task-management

A task tracker that keeps work in a shared TASKS.md file, with sections for active work, pending information, recurring month-end tasks, and completed items.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list tasks, add reminders, complete work, track items awaiting others, and organize recurring finance-operations activities.
Why use it?
It keeps commitments and close activities in one editable place, making overdue work, blockers, and upcoming journal-entry deadlines easier to see.

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 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 — 109 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Task Management

Tasks are tracked in a TASKS.md file that both you and the user can edit.

File Location

Always use TASKS.md in the current working directory.

  • If it exists, read/write to it
  • If it doesn't exist, create it with the template below

Format & Template

When creating a new TASKS.md, use this template:

# Tasks

## Active
<!-- Current tasks requiring action -->

## Journal Entries Due
<!-- JE prep, review, and posting tasks - ties to journal-entry-prep skill -->

## Waiting On
<!-- Blocked items: approvals, info from others -->

## Recurring - Month-End
<!-- Standard close tasks that repeat each period -->

## Someday

## Done

Task format:

  • - [ ] **Task title** - context, for whom, due date
  • Sub-bullets for additional details
  • Completed: - [x] ~~Task~~ (date)

How to Interact

When user asks "what's on my plate" / "my tasks":

  • Read TASKS.md
  • Summarize Active, Journal Entries Due, and Waiting On sections
  • Highlight anything overdue or urgent
  • Flag journal entries approaching close deadline

When user says "add a task" / "remind me to":

  • Add to Active section with - [ ] **Task** format
  • If the task is a journal entry, add to Journal Entries Due section instead
  • Include context if provided (who it's for, due date, period)

When user says "done with X" / "finished X":

  • Find the task
  • Change [ ] to [x]
  • Add strikethrough: ~~task~~
  • Add completion date
  • Move to Done section

When user asks "what am I waiting on":

  • Read the Waiting On section
  • Note how long each item has been waiting

When user says "close checklist" or "month-end status":

  • Show all tasks in Journal Entries Due and Recurring - Month-End
  • Summarize: how many done vs remaining
  • List any blocked items from Waiting On that affect close

Journal Entry Integration

When the user works on journal entries using the journal-entry-prep skill, offer to:

  1. Track the JE as a task - Add to Journal Entries Due with entry type, amount, and period
  2. Track approvals - If the entry exceeds a threshold (e.g., >$250K needs CFO approval), add a Waiting On item for the approval
  3. Mark complete when posted - Move to Done with the posting date

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
