task-management

task-management is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ericroliver/tinytask. It costs 21 tokens per session (4,085 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference for TinyTask, a task-management system that lets AI agents assign, track, and discuss work through a command line or connected service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when agents need to create or update tasks, divide work into subtasks, assign work to queues, communicate through comments, or link related work.
Why use it?
It gives agents a shared way to understand task records, queues, subtasks, comments, links, and status changes. This avoids inconsistent task handling between collaborating agents.

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-management 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 315 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agent names (e.g., tko-sword, tko-shield) are examples. Use actual names from your environment — defined in your AGENTS.md file. Replace placeholders like <your-agent>, <qa-agent>, <developer> with real names.

TinyTask Shared Skill

Overview

TinyTask is a task management system for LLM agent collaboration, exposed as an MCP server, HTTP API, and CLI. The tinytask CLI communicates with the server over HTTP. Role-specific workflows live in developer.md, tester.md, reviewer.md, and coordinator.md — this file is the CLI syntax and conventions reference.

Core Concepts

Concept Description
Task Fundamental unit of work — has title, description, status, assignee, queue, priority, tags, optional parent and blocked-by
Subtask Task with parent_task_id set — full task with own lifecycle; does not auto-change parent status
Queue Named collection of tasks — routing mechanism determining which agent picks up work
Comment Annotation attached to a task — primary inter-agent communication channel
Link Typed URL-based relationship between tasks or external resources (PRs, docs)
History Immutable log of every task change (status, queue, assignee, fields) with timestamp and agent

Task Fields

Field Type Required Description
id integer (auto) Yes Unique ID (sequential integer, e.g. 892)
title string Yes Short summary, <80 chars, action verb prefix
description string Yes What, why, acceptance criteria
status enum Yes idle | working | complete
assigned_to string No Agent responsible for the task
created_by string Yes Agent that created the task
priority enum No low | medium | high | urgent (default: medium)
tags JSON array No Lowercase, hyphenated labels
queue_name string No Queue the task belongs to
parent_task_id string No Parent task if subtask
blocked_by_task_id string No Task ID that blocks this task
created_at ISO 8601 Yes Creation timestamp
updated_at ISO 8601 Yes Last modification time
completed_at ISO 8601 No When marked complete (nullable)
archived_at ISO 8601 No When archived (nullable)

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.
