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 5.1 | $0.00000 | $0.00367 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00183 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00000 | $0.00073 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00000 | $0.00037 |
Grade A, and why
process-task-list 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 5d 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
88% identical to process-task-list — 13 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.
What it actually says
Task List Management
Guidelines for managing task lists in markdown files to track progress on completing a PRD
Task Implementation
- One sub-task at a time: Do NOT start the next sub‑task until you ask the user for permission and they say “yes” or "y"
- Completion protocol:
- When you finish a sub‑task, immediately mark it as completed by changing
[ ]to[x]. - If all subtasks underneath a parent task are now
[x], also mark the parent task as completed.
- When you finish a sub‑task, immediately mark it as completed by changing
- Stop after each sub‑task and wait for the user’s go‑ahead.
Task List Maintenance
-
Update the task list as you work:
- Mark tasks and subtasks as completed (
[x]) per the protocol above. - Add new tasks as they emerge.
- Mark tasks and subtasks as completed (
-
Maintain the “Relevant Files” section:
- List every file created or modified.
- Give each file a one‑line description of its purpose.
AI Instructions
When working with task lists, the AI must:
- Regularly update the task list file after finishing any significant work.
- Follow the completion protocol:
- Mark each finished sub‑task
[x]. - Mark the parent task
[x]once all its subtasks are[x].
- Mark each finished sub‑task
- Add newly discovered tasks.
- Keep “Relevant Files” accurate and up to date.
- Before starting work, check which sub‑task is next.
- After implementing a sub‑task, update the file and then pause for user approval.
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.

process-task-list is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository ragnar-johannsson/mcp-sgf (0 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 367 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to process-task-list, differing in 13 lines, and is treated as a copy.
