task-tracking-basic

A simple system for tracking smaller software tasks. It defines the task, requirements, priority, estimated effort, subtasks, current status, and completion state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan and monitor a simple enhancement from start to finish, including its requirements, priority, estimated size, subtasks, and completion.
Why use it?
It makes progress visible without the heavier tracking needed for large feature work. Clear subtasks and regular updates make it easier to see what remains.

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

task-tracking-basic 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

BASIC TASK TRACKING FOR LEVEL 2

TL;DR: This document outlines a streamlined task tracking approach for Level 2 (Simple Enhancement) tasks. It provides a balanced framework for managing task progress with minimal overhead.

🔍 TASK TRACKING OVERVIEW

Level 2 tasks require a more structured tracking approach than Level 1, but don't need the comprehensive tracking of higher-level tasks. This basic tracking system provides sufficient structure while maintaining efficiency.

📋 TASK TRACKING PRINCIPLES

  1. Clarity: Tasks should be clearly defined
  2. Visibility: Progress should be visible at a glance
  3. Structure: Break work into logical subtasks
  4. Updates: Keep progress regularly updated
  5. Completion: Clearly mark when tasks are done

📋 TASK STRUCTURE FOR LEVEL 2

## [Feature Name] Enhancement

**Status**: [Not Started/In Progress/Complete]
**Priority**: [High/Medium/Low]
**Estimated Effort**: [Small/Medium/Large]

### Description
[Brief description of the enhancement]

### Requirements
- [Requirement 1]

- [Requirement 3]

### Subtasks

- [ ] [Subtask 2]
- [ ] [Subtask 3]

### Dependencies

📋 TASKS.MD ORGANIZATION

Organize tasks.md with these sections for Level 2 tasks:

# Tasks

## Active Enhancements
- [Enhancement 1] - [Status]
- [Enhancement 2] - [Status]

## Enhancement Details
### [Enhancement 1]

### [Enhancement 2]

## Completed Enhancements

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.
