task-plan

task-plan is a skill for Claude Code from hamzaPixl/pixl-ai. It costs 101 tokens per session (1,188 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning workflow that breaks a feature or project into ordered tasks, dependencies, acceptance criteria, and an execution strategy.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan features, projects, or requirement changes, and to update plans when requirements drift.
Why use it?
It turns broad requests into smaller pieces that can be implemented and checked in a sensible order.

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-plan 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.

Overview

This skill creates structured task plans for implementation work. Given a feature, project, or change request, it analyzes the scope, decomposes work into atomic tasks, adds acceptance criteria and dependency relationships, and outputs a complete execution plan.

Why vertical slices over horizontal layers: Vertical slices (each delivering user-visible value) provide faster feedback than horizontal layers (build all DB first, then all API, then all UI). If a vertical slice fails, you learn early; if a horizontal layer fails, you've built foundations for features that may never ship.

Required References

Before starting, read references/methodology/vertical-slice.md for vertical slice decomposition patterns.

Step 0: Input Parsing (conditional)

If the argument appears to be a file path (contains / or .md or .txt or .pdf):

  1. Read the file using the Read tool
  2. Extract requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria from the document
  3. Summarize the key features and scope before proceeding to Step 1

If the argument appears to be a URL:

  1. Fetch the URL content using WebFetch
  2. Extract requirements from the page content
  3. Summarize before proceeding

Otherwise, treat the argument as a direct feature description and proceed to Step 0.5 (if applicable) or Step 1.

Step 0.5: Drift-Aware Replanning (conditional)

If .context/spec/coverage-<latest>.json exists (produced by /spec-review):

  1. Load coverage report: Read the most recent coverage-*.json from .context/spec/
  2. Load existing task plan: Read .context/task-state.json if it exists
  3. Cross-reference: Match coverage results against existing tasks:
    • missing requirements with no corresponding task → new tasks needed
    • added drift entries (from drift-log.jsonl) → new tasks needed
    • removed drift entries → existing tasks may be irrelevant
    • reprioritized drift entries → existing tasks may need reordering
  4. Present adaptation summary to the user via AskUserQuestion:
    • New tasks to add (from missing/added requirements)
    • Tasks to remove or deprioritize (from removed requirements)
    • Tasks to reorder (from reprioritized requirements)
    • User confirms before changes are applied
  5. Merge into existing plan: Update .context/task-state.json with adaptations, then proceed to Step 1 for any new work

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.
