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 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00249 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00100 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00050 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00025 |
Grade A, and why
expand-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 1mo 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to expand-task — 5 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
Break down a complex task into subtasks.
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS (task ID)
Intelligent Task Expansion
Analyzes a task and creates detailed subtasks for better manageability.
Execution
task-master expand --id=$ARGUMENTS
Expansion Process
-
Task Analysis
- Review task complexity
- Identify components
- Detect technical challenges
- Estimate time requirements
-
Subtask Generation
- Create 3-7 subtasks typically
- Each subtask 1-4 hours
- Logical implementation order
- Clear acceptance criteria
-
Smart Breakdown
- Setup/configuration tasks
- Core implementation
- Testing components
- Integration steps
- Documentation updates
Enhanced Features
Based on task type:
- Feature: Setup → Implement → Test → Integrate
- Bug Fix: Reproduce → Diagnose → Fix → Verify
- Refactor: Analyze → Plan → Refactor → Validate
Post-Expansion
After expansion:
- Show subtask hierarchy
- Update time estimates
- Suggest implementation order
- Highlight critical path
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.

expand-task is a command published in the GitHub repository vibehat/claude-task-manager (21 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 249 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to expand-task, differing in 5 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other commands, from other repositories
research-verify
Verify existing research findings against independent primary sources. Upgrades confidence from 'sources agree' to 'independently verified.'.
discuss
A command that interviews you in five phases and saves a detailed description of a proposed feature or change. EARS is a structured way to write requirements so they can be checked clearly.
sdd
A command that creates three connected planning files for a software feature: requirements, design, and tasks.
traceability-gen
A command that rebuilds a Markdown table linking requirements to project plans and tests. It reads requirement files, plan files, and test markers, then records what is planned or covered.
web-inspect
Browser-based investigation using playwright-cli — open pages, inspect elements, check console errors, capture screenshots. Headed mode by default.
