dev-tasks

A tracker for Ralphy's development notes, with separate folders for ideas, issues, and decisions. It also checks new notes against existing ones to find overlaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to capture an idea or decision, check for collisions with existing notes, and manage Ralphy's own development inbox.
Why use it?
It gives development thoughts a consistent place and reduces duplicate or misplaced notes. It is separate from project workspaces and media production.

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

dev-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.

dev-tasks — the capture-inbox manager for Ralphy dev work

This is a maintainer skill. It does not touch .ralphy/workspaces/<ws>/projects/ or call media models. It curates the notes/ capture inbox that tracks Ralphy's own development. notes/ is the only tracker — there is no separate roadmap board.

  • Inboxnotes/ideas/, notes/issues/, notes/decisions/. Free-form, monotonic-numbered (NNN-slug.md). The landing zone for any dev thought.
  • notes/issues/ is the live backlog, status-by-folder: flat top level = active, done/ = resolved/landed, deprecated/ = superseded/won't-do.

The contract lives in notes/README.md. Read it before your first capture or move in a session — this skill is the operator, that file is the law.

Division of labor with dev-issues / dev-loop

  • This skill (dev-tasks) owns ideas/ + decisions/ capture and the cross-inbox collision check.
  • dev-issues owns the notes/issues/ backlog: decomposing a brain-dump into well-shaped issue files, shaping them, filing/updating them. Read .agents/skills/dev-issues/SKILL.md before doing any non-trivial issue work — don't duplicate its job here.
  • dev-loop owns issue execution (pick → implement → move to done/).

When a captured idea matures into something actionable, promote it into a notes/issues/ item (per notes/README.md) and hand the shaping/execution to dev-issues / dev-loop.

Trigger

Hard triggers (always act):

  • User types /dev-tasks.
  • "log this / file this / capture this" + an idea, bug, or design thought about Ralphy itself.
  • "record this decision" / "promote this note".
  • "what's in the inbox" / "what's open".
  • "is there already a note/idea for X" → run the collision check and report.

ALSO FIRE (proactively, offer — don't auto-execute)

  • The user surfaces a design idea mid-dev-session and moves on without filing it → offer to capture it before it's lost.
  • A note in notes/ideas/ has clearly matured (concrete acceptance criteria, no open questions) → offer to promote it into a notes/issues/ item.

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.
