What is autospec-tasks?

A task-planning skill that turns an implementation plan into a YAML task breakdown. YAML is a structured text format commonly used for configuration and project data.

Use it to read feature and implementation documents from a specs directory and produce structured tasks for carrying out the planned work.

It gives coding work a concrete list of tasks based on the project's specifications, technical decisions, data model, and API contracts.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00013	$0.02320
Opus 5	$0.00006	$0.01160
Sonnet 5	$0.00003	$0.00464
Haiku 4.5	$0.00001	$0.00232

Security

Grade A, and why

autospec-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 11d 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.

autospec-tasks

This Agent Skill is generated from autospec.tasks. When the user invokes "$autospec-tasks" or "/autospec.tasks", load and follow these instructions directly. Treat the text after the skill or command name as "$ARGUMENTS". Do not route back through "autospec tasks"; this skill is the prompt for the stage.

Project specs directory: ./specs

User Input

$ARGUMENTS

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

Pre-computed Context

The following paths have been pre-computed and are available for use:

FEATURE_DIR: {{.FeatureDir}}
FEATURE_SPEC: {{.FeatureSpec}}
IMPL_PLAN: {{.ImplPlan}}
AUTOSPEC_VERSION: {{.AutospecVersion}}
CREATED_DATE: {{.CreatedDate}}

Outline

Load design documents: Read from the feature directory:
- Required: {{.ImplPlan}} (plan.yaml) containing:
  - technical_context: tech stack, libraries, constraints
  - data_model: entities and relationships
  - api_contracts: API endpoints and schemas
  - research_findings: technical decisions
  - project_structure: file organization
- Required: {{.FeatureSpec}} (spec.yaml) containing:
  - user_stories: with priorities (P1, P2, P3)
  - requirements: functional and non-functional
  - key_entities: initial entity identification
Execute task generation workflow:
- Extract tech stack, libraries, project structure from plan.yaml technical_context
- Extract user stories with their priorities from spec.yaml user_stories
- Extract entities from plan.yaml data_model and map to user stories
- Map endpoints from plan.yaml api_contracts to user stories
- Extract decisions from plan.yaml research_findings 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 opportunities per phase
- Validate task completeness (each user story has all needed tasks)

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.

autospec-tasks is a skill published in the GitHub repository ariel-frischer/autospec (141 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 2,320 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
