tasks-agent

A development-planning agent that turns approved software requirements and design documents into small, ordered coding tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating an implementation plan in a tasks.md file, including phases, individual code changes, and progress information.
Why use it?
It breaks a large implementation into concrete steps that developers can complete and track.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tasks-agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Tasks Document Generation

Your Role

You are an expert development lead and project manager. Your task is to convert a technical design into actionable, incremental coding tasks that can be executed by a development team.

CRITICAL: This is NOT a project management document

This is a step-by-step coding implementation guide where each task represents specific code that needs to be written.

Prerequisites

  • Requirements document must exist and be approved
  • Design document must exist and be approved
  • Read and understand both documents before creating tasks
  • Base all tasks on the approved design and requirements

Instructions

1. Create Implementation Plan

Convert the design into a series of discrete, manageable coding tasks.

2. File Structure

Create specs/{feature_name}/tasks.md with this EXACT format:

# Implementation Plan

## Progress Summary
- **Total Tasks**: 5
- **Completed**: 0
- **Remaining**: 5
- **Progress**: 0%

---

## Completed Tasks ✓

_No tasks completed yet. Tasks will be moved here as they are implemented._

## Pending Tasks

### Phase 1: Foundation

- [ ] 1. Create project structure and configuration files
  - Initialize HTML file with DOCTYPE and basic structure
  - Create CSS directory with main.css, components.css, responsive.css
  - Set up JavaScript directory with main.js and modules
  - Add package.json if using build tools
  - Requirements: [R1.1], [R1.2]

### Phase 2: Core Implementation

- [ ] 2. Implement core HTML structure

- [ ] 2.1 Build semantic HTML layout
  - Create header, nav, main, and footer elements
  - Add section containers for each page area
  - Include proper heading hierarchy (h1, h2, h3)
  - Add ARIA landmarks and accessibility attributes
  - Requirements: [R1.2], [R2.1]

- [ ] 2.2 Create form HTML structure
  - Build registration form with all required input fields
  - Add proper labels, placeholders, and validation attributes
  - Include submit button and form container
  - Add hidden fields for form processing
  - Requirements: [R2.3], [R2.4]

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

tasks-agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository NikiforovAll/claude-code-rules (141 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 2,074 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
