Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00040 | $0.00803 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00402 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00161 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00080 |
Grade A, and why
tsk-help 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.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 118 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
tsk
tsk delegates development tasks to AI agents (Claude Code, Codex) running in isolated Docker/Podman containers. Agents work autonomously and produce git branches for review.
Core Commands
Run a task immediately
tsk run --type feat --name add-auth --prompt "Add JWT authentication to the API"
Key flags:
--type(-t): Task template (feat, fix, doc, refactor, or custom templates)--name(-n): Human-readable name used in the git branch--prompt(-p): Task prompt (replaces{{PROMPT}}in templates)--agent: Agent to use (claude, codex). Default: claude--edit: Open the full prompt in your editor before sending
Interactive sandbox
tsk shell
Drops you into a container with your repo copy and agent installed. Work interactively, then exit to save changes as a branch.
Queue tasks for background execution
# Start the server with parallel workers
tsk server start --workers 4
# Queue tasks
tsk add -t feat -n user-api -p "Add REST API for user management"
tsk add -t fix -n login-bug -p "Fix session timeout on login page"
# Check status
tsk list
Chain tasks
Child tasks start from where the parent left off:
tsk add -t feat -n add-api -p "Add users API endpoint"
tsk list # get the task ID
tsk add -t feat -n add-tests -p "Add tests for users API" --parent <taskid>
Other commands
This is the output of tsk help
!tsk help
How it works
tskcopies your repository into an isolated directory (includes uncommitted changes by default, or use--branchto start from a specific branch's committed state)- A Docker/Podman container is started with your language stack and agent installed
- Network access is restricted to approved API domains via a Squid proxy
- The agent executes the task autonomously
- Changes are fetched back as a new branch:
tsk/{type}/{name}/{id}
Multi-agent execution
Run the same task with multiple agents to compare results:
tsk add -t feat -n greeting --agent codex,claude -p "Add a greeting feature"
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.

tsk-help is a skill published in the GitHub repository dtormoen/tsk-tsk (170 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 40 tokens to every session and 803 once invoked, about $0.0002 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.
