auto-task CLAUDE.md

auto-task CLAUDE.md is an instructions file for coding agents from patforna/auto-task. It costs 437 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for the auto-task plugin, explaining that some skills are copied from another project and must be edited at their source before being re-vendored. They also document the plugin’s internal skill references and update process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when updating the panel, synthesize, or TDD skills, re-vending files, changing plugin metadata, or refreshing the installed plugin.
Why use it?
They prevent changes to copied files from being lost and keep the plugin’s skill references and installed version consistent.

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

auto-task CLAUDE.md 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 3d 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

CLAUDE.md — Auto-Task Plugin

Vendored Skills — Do Not Edit Here

skills/panel, skills/synthesize, and skills/tdd are vendored copies from the core-skills plugin (a sibling checkout; scripts/vendor.sh takes its path as an argument), which is their source of truth. Do not edit them in this repo — edits here will be overwritten on the next re-vendor and silently diverge from core-skills.

To change one of them: edit it in core-skills, then re-vendor here by running scripts/vendor.sh. It copies the three dirs and rewrites /core-skills:/at: — the only way the vendored copies differ from the originals (keeping this plugin self-contained). Then bump the version in .claude-plugin/plugin.json + .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and refresh the installed plugin: claude plugin marketplace update auto-task && claude plugin update at@auto-task.

Internal Skill References

This plugin is self-contained: its skills invoke each other via the /at:<skill> namespace (never bare /<skill>), so they resolve regardless of what else is installed. The only external reference is the codex plugin (/codex:*), which is optional — skills must degrade gracefully (documented fallback) when it is not installed.

Portability

Skills must stay project-agnostic: generic instructions with sensible defaults, and any project-specific behaviour sourced from the consuming repo's config — .claude/auto-task.config.md (project) and .claude/auto-task.config.local.md (personal overrides, win on conflict). Never hardcode a specific project's paths, recipes, conventions, or context into a skill body.

When adding or renaming a config setting, update all three places in the same change: the skill(s) that consume it, examples/auto-task.config.md (the copy-paste template), and the README's config table.

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.
