task-planner

task-planner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Ckokoski/AuthorAgent. It costs 14 tokens per session (398 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that turns a complex goal into ordered, actionable steps with dependencies, priorities, and effort estimates. It defines what completion looks like before laying out the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan projects such as book launches, writing sprints, revision passes, or other work that needs milestones, a critical path, and clear deliverables.
Why use it?
It makes large tasks easier to start and shows which steps must happen first. It also separates essential work from items that can wait and highlights possible parallel work.

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-planner 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

Task Planner

Break complex tasks into actionable, ordered steps with effort estimates.

Workflow

Step 1: Understand the Goal

  • Identify the end state (what does "done" look like?)
  • Identify constraints (time, budget, skills, tools)
  • Identify deadlines or milestones

Step 2: Decompose

Break into specific, ordered steps that are:

  • Specific: Clear enough that someone could execute without asking follow-up questions
  • Ordered: Dependencies are explicit (Step 3 requires Step 2)
  • Estimable: Rough effort estimate for each (minutes, hours, days)
  • Achievable: Each step produces a tangible output

Step 3: Prioritize

Apply MoSCoW framework:

  • Must-have: Critical path items
  • Should-have: Important but not blocking
  • Nice-to-have: Can be deferred

Step 4: Present the Plan

Format as a numbered list with:

  • Step description
  • Estimated effort
  • Dependencies (if any)
  • Priority level

Flag the critical path and identify opportunities for parallel work.

Author-Specific Applications

  • Planning a book launch (pre-launch, launch week, post-launch)
  • Breaking a novel outline into manageable writing sprints
  • Planning a revision pass (structural, scene, line, proofread)
  • Setting up a marketing campaign (assets, schedule, platforms)
  • Organizing a series bible or world-building project
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.
