What is taskplanner CLAUDE.md?

Repository instructions for TaskPlanner, a VS Code extension that tracks tasks in Markdown files stored in the project. They describe its TypeScript structure, tests, build tools, and shared plugin packages.

Use them when editing task tracking logic, VS Code features, tests, formatting, or release packages. They also explain how task data stays git-tracked and readable by AI agents.

They help the coding agent understand where different parts belong and which commands to use when checking or packaging changes.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.01597	$0.01597
Opus 5.5	$0.00639	$0.00639
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00319	$0.00319

Security

Grade A, and why

taskplanner 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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

95% identical to taskplanner AGENTS.md — 2 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.

TaskPlanner — Development Guide

VS Code / Cursor extension for markdown task tracking under .tasks/. Core is VS Code-free; MCP server ships as @smekai/taskplanner.

Stack: TypeScript (strict), esbuild, Vitest, ESLint, Prettier.

Layout: one folder per harness on a shared core. src/core/ (domain library), mcp/ (MCP server + npm package), views/vscode/ (VS Code / Cursor extension), views/mcp-app/ (board inside MCP hosts), views/claude/, views/cursor/, views/codex/ (one plugin per host, each with its own skills and built files), test/core/ (core tests), dist/. Each folder has a short CLAUDE.md (for the Claude plugin, in views/claude/mod/).

Harnesses: a harness imports only src/core/ and itself; duplicating code between harnesses is fine. .eslintrc.json overrides enforce it.

npm install && npm run build && npm run typecheck && npm test && npm run lint
npm run package          # VSIX
npm run release:check    # full pre-release gate

Changelog: on Done, one line under ## [Unreleased] in CHANGELOG.md (user perspective, task ID).

Versioning: every commit bumps patch via .githooks/pre-commit (scripts/bump-version.js). Use --no-verify only when the exact version was already set and validated.

Architecture: one markdown file per state; config in .tasks/config.json; dates UTC via src/core/util/time.ts (YYYY-MM-DD / YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM only).

Comments: npm run lint fails on comments in src/, mcp/src/, views/vscode/src/, views/mcp-app/ and views/claude/mod/src/; tests are exempt (machine directives exempt; WHY: escape hatch). Prefer clearer names over comments.

TaskPlanner — AI Agent Instructions

Tasks live as markdown under .tasks/. Prefer the MCP tools over hand-editing whenever they are available.

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.
