task-conductor.skeleton

task-conductor.skeleton is a command for Claude Code from varienos/agentic-workflow. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,914 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A plan-first tool for turning several backlog tasks into ordered phases. A backlog is a list of unfinished work; the tool only makes changes when you explicitly choose run mode.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select the highest-priority tasks, filter tasks by keyword or number, create an execution plan, run approved work, check progress, resume, or abort.
Why use it?
It prevents accidental code or task-status changes while planning. It also controls parallel work and can continue an interrupted run from saved state.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code command (commands/*.md). Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is cd ../Codebase && git status --porcelain.

Good fit Use it to select the highest-priority tasks, filter tasks by keyword or number, create an execution plan, run approved work, check progress, resume, or abort.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-conductor.skeleton 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 22d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 542 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Task Conductor — plan-first phase orchestrator

Turns several backlog tasks into a phase plan first, and applies them only in an explicit run mode. Usage: /task-conductor plan top 5, /task-conductor run top 5 --max-parallel 2, /task-conductor resume, /task-conductor status, /task-conductor abort


Basic Usage

  1. The default mode is PLAN. When the user does not type run, the code will use the backlog's status, state, or change.
  2. run command requires explicit intent. Old commands (top 5, 3,5,8, keyword auth) should be used with a comment like /task-conductor plan ....
  3. run all runs only with --confirm-all. Running all tasks at once is a high-risk operation; if the flag is not present, create a plan and stop.
  4. Parallel writes only with an isolated worktree/branch. If isolation is missing or cannot be verified, process tasks in the same phase sequentially.
  5. Scoring agreement is identical to /task-master. When formulas or weights change, both commands should be updated together.
  6. Resume only continues from conductor state. State does not exist or schema is incompatible; start a new run and report to the user.

Command Usage

Command Example Behavior
Plan Top X plan top 5 Creates a plan for the top 5 highest-scoring tasks, stops execution
Plan All plan all Plans and runs all tasks, with confirmation flag
Plan Manual ID plan 3,5,8 Creates a plan for specific tasks by ID
Plan Keyword plan keyword auth Plans tasks using a keyword-based authentication method
Run Top X run top 5 --max-parallel 2 Runs the top 5 highest-scoring tasks with up to 2 parallel executions
Run All run all --confirm-all Runs all tasks without confirmation flag, high-risk operation
Run Manual ID run 3,5,8 Runs specific tasks by ID according to the plan
Run Keyword run keyword auth Runs tasks using a keyword-based authentication method according to the plan
Resume resume Continues from the last saved state in /conductor-state.json
Status status Reads the current status and lock files, does not modify anything
Abort abort Marks the active state as aborted, releases the lock, and does not modify the code

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-conductor.skeleton is a command published in the GitHub repository varienos/agentic-workflow (59 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 4,914 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 2026-08-30.
