tasks

A command that reads a task store—a file containing task-change records—and displays the current tasks in summary tables.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect task status, urgency, title, assignee, and phase, including the ten most recently completed tasks.
Why use it?
It turns a raw event log into a readable view of active, completed, and cancelled work.

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.
When invoked 259 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.
Security scan A 0 findings. Scan, not verified.
Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
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 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

Read the task store at .rea/tasks.jsonl and render a clean summary table.

Instructions

  1. Read .rea/tasks.jsonl — each line is a JSON event with fields: id, type, title, urgency, phase, assignee, timestamp
  2. Materialize the current state: for each task ID, the latest event determines its status
  3. Group by status: active (created, started, blocked) first, then completed/cancelled
  4. Render as a markdown table with columns: ID | Status | Urgency | Title | Assignee | Phase

Output Format

## Active Tasks

| ID    | Status  | Urgency | Title                        | Assignee | Phase   |
|-------|---------|---------|------------------------------|----------|---------|
| T-001 | started | normal  | Implement review cache CLI   | —        | Phase 2 |

## Completed Tasks (last 10)

| ID    | Title                        | Completed     |
|-------|------------------------------|---------------|
| T-002 | Refactor init.ts             | 2026-04-09    |

If the file doesn't exist or is empty, say: "No tasks found. Use /plan-work to create tasks."

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.
