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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00462 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00231 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00092 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00046 |
Grade A, and why
remove-subtask 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 yesterday.
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.
This is a copy
100% identical to remove-subtask — 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
Remove a subtask from its parent task.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
Parse subtask ID to remove, with option to convert to standalone task.
Removing Subtasks
Remove a subtask and optionally convert it back to a standalone task.
Argument Parsing
- "remove subtask 5.1"
- "delete 5.1"
- "convert 5.1 to task" → remove and convert
- "5.1 standalone" → convert to standalone
Execution Options
1. Delete Subtask
task-master remove-subtask --id=<parentId.subtaskId>
2. Convert to Standalone
task-master remove-subtask --id=<parentId.subtaskId> --convert
Pre-Removal Checks
-
Validate Subtask
- Verify subtask exists
- Check completion status
- Review dependencies
-
Impact Analysis
- Other subtasks that depend on it
- Parent task implications
- Data that will be lost
Removal Process
For Deletion:
- Confirm if subtask has work done
- Update parent task estimates
- Remove subtask and its data
- Clean up dependencies
For Conversion:
- Assign new standalone task ID
- Preserve all task data
- Update dependency references
- Maintain task history
Smart Features
- Warn if subtask is in-progress
- Show impact on parent task
- Preserve important data
- Update related estimates
Example Flows
/project:tm/remove-subtask 5.1
→ Warning: Subtask #5.1 is in-progress
→ This will delete all subtask data
→ Parent task #5 will be updated
Confirm deletion? (y/n)
/project:tm/remove-subtask 5.1 convert
→ Converting subtask #5.1 to standalone task #89
→ Preserved: All task data and history
→ Updated: 2 dependency references
→ New task #89 is now independent
Post-Removal
- Update parent task status
- Recalculate estimates
- Show updated hierarchy
- Suggest next actions
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.

checklist
Generate a custom checklist for the current feature based on user requirements.
clarify
Identify underspecified areas in the current feature spec by asking up to 5 highly targeted clarification questions and encoding answers back into the spec.
specify
Create or update the feature specification from a natural language feature description.
analyze
Perform a non-destructive cross-artifact consistency and quality analysis across spec.md, plan.md, and tasks.md after task generation.
converge
Assess the current codebase against the feature's spec, plan, and tasks, then append any remaining unbuilt work as new tasks to tasks.md so implement can complete it.
implement
Execute the implementation plan by processing and executing all tasks defined in tasks.md.
