Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.01141 | $0.01141 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00571 | $0.00571 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00228 | $0.00228 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00114 | $0.00114 |
Grade A, and why
task-tracking-basic scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories โ prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency โ 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to task-tracking-basic โ 0 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.

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.
๐ 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.
๐ TASK TRACKING PRINCIPLES
- Clarity: Tasks should be clearly defined
- Visibility: Progress should be visible at a glance
- Structure: Break work into logical subtasks
- Updates: Keep progress regularly updated
- Completion: Clearly mark when tasks are done
๐ TASK STRUCTURE FOR LEVEL 2
## [Feature Name] Enhancement
**Status**: [Not Started/In Progress/Complete]
**Priority**: [High/Medium/Low]
**Estimated Effort**: [Small/Medium/Large]

๐ TASKS.MD ORGANIZATION
Organize tasks.md with these sections for Level 2 tasks:
# Tasks

- [Enhancement 1] - [Status]
- [Enhancement 2] - [Status]
## Enhancement Details
### [Enhancement 1]
[Task structure as above]
### [Enhancement 2]

## Completed Enhancements
- [X] [Completed Enhancement 1] (YYYY-MM-DD)
- [X] [Completed Enhancement 2] (YYYY-MM-DD)
๐ UPDATING TASK STATUS
Update tasks using this process:
- Starting a Task:
- Update Status to "In Progress"

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.

task-tracking-basic is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository Angry-Robot-Deals/ace-mcp (4 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 1,141 tokens to every session, about $0.0057 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to task-tracking-basic, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
