quest-tracker

quest-tracker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hams-ollo/zen-agent-skills. It costs 142 tokens per session (4,906 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A shared project-tracking page for organising a long stretch of work into phases and smaller steps. It records reasons, completion checks, evidence, session notes, dependencies, and items waiting for a person.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start a tracker from a template, run work sessions against it, record progress, and show blocked work or checks that need a person.
Why use it?
It keeps the current state and supporting evidence in one place instead of relying on an agent's memory. It also prevents an agent from marking its own work complete without human review.

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

quest-tracker 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/tracker.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

quest-tracker

Run a season of work from one shared page. The page holds phases of steps, each step carrying what to do, why it matters, and what closes it, plus line ticks, facts written down on the way, a session log with screenshots, a quest chain, a burndown, and a People panel. Everything on it is drawn from one data block at the top of the page's script, and everything people do on it is saved in the page's own database, live, for everyone who can open it. At the top, a "Waiting on you" strip lists what needs a person: claims ready for a check, and stops the work has reached. Every tick says what it rests on: a command and its result, a claim without one, or a tick by hand.

The page is standalone: a published tracker needs nothing from this kit to run. This skill is what writes one, works against one, and lets agent sessions report into one without ever marking their own work done.

This skill is a draft. install.py places it under no profile until it has been used on real work and blessed, per the contribution bar in the target repository's AGENTS.md. The tracker pattern ran a whole client launch in October 2026 before it was a skill; claim-and-verify, the waiting strip, and the evidence marks have not yet run on real work.

When to use

  • A project or a season of work is starting and the person wants a tracker for it.
  • A work session is starting or ending on a project that has a tracker, and the session should read what is next and record what it found.
  • An agent or a child session has finished a step and should report it into the tracker.
  • The person asks what is left, what is blocked, or what waits for them.

When not to use

  • The host cannot publish a page with a shared database. See the decline path in step 0. Do not stand up a server, a database, or a file-based imitation instead.
  • The question is about a repository's own task files. That is sitrep, which reads them.
  • The work is already tracked in .tasks/ and the person has not asked for a tracker. A tracker is a working surface shared with people; it does not replace a backlog.

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.
