M3E: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/kiro-spec-tasks/SKILL.md

kiro-spec-tasks is a skill for Codex from akaghef/M3E. It costs 12 tokens per session (2,189 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of kiro-spec-tasks, MIT.

A generator that turns an approved software specification into an ordered list of implementation tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or update tasks for a Kiro specification, including sequential implementation plans.
Why use it?
It connects requirements and design decisions to concrete work, helping reveal missing coverage or an impractical task sequence.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: mentions subagents; positional $N argument; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is akaghef/M3E's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on M3E itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything M3E configures →

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

kiro-spec-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 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.

Origin

This is a copy

91% identical to kiro-spec-tasks — 34 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.

Implementation Tasks Generator

<background_information>

  • Success Criteria:
    • All requirements mapped to specific tasks
    • Tasks properly sized (1-3 hours each)
    • Clear task progression with proper hierarchy
    • Natural language descriptions focused on capabilities
    • A lightweight task-plan sanity review confirms the task graph is executable before tasks.md is written </background_information>

Step 1: Load Context

Read all necessary context:

  • .kiro/specs/$1/spec.json, requirements.md, design.md
  • .kiro/specs/$1/tasks.md (if exists, for merge mode)
  • Core steering context: product.md, tech.md, structure.md
  • Additional steering files only when directly relevant to requirements coverage, design boundaries, runtime prerequisites, or team conventions that affect task executability

Validate approvals:

  • If -y flag provided: Auto-approve requirements and design in spec.json. Tasks approval is also handled automatically in Step 4.
  • Otherwise: Verify both approved (stop if not, see Safety & Fallback)
  • Determine sequential mode based on presence of --sequential

Step 2: Generate Implementation Tasks

Load generation rules and template:

  • Read rules/tasks-generation.md from this skill's directory for principles
  • If sequential is false: Read rules/tasks-parallel-analysis.md from this skill's directory for parallel judgement criteria
  • Read .kiro/settings/templates/specs/tasks.md for format (supports (P) markers)
Parallel Research

The following research areas are independent and can be executed in parallel:

  1. Context loading: Spec documents (requirements.md, design.md), steering files
  2. Rules loading: tasks-generation.md, tasks-parallel-analysis.md, tasks template

If multi-agent is enabled, spawn sub-agents for each area above. Otherwise execute sequentially.

After all parallel research completes, synthesize findings before generating tasks.

Generate task list following all rules:

  • Use language specified in spec.json
  • Map all requirements to tasks
  • When documenting requirement coverage, list numeric requirement IDs only (comma-separated) without descriptive suffixes, parentheses, translations, or free-form labels
  • Ensure all design components included
  • Verify task progression is logical and incremental
  • Ensure each executable sub-task includes at least one detail bullet that states what "done" looks like in observable terms
  • Keep normal implementation tasks within a single responsibility boundary; if work crosses boundaries, make it an explicit integration task
  • Collapse single-subtask structures by promoting them to major tasks and avoid duplicating details on container-only major tasks (use template patterns accordingly)
  • Apply (P) markers to tasks that satisfy parallel criteria (omit markers when sequential mode requested)
  • Mark optional test coverage subtasks with - [ ]* only when they strictly cover acceptance criteria already satisfied by core implementation and can be deferred post-MVP
  • If existing tasks.md found, merge with new content

What ships with it

3 files 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.

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.
