speckit.taskstoissues

A command that turns an existing task list into GitHub issues, which are tracked work items in a software repository, ordered around their dependencies.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a feature already has task and design documents and its repository is hosted on GitHub.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of rewriting planned tasks as actionable issues and helps ensure prerequisite work is represented first.

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

speckit.taskstoissues 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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to speckit.taskstoissues — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Outline

  1. Run .specify/scripts/bash/check-prerequisites.sh --json --require-tasks --include-tasks from repo root and parse FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS list. All paths must be absolute. For single quotes in args like "I'm Groot", use escape syntax: e.g 'I'''m Groot' (or double-quote if possible: "I'm Groot").
  2. From the executed script, extract the path to tasks.
  3. Get the Git remote by running:
git config --get remote.origin.url

ONLY PROCEED TO NEXT STEPS IF THE REMOTE IS A GITHUB URL

  1. For each task in the list, use the GitHub MCP server to create a new issue in the repository that is representative of the Git remote.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES EVER CREATE ISSUES IN REPOSITORIES THAT DO NOT MATCH THE REMOTE URL

Changes

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.
