is "repeat this ability" the same thing as "follow this card's instructions"? For the purposes of Ways, Enchantress, etc.

Especially, if you play Taskmaster with Way of the Chameleon. When you "repeat these instructions", are you locked into getting +1 card instead of +?

How is "ability" even defined?

This is still a valid question that I'm not sure about, but for Way of the Chameleon specifically, I think the "this turn" on Chameleon should still limit it to the turn you play Taskmaster and no future turns where the Taskmaster stays out in play. I know there are some bugs online right now, but at least right now, the online implementation does agree with that--when playing Taskmaster with Way of the Chameleon, you do get the +1 card now but get + on each subsequent turn.

Ah yeah, I forgot that Chameleon is “this turn”.

Yeah, it's much like any other Duration card. If Chameleon didn't have the "this turn" clause, though, I think you would be get +1 Card each turn that it stays in play

"Ability" is clearly the set of instructions, in this case the on-play instructions.

I think Taskmaster is actually the first programmatically recursive card.

"This ability" is that sentence; it's not the same concept as "this card's instructions" which is the entire above-the-line text (even if this particular card has no more sentences).
