task

A command for managing complex development tasks through planning, delegation, coordination, validation, and follow-up. It can involve specialists from areas such as architecture, frontend, backend, security, and operations.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to coordinate large implementation tasks, delegate parts of the work, run quality checks, and manage a task from analysis through completion.
Why use it?
It provides structure for work that spans several technical areas or requires multiple stages. It also maps tasks to specialized tools and keeps the workflow 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

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 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.

/sc:task - Enhanced Task Management

Triggers

  • Complex tasks requiring multi-agent coordination and delegation
  • Projects needing structured workflow management and cross-session persistence
  • Operations requiring intelligent MCP server routing and domain expertise
  • Tasks benefiting from systematic execution and progressive enhancement

Usage

/sc:task [action] [target] [--strategy systematic|agile|enterprise] [--parallel] [--delegate]

Behavioral Flow

  1. Analyze: Parse task requirements and determine optimal execution strategy
  2. Delegate: Route to appropriate MCP servers and activate relevant personas
  3. Coordinate: Execute tasks with intelligent workflow management and parallel processing
  4. Validate: Apply quality gates and comprehensive task completion verification
  5. Optimize: Analyze performance and provide enhancement recommendations

Key behaviors:

  • Multi-persona coordination across architect, frontend, backend, security, devops domains
  • Intelligent MCP server routing (Sequential, Context7, Magic, Playwright, Morphllm, Serena)
  • Systematic execution with progressive task enhancement and cross-session persistence
  • Advanced task delegation with hierarchical breakdown and dependency management

MCP Integration

  • Sequential MCP: Complex multi-step task analysis and systematic execution planning
  • Context7 MCP: Framework-specific patterns and implementation best practices
  • Magic MCP: UI/UX task coordination and design system integration
  • Playwright MCP: Testing workflow integration and validation automation
  • Morphllm MCP: Large-scale task transformation and pattern-based optimization
  • Serena MCP: Cross-session task persistence and project memory management

Tool Coordination

  • TodoWrite: Hierarchical task breakdown and progress tracking across Epic → Story → Task levels
  • Task: Advanced delegation for complex multi-agent coordination and sub-task management
  • Read/Write/Edit: Task documentation and implementation coordination
  • sequentialthinking: Structured reasoning for complex task dependency analysis

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 is a command published in the GitHub repository SuperClaude-Org/SuperClaude_Framework (23,856 stars, last pushed 12d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 11 tokens to every session and 773 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.
