create-tasks

A command that breaks a large GitHub issue, called an Epic, into smaller Task issues and links them back to the Epic or its PRD. A PRD is a product requirements document describing what should be built.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create atomic tasks with the needed context, links, conventional-commit type and scope, and a Fibonacci estimate of complexity.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of turning a broad feature plan into small pieces that people or coding agents can complete independently.

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 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 458 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Resolution order if omitted:

  1. Most recent open Epic issue: gh issue list -l Epic -s open --limit 1 --json number -q '.[0].number'

<usage_examples> With epic number:

/ghpm:create-tasks epic=#42

With PRD number (creates tasks for all linked Epics):

/ghpm:create-tasks prd=#10

Auto-resolve most recent Epic:

/ghpm:create-tasks

</usage_examples>

<operating_rules>

  • Do not ask clarifying questions. Make assumptions and record them.
  • Do not create local markdown files. All output goes into GitHub issues/comments.
  • Tasks must be atomic and independently executable by a human or agent.
  • Each Task must include all context needed for its scope (plus links to Epic/PRD).
  • Each Task MUST include a Commit Type (feat, fix, refactor, etc.) and Scope for conventional commits.
  • Task count must be proportional to Epic scope - see guidance below.
  • Each Task MUST have a Fibonacci estimate (1, 2, 3, 5, or 8) - see estimation guidance below. </operating_rules>

<estimation_guidance>

Fibonacci Estimation Scale

Assign a Fibonacci estimate to each Task based on relative complexity. Estimates reflect effort/complexity, not hours.

Estimate Complexity Examples
1 Trivial Update README, fix typo, change config value
2 Simple Add a single test, update documentation section, simple refactor
3 Moderate Add simple feature, refactor small module, add validation
5 Complex Multi-file feature, significant refactor, new API endpoint
8 Very Complex Cross-cutting feature, complex integration, architectural change

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 el-feo/ai-context (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 3,809 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. 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.
