task-list-init

A command that turns a product requirements document, or PRP, into a detailed checklist saved in PRPs/checklist.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan file changes, preserve existing code patterns, and require unit-test coverage for each task.
Why use it?
It makes a large implementation request easier to follow by breaking the work into ordered tasks and marking completed items.

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 260 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

task-list-init 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

claude ** Create a comprehensive task list in PRPs/checklist.md for PRP $ARGIMENTS

Ingest the infomration then dig deep into our existing codebase and PRP, When done ->

ULTRATHINK about the PRP task and create the plan based adhering to claude.md and extract and refine detailed tasks following this principle:

list of tasks to be completed to fullfill the PRP in the order they should be completed using infomration dense keywords

  • Infomration dense keyword examples: ADD, CREATE, MODIFY, MIRROR, FIND, EXECUTE, KEEP, PRESERVE etc

Mark done tasks with: STATUS [DONE], if not done leave empty

Task 1:
STATUS [ ]
MODIFY src/existing_module.py:
  - FIND pattern: "class OldImplementation"
  - INJECT after line containing "def __init__"
  - PRESERVE existing method signatures

STATUS [ ]
CREATE src/new_feature.py:
  - MIRROR pattern from: src/similar_feature.py
  - MODIFY class name and core logic
  - KEEP error handling pattern identical

...(...)

Task N:
...

Each task should have unit test coverage, make tests pass on each task

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.

task-list-init is a command published in the GitHub repository mort-lab/excel-mcp (5 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 260 tokens. 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 2026-08-31.
