tasklist

tasklist is a skill for Claude Code from AlpacaLabsLLC/skills-for-architects. It costs 78 tokens per session (2,698 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A lightweight task list stored in a TASKS.md file in the current folder, so tasks remain available across sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add tasks, mark them complete, or show open and completed items.
Why use it?
It provides a simple place to add, finish, and review tasks without relying on a separate task-management service.

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

tasklist 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 6d 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 — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/as:tasklist — Canonical Project or Studio Task Register

Harness note: use /as:<skill> on Claude Code and $<skill> on Codex. Resolve <skill-root> as the directory containing this loaded SKILL.md and <plugin-root> as the plugin root that contains skills/, and use equivalent native tools when host tool names differ.

Own exactly one resolved TASKS.md: either a project's register or an opted-in studio portfolio register. Give every action a permanent identity, explicit lifecycle, and traceable source. This skill manages actions; /as:workplan may define future work, but it is neither required nor invoked implicitly.

Usage

/as:tasklist list
/as:tasklist add Coordinate reflected ceiling plan with electrical — owner: Sam — due: 2026-08-03
/as:tasklist update T0012 owner: Priya due: 2026-08-07
/as:tasklist complete T0012
/as:tasklist cancel T0014 reason: superseded by T0018
/as:tasklist import meetings/YYYY-MM-DD-owner-review.md#A3

Hard rules

  1. One canonical register. Read and write only the register returned by canonical context resolution. Project mode uses the selected project's TASKS.md; portfolio task mode uses the studio-root TASKS.md. They are never simultaneously writable for the same studio.
  2. Permanent identity. IDs use T0001, T0002, and so on. Never delete, reuse, or renumber an ID. Allocate max(all parseable IDs) + 1, including completed and cancelled rows; gaps stay gaps.
  3. Preserve history. Updating or closing a task keeps its ID, source, created date, and earlier lifecycle events. Append a dated history entry; do not erase the prior state.
  4. No silent promotion. A plan unit, meeting action, site follow-up, or decision consequence remains a proposal until the user selects it for import. Preview candidates before mutation.
  5. Provenance is exact. In project mode, file sources are project-relative. In portfolio mode, store a studio-relative link beginning with the selected registered project path so the link resolves from the studio register. Every source includes a stable heading/item ID, or uses the canonical direct-instruction token conversation:YYYY-MM-DD#instruction-N. Never invent a file or persist an absolute machine path.
  6. No silent duplicates. Normalize a source within the selected project, then compare Project ID (in portfolio mode), normalized source path, and exact source item together. For conversation instructions, compare Project ID when applicable plus the complete canonical token. That normalized provenance key is the deduplication key. If it already exists, show link, update, or new and wait for the user's choice.
  7. Malformed means blocked, not empty. Preserve a malformed register byte-for-byte. Report the path and parse problem, and block every mutation until the user authorizes repair. Listing may report parseable content and the failure, but must not claim completeness.
  8. Harness neutral. Cross-skill invocation, agents, git history, structured question tools, and /as:workplan are optional conveniences, never runtime requirements.

Files

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.

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.
