work-task

A workflow skill for carrying a linked kotgent development task from active work to human review, including implementation, coordination, and verification.

In plain words
What is it for?
Continuing or completing an assigned repository task, coordinating concurrent work, running relevant checks, and moving the task to review.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for reading the task, making repository changes, checking the result, reporting progress, and submitting the work for 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

work-task 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 — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Work Task

Carry one linked task from in_progress to review. Use the kotgent CLI for tracker operations and git for repository state and history. Do not use an MCP server, SDK, direct daemon request, or helper script for kotgent.

Read the task and repository first

Use the live kotgent pane as identity by default. Never read KOTGENT_SESSION_ID as identity or copy it into --session. Outside a kotgent pane, require an exact session ID explicitly supplied by the invocation context or user. Never infer one from provider conversation IDs, environment variables, names, cwd, recency, or kotgent list. Keep one identity mode for the whole run.

Require git and kotgent, resolve the Git root, then run the pane form:

kotgent task show

Use kotgent task show --session <session-id> only in explicit outside-pane mode.

Keep task show, task comment, and task review ref-less throughout this linked-task workflow. In explicit mode --session names the caller while the CLI still resolves that session's current task.

Stop if the session is not linked. Require the returned task state to be in_progress; send todo work through take-task, and stop for review or done. Read the complete body, dependencies, activity, and linked sessions.

Read applicable repository instructions before editing, especially AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md, then any active plan or backlog referenced by the task. Capture git status --short, branch or detached state, full HEAD, and relevant diffs. Preserve pre-existing user changes and never sweep an untracked .kotgent.json into an unrelated commit.

Check kotgent project list; if the task's project is archived, report that fact and do not initialize, restore, switch, or retry. An already-linked task may still be completed through comment and review.

Coordinate before editing

Task links are non-exclusive. Treat another live, non-archived linked session, recent implementation activity from another session, or overlapping worktree changes as a coordination risk unless the user already established a division of work. Leave one evidence-rich coordination comment and stop for human direction rather than racing:

Files

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.

work-task is a skill published in the GitHub repository Heapy/kortex (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,029 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.
