autotask-mcp: Command for Claude Code

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

show-task is a command for Claude Code from WYRE-AI/autotask-mcp. It costs 0 tokens per session (495 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that displays detailed information about tasks in a task-management system.

In plain words
What is it for?
It can show a specific task, current or next work, blocked or critical tasks, multiple tasks for comparison, and their relationships or progress.
Why use it?
It gathers status, history, dependencies, priorities, tests, and timing in one view instead of making the user inspect each detail separately.

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

show-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 8d 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

Show detailed task information with rich context and insights.

Arguments: $ARGUMENTS

Enhanced Task Display

Parse arguments to determine what to show and how.

1. Smart Task Selection

Based on $ARGUMENTS:

  • Number → Show specific task with full context
  • "current" → Show active in-progress task(s)
  • "next" → Show recommended next task
  • "blocked" → Show all blocked tasks with reasons
  • "critical" → Show critical path tasks
  • Multiple IDs → Comparative view

2. Contextual Information

For each task, intelligently include:

Core Details

  • Full task information (id, title, description, details)
  • Current status with history
  • Test strategy and acceptance criteria
  • Priority and complexity analysis

Relationships

  • Dependencies (what it needs)
  • Dependents (what needs it)
  • Parent/subtask hierarchy
  • Related tasks (similar work)

Time Intelligence

  • Created/updated timestamps
  • Time in current status
  • Estimated vs actual time
  • Historical completion patterns

3. Visual Enhancements

📋 Task #45: Implement User Authentication
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Status: 🟡 in-progress (2 hours)
Priority: 🔴 High | Complexity: 73/100

Dependencies: ✅ #41, ✅ #42, ⏳ #43 (blocked)
Blocks: #46, #47, #52

Progress: ████████░░ 80% complete

Recent Activity:
- 2h ago: Status changed to in-progress
- 4h ago: Dependency #42 completed
- Yesterday: Task expanded with 3 subtasks

4. Intelligent Insights

Based on task analysis:

  • Risk Assessment: Complexity vs time remaining
  • Bottleneck Analysis: Is this blocking critical work?
  • Recommendation: Suggested approach or concerns
  • Similar Tasks: How others completed similar work

5. Action Suggestions

Context-aware next steps:

  • If blocked → Show how to unblock
  • If complex → Suggest expansion
  • If in-progress → Show completion checklist
  • If done → Show dependent tasks ready to start

6. Multi-Task View

When showing multiple tasks:

  • Common dependencies
  • Optimal completion order
  • Parallel work opportunities
  • Combined complexity analysis
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.
