task-prompts

task-prompts is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fmind/dot. It costs 14 tokens per session (514 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A prompt-writing guide for coding-agent tasks and handoffs. It creates instructions that another agent can follow without access to the earlier conversation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to prepare a new task or continue unfinished work, including recording the current Git state, completed checks, remaining work, and saved prompt file.
Why use it?
It prevents important context, decisions, file paths, tests, and acceptance conditions from being lost between sessions.

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-prompts 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 7d 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.

What it actually says

Task and Continuation Prompts

Prepare instructions the receiving agent can use without this conversation. system-prompts owns prompts embedded in applications; native resume or compaction is preferable when it already preserves the needed state.

Workflow

  1. Choose the mode: fresh task, or continuation of work already underway; resolve the requested outcome, latest corrections, scope, and acceptance criteria.
  2. Record continuation state: check git status --short --branch, record completed proof, the exact stopping point, outstanding work, failed approaches, and reasons for material decisions. Before /clear or a harness switch, use handoff, which also copies the result to the clipboard.
  3. Draft from prompt-template.md; omit empty sections and add ordered slices only when execution needs them.
  4. Write and check: resolve the root with git rev-parse --show-toplevel; save .agents/prompts/<file>.md, defaulting to <YYYY-MM-DD>-<slug>.md, or ~/.agents/prompts/ outside a repository. Verify the receiver can act without hidden context, then report the path.

Gotchas

  • Authority travels with the task: distinguish authorized actions from proposed work; writing the prompt does not grant additional permission.
  • Keep history useful, not copied: preserve failures and proof gaps; cite code paths and lines instead of copying source or the shared persona.
  • Keep the prompt inbox untracked: keep .agents/prompts/ gitignored unless the user wants it tracked; keep a small continuation short.

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.
