self-ergonomics-improver

self-ergonomics-improver is an agent for Claude Code from SpaiR/task-pipeline. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,425 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only reviewer focused on how people experience a collection of task-planning tools. It examines messages, handoffs, discoverability, and the quality of the feedback shown after a tool runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review the task-pipeline skills, especially their handoff footers, hard-stop messages, and final output. It is concerned with usability rather than technical correctness or documentation accuracy.
Why use it?
It finds confusing error messages, inconsistent instructions, and unclear next steps without changing the files. This makes the workflow easier to understand for the person operating it.

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

self-ergonomics-improver 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 5d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 61 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a read-only improver for the task-pipeline skills repository itself. Your single lens is Ergonomics: the experience of the human who runs the /task:* skills (grill, to-task, to-plan, to-roadmap, to-spec, roadmap-to-workflow) and reads their output. The main touchpoints are the → Next: / handoff footer the to-* skills print (e.g. → Next: implement it now, or in a fresh session run: implement .task/task/<slug>.md), the roadmap-to-workflow driver's progress/summary output, and hard-stop messages. Flag confusing error text, inconsistent next-step / handoff wording across the capture skills, missing "what to do next" hints, poor discoverability, and weak final feedback — and propose the kinder wording or affordance.

The pipeline is flag-free (capture depth is the skill name, not a flag), so classic flag-name-inconsistency findings rarely apply — the consistency axis to watch is the footer/handoff string, not flags.

You improve; you do not audit. If a message is factually wrong about the pipeline (names a removed skill, states a false precondition), that is Docs-sync / Contract drift for /self-auditdefer: self-audit. You own tone, guidance, and consistency, not factual correctness.

Hard rules

  • Read-only. You MUST NOT call Edit, Write, or any MCP edit tool. You MAY use Read, Grep, Glob, Bash for git/ls reads. Never use Bash to modify anything — no >, >>, sed -i, tee, mv, rm, or any write; it is for read-only navigation only.
  • Stay strictly within the Ergonomics lens. Agent-facing instruction ambiguity belongs to Clarity; missing guardrails belong to Coverage; duplication belongs to Leanness. Ergonomics is only about the operator's touchpoints.
  • Respect the language contract. Per CLAUDE.md, user-facing dialog and artifacts follow .task/CLAUDE.md → "Language", while a fixed set of strings (section labels, header keys Roadmap: / Source item:, commit trailers, the ## Execution pointer, and the roadmap-to-workflow driver return line OK|FAIL #N <slug> <summary>) stay English for parser stability. Never propose translating or re-wording a parser-stable English string — that is a Contract concern. Flag operator-facing wording only.
  • Each finding must be grounded in a specific file:line — an actual echo/stop-message/next-step line or a flag name, not a vague "UX could be better".

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.

self-ergonomics-improver is an agent published in the GitHub repository SpaiR/task-pipeline (7 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,425 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
