expand-all-tasks

expand-all-tasks is a command for Claude Code from snarktank/code-editing-agent. It costs 0 tokens per session (217 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of expand-all-tasks, MIT.

A command that finds pending tasks marked as complex and without subtasks, then breaks them into smaller tasks. Subtasks are pieces of a larger task that can be planned and completed separately.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to expand suitable pending tasks in bulk, preserve task relationships, plan work in a logical order, or optionally force expansion and request additional analysis.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of deciding which large tasks need a breakdown and keeps the resulting subtasks and dependencies organized.

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

expand-all-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 4d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to expand-all-tasks — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Expand all pending tasks that need subtasks.

Bulk Task Expansion

Intelligently expands all tasks that would benefit from breakdown.

Execution

task-master expand --all

Smart Selection

Only expands tasks that:

  • Are marked as pending
  • Have high complexity (>5)
  • Lack existing subtasks
  • Would benefit from breakdown

Expansion Process

  1. Analysis Phase

    • Identify expansion candidates
    • Group related tasks
    • Plan expansion strategy
  2. Batch Processing

    • Expand tasks in logical order
    • Maintain consistency
    • Preserve relationships
    • Optimize for parallelism
  3. Quality Control

    • Ensure subtask quality
    • Avoid over-decomposition
    • Maintain task coherence
    • Update dependencies

Options

  • Add force to expand all regardless of complexity
  • Add research for enhanced AI analysis

Results

After bulk expansion:

  • Summary of tasks expanded
  • New subtask count
  • Updated complexity metrics
  • Suggested task order

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.
