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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00035 | $0.00391 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00156 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00078 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00039 |
Grade A, and why
task-gate 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 24d 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.
What it actually says
Task Gate
Turn an agent's completion criteria into an executable pipeline that certifies task correctness and generates structured failure diagnostics.
When to Use This Skill
- An AI coding agent has completed a code modification or refactoring and must verify that lint, build, types, and narrow tests all pass before declaring
Done When. - A multi-agent orchestrator or CI pipeline needs to run sequential checks with fail-fast semantics and capture the exact failure snippet for automated self-repair.
Path resolution
Resolve references/ and scripts/ relative to this skill's install directory (e.g. .agents/skills/task-gate/ or .claude/skills/task-gate/).
Workflow
- Read
references/gate-contract.mdfor configuration schema and diagnostic format. - Execute the task gate with ad-hoc stages or a configuration file:
# Ad-hoc stages
node scripts/task-gate.mjs --stage "lint:npm run lint" --stage "tests:npm test"
# Run with JSON output for automated agent ingestion
node scripts/task-gate.mjs --stage "types:npx tsc --noEmit" --stage "tests:npm test" --json
# Run with a declarative config
node scripts/task-gate.mjs --config gate.json
- If any stage fails:
- Ingest the
errorSnippetfrom stdout/stderr. - Self-repair the identified issue.
- Re-run the task gate until exit code is 0.
- Ingest the
Done When
scripts/task-gate.mjsexits with code 0.- All declared verification stages succeed.
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.

task-gate is a skill published in the GitHub repository ALTEN-group/coding-pal (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 391 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-24.
