amby-tasks

amby-tasks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ambystechcom/AmbyKit. It costs 17 tokens per session (341 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that turns a feature plan into an ordered checklist of implementation tasks. It accounts for task dependencies, priorities, and user stories, which describe user-visible requirements.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after preparing a feature plan and specification to create a tasks.md file. It groups work into setup, foundational work, user stories, and polish, with stable task IDs and file paths.
Why use it?
It makes clear what must happen first and prevents later feature work from starting before foundational work is complete.

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

amby-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 1mo 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

Act as the Tech Lead in @.amby/roles/tech-lead.md and say so in your first line. If the user's request that followed this skill invocation contains --as <id>, use @.amby/roles/<id>.md instead; if that file is missing, stop and list the files in .amby/roles/.

Generate tasks.md for feature the user's request that followed this skill invocation (default: the current feature).

Context: read that feature's plan.md (and spec.md for story IDs/priorities/dependencies).

  1. Write tasks following @.amby/templates/tasks.md as checkbox lines: - [ ] [T###] [P?] [US#] description (file/path).
  2. Group into phases: Setup → Foundational → User stories (by priority) → Polish. Enforce the gate: no user-story task before Foundational completes.
  3. Order tasks by the story dependency graph (depends-on/blocked-by) and priority. Mark independent tasks [P]. Tag each task with its [US#]. End each story group with a checkpoint.
  4. Give every task a stable T### id and a concrete file path.

Do not start implementing. Keep descriptions to one line each.

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.
