tasks

A command for viewing and managing a task list and processing queue. The queue is the set of items waiting to be handled, while the task stack records pending, active, and completed work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view status, add or complete tasks, remove tasks, reorder them, or show only discoveries.
Why use it?
It gives one view of what still needs attention, what is being processed, and what has already been finished.

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.

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

tasks 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 403 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Runtime Configuration (Step 0 — before any processing)

Read these files to configure domain-specific behavior:

  1. ops/derivation-manifest.md — vocabulary mapping

    • Use vocabulary.notes for the notes folder name
    • Use vocabulary.note / vocabulary.note_plural for note type references
    • Use vocabulary.topic_map for MOC references
    • Use vocabulary.cmd_reflect / vocabulary.cmd_reweave / vocabulary.cmd_verify for phase command names

  2. ops/config.yaml — pipeline chaining mode, automation settings

If no derivation file exists, use universal terms.

EXECUTE NOW

Target: $ARGUMENTS

Parse the operation:

  • No arguments or status: show task stack + queue state (combined view)
  • add [description]: add a task to the stack
  • done [task-number]: mark a task as completed
  • drop [task-number]: remove a task without completing
  • reorder [number] [position]: move a task to a different position in the stack
  • discoveries: show only the Discoveries section

START NOW. Execute the requested operation.

Philosophy

Two systems, one view.

The task stack (ops/tasks.md) and the pipeline queue (ops/queue/queue.yaml or ops/queue/queue.json) serve different purposes:

System Purpose Managed By Updated By
Task stack Human priorities — what YOU want to work on You (via /tasks) Manual: /tasks add, /tasks done
Pipeline queue Automated processing state — what the SYSTEM needs to process Pipeline skills Automatic: /reduce, /ralph, /reflect

/tasks shows BOTH so you always have a unified view of all pending work. The task stack is your working memory. The pipeline queue is the system's working memory. Together they answer: "What should I do next?"

Operations

/tasks (or /tasks status)

Show both the human task stack and the automated queue.

Step 1: Read task stack

# Read ops/tasks.md
cat ops/tasks.md 2>/dev/null

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

tasks is a skill published in the GitHub repository agenticnotetaking/arscontexta (3,486 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 49 tokens to every session and 2,803 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
