tasks

tasks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from akka/ai-marketplace. It costs 20 tokens per session (1,655 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of smith-tasks, Apache-2.0.

A guide for turning a feature plan and design documents into a tasks.md file: a list of implementation tasks arranged in dependency order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break a planned feature into actionable tasks based on its requirements, technical plan, data model, interfaces, research, and test scenarios.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of missing work or starting tasks before the code and decisions they depend on are ready.

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 10d 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

88% identical to smith-tasks — 68 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 136 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

User Input

You MUST consider the user input before proceeding (if not empty).

Outline

  1. Setup: Call the akka_sdd_list_specs MCP tool to find features and their available documents. From the response, identify the target feature's FEATURE_DIR and which artifacts exist (AVAILABLE_DOCS: spec.md, plan.md, tasks.md, etc.). If no features exist, instruct the user to run /akka:specify first.

  2. Load design documents: Read from FEATURE_DIR:

    • Required: plan.md (tech stack, libraries, structure), spec.md (user stories with priorities)
    • Optional: data-model.md (entities), contracts/ (interface contracts), research.md (decisions), quickstart.md (test scenarios)
    • Note: Not all projects have all documents. Generate tasks based on what's available.
  3. Execute task generation workflow:

    • Load plan.md and extract tech stack, libraries, project structure
    • Load spec.md and extract user stories with their priorities (P1, P2, P3, etc.)
    • If data-model.md exists: Extract entities and map to user stories
    • If contracts/ exists: Map interface contracts to user stories
    • If research.md exists: Extract decisions for setup tasks
    • Generate tasks organized by user story (see Task Generation Rules below)
    • Generate dependency graph showing user story completion order
    • Create parallel execution examples per user story
    • Validate task completeness (each user story has all needed tasks, independently testable)
  4. Generate tasks.md: Use akka_sdd_get_template as structure, fill with:

    • Correct feature name from plan.md
    • Phase 1: Setup tasks (project initialization)
    • Phase 2: Foundational tasks (blocking prerequisites for all user stories)
    • Phase 3+: One phase per user story (in priority order from spec.md)
    • Each phase includes: story goal, independent test criteria, tests (if requested), implementation tasks
    • Final Phase: Polish & cross-cutting concerns
    • All tasks must follow the strict checklist format (see Task Generation Rules below)
    • Clear file paths for each task
    • Dependencies section showing story completion order
    • Parallel execution examples per story
    • Implementation strategy section (MVP first, incremental delivery)

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 akka/ai-marketplace (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,655 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to smith-tasks, differing in 68 lines, and is treated as a copy.
