do_task

do_task is a command for Claude Code from Helmi/claude-simone. It costs 0 tokens per session (829 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command workflow for processing Simone project tasks from a task or sprint identifier. It requires the agent to analyse scope, inspect the task, check context and dependencies, do the work, review it, and update its status.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a Simone task, whether given a task ID, sprint ID, or no identifier. It searches the project’s sprint and general-task folders, reads requirements, validates scope, executes the task, and finalizes its status.
Why use it?
It turns a task request into a fixed sequence, reducing skipped checks and incomplete handoffs. It also pauses when no matching open task is found or the task is unclear.

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

do_task 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 1mo 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.

Process Simone Task based on $Argument

IMPORTANT: Follow from Top to Bottom - don't skip anything!

CREATE A TODO LIST with exactly these 8 items

  1. Analyse scope from argument
  2. Identify task file
  3. Analyse the task
  4. Set status to in_progress
  5. Execute task work
  6. Placeholder
  7. Execute Code review
  8. Finalize Task status

1 · Analyse scope from argument

<$ARGUMENTS> ⇒ Task ID, Sprint ID, or empty (select next open task in current sprint).

2 · Identify task file

Search .simone/03_SPRINTS/ and .simone/04_GENERAL_TASKS/. If no open task matches, pause and ask the user how to proceed.

3 · Analyse the task

Read the task description. If anything is unclear, ask clarifying questions before continuing.

CRITICAL CONTEXT VALIDATION: Before executing any task spin up Parallel Subagents for these tasks:

  1. Sprint Context: Confirm task belongs to current sprint scope
  2. Dependencies: Check if any dependent tasks need to be completed first
  3. Requirements: Read relevant requirements docs in .simone/02_REQUIREMENTS/
  4. Scope Verification: Ensure task aligns with current sprint objectives

IMPORTANT: If task references functionality from future sprints or has unmet dependencies, pause and ask for clarification.

4 · Set status to in_progress

  • Find out the current local timestamp (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM).
  • Update front-matter to status: in_progress and set Updated time
  • Update ./simone/00_PROJECT_MANIFEST.md to set task in progress, updated time and current Sprint Status.

5 · Execute task work

  • Follow Description, Goal and Acceptance Criteria.
  • Consult supporting docs in .simone/01_PROJECT_DOCS/ and .simone/02_REQUIREMENTS/.
  • Iterate over subtasks:
    1. Pick the next incomplete subtask.
    2. Implement the required changes, consulting docs as needed.
    3. Mark the subtask done.
    4. Append a log entry to ## Output Log using the format [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM]: <message>.
    5. Repeat until all subtasks are complete.

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.
