taskmaster-skill

A task-management system for organizing complex software projects. It uses a command-line tool to manage plans, dependencies, milestones, and development tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create and manage multi-phase plans, prioritize tasks, coordinate dependent work, and follow start, verification, and archive workflows.
Why use it?
It provides structure when work spans multiple phases or tasks depend on one another, so progress and priorities are easier to track.

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

taskmaster-skill 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (cli/logger.js, cli/task.js, task.bat, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

TaskMaster Skill

Agent-optimized task management system for AgentFabric.

Overview

A structured task management system for organizing, tracking, and executing multi-phase development plans through agent-optimized CLI workflows.

When to Use

  • Managing complex project plans with interdependent tasks
  • Tracking multi-phase task progress across milestones or sprints
  • Prioritizing development tasks based on dependencies and readiness
  • Coordinating sequential work that requires structured start, verify, and archive workflows

Do not use when:

  • Simple single-step tasks without dependencies
  • Informal tracking where a basic todo list is sufficient
  • Projects not requiring configured plan directories or CLI tooling

Setup

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 22+
  • Working directory: docs/plans/

Installation

Option 1: Direct Node.js (Agent Recommended)
cd docs/plans/taskmaster-skill/cli
npm install

Then use CLI via:

node cli/task.js <command>
Option 2: Shortcut Scripts (Install Dependencies Automatically)
cd docs/plans

# Windows
taskmaster-skill\task.bat <plan> <command>

# Linux/Mac
./taskmaster-skill/task.sh <plan> <command>

Quick Start

# View all plans
node cli/task.js plans

# Check progress
node cli/task.js progress mvp_v1

# List tasks
node cli/task.js list mvp_v1

# List ready-to-start tasks (dependencies completed)
node cli/task.js ready mvp_v1
node cli/task.js ready mvp_v1 --limit 20

Configuration (REQUIRED)

Before using TaskMaster, you MUST configure the plan mapping:

Step 1: Copy template
cp config.json.template config.json
Step 2: Edit config.json
{
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "plans": {
    "mvp_v1": {
      "path": "E:\\Agent\\agent-fabric\\docs\\plans\\mvp_v1",
      "description": "AgentFabric MVP v1 实施计划"
    }
  },
  "settings": {
    "defaultPlan": "mvp_v1",
    "autoCreatePlan": false,
    "logRetentionDays": 30
  }
}

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.
