common-task-complexity-routing

common-task-complexity-routing is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. It costs 68 tokens per session (1,414 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A scoring method for estimating coding-task difficulty from how widely a change spreads, how new its behaviour is, and how central the code is. The score selects an autonomy level, verification depth, review style, and approval requirement.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before planning a fix or feature, choosing a fast or deep review, or deciding whether approval is required.
Why use it?
A ticket label alone does not show how risky or difficult a change is. This method gives the team a consistent way to choose the amount of planning, testing, and review needed.

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

common-task-complexity-routing 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 today.

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

Task Complexity Routing (SNC)

Priority: P1 (HIGH)

Same ticket label, different engineering difficulty. Score the task, not the label, then route by tier.

Score

Dimension 0 1 2
Spread (how far the change reaches) one file, one module several files, one module cross-module or cross-service
Novelty (new vs existing behavior) small edit or removal of existing behavior modify existing logic new behavior or rewrite
Centrality (how core the touched code is) peripheral code shared but non-core core domain, hot path, auth, money, trust boundary

Sum the three, never average. Output line: SNC: S=[0-2] N=[0-2] C=[0-2] total=[n] tier=[low|medium|high].

Tiers

  • tier=low: total 0-2
  • tier=medium: total 3-4
  • tier=high: total 5-6

Routing

Tier Autonomy Verification Review Approval model_tier
tier=low autonomous basic: focused tests + lint fast code-review none required fast
tier=medium guided TDD + self-review deep code-review plan reviewed, no HARD STOP standard
tier=high plan-first TDD + independent reviewers (specialist-architecture-guard, specialist-security-reviewer when relevant) deep code-review HARD STOP before code, human approval before merge strong

fast | standard | strong is a capability hint only. Each host maps it to its model ladder and binds the named review roles to its own invocation mechanism; the hint is not authorization: premium spend, account selection and execution mode remain host/human decisions.

Capability and Effort

Capability and thinking effort are independent dimensions. Recommend the least expensive eligible configuration adequate for the task and its verification burden; never simply the cheapest model. The host resolves eligibility, approved profiles, supported effort and authorized fallback.

  • Deterministic operation uses an existing tool, script or CLI before any LLM call; bounded implementation uses tier-appropriate capability with focused tests.
  • Ambiguous investigation: wider effort, because premature narrowing costs more than the extra reasoning.
  • Consequential review: capable model plus an independent reviewer; a small diff never lowers a sensitivity floor.

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.

common-task-complexity-routing is a skill published in the GitHub repository HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard (582 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 1,414 once invoked, about $0.0003 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 2026-09-14.
