autotask-mcp: Command for Claude Code

.claude/commands/tm/add-task/add-task.md

add-task is a command for Claude Code from WYRE-AI/autotask-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (417 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command for creating structured tasks from ordinary language. It can identify details such as priority, dependencies, task type, and suggested complexity from the request and project context.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add feature, bug, refactoring, testing, or documentation tasks, set priorities, connect prerequisites, and suggest subtasks for complex work.
Why use it?
It reduces the work of manually filling in task fields and helps prevent related work or prerequisites from being overlooked.

Command for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: $ARGUMENTS substitution.

This is WYRE-AI/autotask-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on autotask-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything autotask-mcp configures →

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

add-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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Add new tasks with intelligent parsing and context awareness.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Smart Task Addition

Parse natural language to create well-structured tasks.

1. Input Understanding

I'll intelligently parse your request:

  • Natural language → Structured task
  • Detect priority from keywords (urgent, ASAP, important)
  • Infer dependencies from context
  • Suggest complexity based on description
  • Determine task type (feature, bug, refactor, test, docs)

2. Smart Parsing Examples

"Add urgent task to fix login bug" → Title: Fix login bug → Priority: high → Type: bug → Suggested complexity: medium

"Create task for API documentation after task 23 is done" → Title: API documentation → Dependencies: [23] → Type: documentation → Priority: medium

"Need to refactor auth module - depends on 12 and 15, high complexity" → Title: Refactor auth module → Dependencies: [12, 15] → Complexity: high → Type: refactor

3. Context Enhancement

Based on current project state:

  • Suggest related existing tasks
  • Warn about potential conflicts
  • Recommend dependencies
  • Propose subtasks if complex

4. Interactive Refinement

Task Preview:
─────────────
Title: [Extracted title]
Priority: [Inferred priority]
Dependencies: [Detected dependencies]
Complexity: [Estimated complexity]

Suggestions:
- Similar task #34 exists, consider as dependency?
- This seems complex, break into subtasks?
- Tasks #45-47 work on same module

5. Validation & Creation

Before creating:

  • Validate dependencies exist
  • Check for duplicates
  • Ensure logical ordering
  • Verify task completeness

6. Smart Defaults

Intelligent defaults based on:

  • Task type patterns
  • Team conventions
  • Historical data
  • Current sprint/phase

Result: High-quality tasks from minimal input.

Changes

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.
