task-build

task-build is a skill for Claude Code from FrontisAI/NatureBench. It costs 45 tokens per session (3,337 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A builder that turns a suitable neuroscience research paper and its prepared data into a structured machine-learning benchmark package. The package includes the task description, scoring code, metadata, and a Docker-based environment.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after paper preprocessing, suitability filtering, and data checking to build the problem, evaluator, metadata, data layout, and Dockerfile.
Why use it?
It organizes the paper’s materials into a repeatable task that another solver can run and be scored against.

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-build 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 2mo 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.

Task Build Skill

Build a structured ML benchmark task package from a CNS paper that has completed the three preprocessing stages (paper-preprocess → paper-filter → data-check).

Input Requirements

Before invoking this skill, provide:

  1. Paper Folder Path: Directory containing the paper and all prior processing results
  2. Output Directory: Where to build the final task package (can be same as paper folder or a new location)

Paper folder must contain:

  • {paper_id}.pdf and {paper_id}.html: Original paper files
  • preprocessed/: paper-preprocess output (text.md, links.json, figures/, tables/)
  • filter_result.json: Combined output from paper-filter + data-check (must have final_result.data_check_passed == true)
  • data/: Acquired data organized per setting (data-check output)
  • repositories/: Cloned repositories (data-check output, reference only)

Paper folder may also contain:

  • data_verify_result.json (optional): Independent verification report from data-verify. When present, use algorithm_boundary.file_classifications as supplementary reference for file role judgment (e.g., distinguishing algorithm artifacts from initial state, identifying external resources/oracles). When it conflicts with filter_result.json, verify against actual repository code and data to determine the correct classification.

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.

task-build is a skill published in the GitHub repository FrontisAI/NatureBench (137 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 3,337 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
