sync-tasks

A read-only workflow for comparing kotgent tasks with the repository's plans, code, tests, TODOs, and Git history. A repository is the project folder and its tracked history; kotgent is the task-tracking tool used by this workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Reconciling backlog items with current project state and producing suggested commands for follow-up work.
Why use it?
It reveals when the task list and the actual project have drifted apart, using evidence without changing tasks or files.

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

sync-tasks 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 yesterday.

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

Sync Tasks

Build an evidence-backed reconciliation report. Use the kotgent CLI for tracker reads and git plus ordinary file inspection for repository evidence. Do not use an MCP server, SDK, direct daemon request, or helper script.

Stay read-only

Do not run task add, task claim, task comment, task review, task done, task unlink, task move, task dep, task delete, project init, project delete, or project restore. Do not edit repository files. Suggested commands belong only in the report.

Treat successful task and project stdout as JSON and failure stderr as JSON. Exit 2 means this skill built an invalid command and stderr may be plain usage text; stop and report it exactly. Never retry a deleted-project error or restore/reinitialize a project.

Establish the project and task snapshot

  1. Require git and kotgent, resolve git rev-parse --show-toplevel, and read the root .kotgent.json. Stop if the file is missing or its id is not a UUID.
  2. Read both kotgent project list and, only if needed, kotgent project list --archived. Record whether the exact UUID is live or archived. An unknown UUID is an error. An archived project may still be read, but label it and do not propose an automatic restore.
  3. Run kotgent task list --project <project-uuid>. Select only rows whose state is exactly todo or in_progress.
  4. Run kotgent task show <ref> for every selected row. Use the full detail, including body, dependencies, linked sessions, and activity; do not reconcile from list titles alone.
  5. Record HEAD, branch or detached state, and git status --short so the report identifies its snapshot.

Inspect repository evidence in this order

  1. Read applicable AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md files first. Treat them as constraints, not backlog items.
  2. Find active plan and backlog files. Exclude completed, superseded, archived, or historical plans unless they explain a mismatch.
  3. Inspect the implementation and tests named by tasks or plans. Use exact symbols, paths, assertions, and observable behavior as evidence.
  4. Search tracked content for relevant TODO and FIXME markers. Do not promote every marker into a task; require a concrete match to intended repository work.
  5. Inspect relevant Git history with focused git log, git show, or git blame. Use commit IDs when history proves completion, replacement, or architectural change.
  6. Include relevant uncommitted and untracked work from git status; never treat a clean HEAD as the whole repository when the worktree contains evidence.

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.

sync-tasks is a skill published in the GitHub repository Heapy/kortex (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 1,094 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-31.
