tasks

A command that creates separate task files in a tasks/ directory, along with an index and a traceability file. Traceability means linking each requirement to the task that covers it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate tasks after required project documents and approval checks pass, with each task containing its identifier, requirement link, details, and verification steps.
Why use it?
It keeps work broken into small, checkable tasks and prevents requirements from being left without a matching task.

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 C, and why

tasks scanned grade C with 2 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.

Hidden instructionshighPrompt injection

Directives inside HTML comments, invisible characters or bidirectional overrides are read by the model and not by the person reviewing the file.

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

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

⛔ MANDATORY STRUCTURAL REQUIREMENTS

STOP. Read this section before generating ANY output.

Per Constitution Article IX, this command has NON-NEGOTIABLE constraints:

Constraint Required Forbidden
Task storage tasks/ directory with T-XXX-[name].md files Single tasks.md file
Dashboard index.md in FEATURE_DIR No navigation file
Traceability traceability.md mapping requirements ↔ tasks Unmapped tasks
Task content All 4 elements (ID, Mapping, Detail, Verification) Incomplete tasks

If you are about to create a file called tasks.md, STOP. You are violating the Constitution.

Outline

1. Setup & Gate Compliance Check

Run {SCRIPT} from repo root. This script will:

  1. Parse FEATURE_DIR and AVAILABLE_DOCS list
  2. Automatically validate gate criteria (spec.md, plan.md, HITL approval)
  3. BLOCK execution if gates fail - you will see error output

If the script outputs gate failures, report them to the user and DO NOT PROCEED.

1.25 Phase 1 Prelude — Efficiency Hint (v0.4+) (advisory)

Run: atomicspec select-model --phase coordinator

If a non-empty model name is printed, the project has configured an advisory tier for coordinator-role turns like task generation; agents that support per-turn model selection (Claude Code subagent Task tool) MAY honor it. If the command prints nothing, advisor_enabled is false (v0.4 default) — proceed with default behavior; byte-for-byte v0.3 compatibility is preserved.

Advisory only: does not affect Directive 3 pinning (task generation is not yet under Context Pinning; that begins at /atomicspec.implement), gate criteria, atomic task naming (Directive 2), or embedded-context generation (Directive 8). Per-feature measurement lands in v0.4.1.

1.5 Load Project Defaults Registry

Per Constitution Article IX, Directive 7 - Load registry before generating tasks.

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 is a command published in the GitHub repository Chappygo-OS/Atomic-Spec (10 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 21 tokens to every session and 9,972 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (hidden instructions, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
