td

td is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from espennilsen/pi. It costs 44 tokens per session (1,864 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A local command-line task manager for coding work, including issues, sessions, progress logs, handoffs, dependencies, and boards. A handoff is a written summary that lets another person or agent continue the work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start and prioritize issues, track progress, record decisions and blockers, manage dependencies, and prepare handoffs.
Why use it?
It keeps priorities, decisions, blockers, and unfinished work in one place. This reduces lost context when work moves between sessions or people.

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

td 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.

td — Task & Session Management

td is a local-first task management CLI optimized for AI-assisted development workflows. It tracks issues, sessions, structured handoffs, and progress logs.

Session Workflow

Every session follows this pattern:

  1. Start — Load context and begin a new session:

    td usage --new-session    # Full context dump (issues, logs, handoffs)
    td status                 # Quick dashboard: focus, reviews, blocked, ready
    
  2. Pick work — Find what to work on:

    td next                   # Highest-priority open issue
    td ready                  # All open issues sorted by priority
    td list --mine            # Issues assigned to current session
    
  3. Start an issue — Set focus and mark in-progress:

    td start <issue-id>       # Sets focus + status to in_progress
    
  4. Log progress — Track decisions, blockers, attempts:

    td log "Implemented auth middleware"              # Progress (default)
    td log --blocker "Waiting on API key from team"   # Blocker
    td log --decision "Using JWT over session tokens"  # Decision
    td log --tried "Attempted Redis caching"           # Attempted approach
    td log --result "Redis too complex, using in-memory" # Result
    td log --hypothesis "Rate limiting might fix 429s"   # Hypothesis
    
  5. Handoff — Capture structured state before ending session:

    td handoff <issue-id> \
      --done "Implemented login endpoint" \
      --done "Added JWT validation" \
      --remaining "Add refresh token flow" \
      --remaining "Write tests for auth middleware" \
      --decision "Using RS256 for JWT signing" \
      --uncertain "Should we support OAuth2 providers?"
    
  6. Submit for review — When work is complete:

    td review <issue-id>      # Submit for review (preferred)
    
  7. Review — Different session approves or rejects:

    td reviewable             # What can I review?
    td approve <issue-id>     # Ship it → closed
    td reject <issue-id> --reason "Need tests"  # Back to in_progress

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.
