task-record-contract

task-record-contract is a skill for Claude Code from bartoszarendt/agenticloop. It costs 65 tokens per session (7,434 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for creating and maintaining a task record: a durable written description of one implementation task. It defines required sections, links to implementation results, and storage in files or GitHub issues when configured.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing, updating, or reviewing task records, recording required checks and implementation links, and safely projecting task information to GitHub when the project uses it.
Why use it?
It gives engineers enough information to complete the task without guessing and keeps the task’s scope, checks, and history consistent. It also prevents unfinished placeholders from being treated as a complete plan.

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

task-record-contract 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.

Task record contract

A task record is the durable contract for one implementation task. The engineer must be able to work from the task record without guessing.

If the current role is orchestrator, route task-record creation or refinement through [[role-delegation]] instead of writing the task record directly.

Task records are stored in the configured backend:

  • Files projection: one Markdown file at .agenticloop/tasks/<TASK-ID>.md. See agenticloop/backends/files.md.
  • GitHub projection: one GitHub issue per task when the project explicitly uses task_backend: github. See agenticloop/backends/github.md.

Event Logging

Event logging is optional and off by default. When enabled, follow [[event-logging]]: emit task.created for a new record and task.updated after material scope, criteria, check, or backend-linkage changes. Use the task id and a concise gate fact; never copy the task body or chat into the log.

Required sections

Use agenticloop/memory/task-record.md as the canonical task-record shape. It defines the ordered required sections and the optional Proof Pressure, Concurrency Plan, Parallel Safety, Grouping, Source Reference, Applicable Project Skills, and Outcome sections. New records also include the ## Verification Attempts section with the canonical empty state from [[verification-evidence]]. Historical records without that optional learning section remain readable.

The ## Outcome section is optional for routine clean tasks, maintainer-filled at closeout. It becomes conditionally required when any of these happened: review_rounds > 1, failed or triaged checks, blocked/needs_context state, scope drift, stale evidence, human intervention, predicted medium/high context overflow risk, context pressure encountered, or follow-ups. It never replaces acceptance criteria or proof pressure.

Proof pressure

Use optional ## Proof Pressure when long-running or ambiguous work could pass locally while missing the owner's outcome. Every field must be concrete:

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.
