create-tasks

A command that turns a feature specification or requirements document into an ordered list of development tasks. The list is saved as tasks.md inside the feature's spec folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare implementation tasks from spec.md or requirements.md. A specification describes what a feature should do; requirements list the expected details or constraints.
Why use it?
It removes the work of breaking a feature plan into smaller, actionable pieces. It also checks that the source specification or requirements are available first.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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

create-tasks 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.

What it actually says

Task List Creation Process

You are creating a tasks breakdown from a given spec and requirements for a new feature.

PHASE 1: Get and read the spec.md and/or requirements document(s)

You will need ONE OR BOTH of these files to inform your tasks breakdown:

  • agent-os/specs/[this-spec]/spec.md
  • agent-os/specs/[this-spec]/planning/requirements.md

IF you don't have ONE OR BOTH of those files in your current conversation context, then ask user to provide direction on where to you can find them by outputting the following request then wait for user's response:

I'll need a spec.md or requirements.md (or both) in order to build a tasks list.

Please direct me to where I can find those.  If you haven't created them yet, you can run /shape-spec or /write-spec.

PHASE 2: Create tasks.md

Once you have spec.md AND/OR requirements.md, use the tasks-list-creator subagent to break down the spec and requirements into an actionable tasks list with strategic grouping and ordering.

Provide the tasks-list-creator:

  • agent-os/specs/[this-spec]/spec.md (if present)
  • agent-os/specs/[this-spec]/planning/requirements.md (if present)
  • agent-os/specs/[this-spec]/planning/visuals/ and its' contents (if present)

The tasks-list-creator will create tasks.md inside the spec folder.

PHASE 3: Inform user

Once the tasks-list-creator has created tasks.md output the following to inform the user:

Your tasks list ready!

✅ Tasks list created: `agent-os/specs/[this-spec]/tasks.md`

NEXT STEP 👉 Run `/implement-tasks` (simple, effective) or `/orchestrate-tasks` (advanced, powerful) to start building!

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.

create-tasks is a command published in the GitHub repository adawalli/nexus (23 stars, last pushed 20d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 399 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 2026-08-30.
