taskfile-setup is a skill for Claude Code from joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins. It costs 110 tokens per session (1,196 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup tool for Taskfile, a command-runner configuration used to define repeatable project tasks. It detects common project technologies and creates or checks Taskfile.yml files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install Taskfile, scaffold a new configuration, audit an existing one, detect project ecosystems, and identify missing descriptions, prerequisites, inputs, or outputs.
Why use it?
It helps teams organize build, test, deployment, and other commands without manually designing the configuration from scratch.

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

taskfile-setup scanned grade A with 2 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/detect_taskfile.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.

Sends data to an external URLlowData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

- **Linux**: `sh -c "$(curl --location https://taskfile.dev/install.sh)" -- -d -b ~/.local/bin`

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Taskfile Setup

Install Taskfile and scaffold or audit Taskfile.yml configurations with ecosystem-aware templates.

Pre-flight

Run the detection script to understand current state:

python3 ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/detect_taskfile.py <project-root>

Decision Flow

Run detector
    |
    ├── task_binary.installed = false → Install Task first
    |
    ├── taskfile.exists = true → Phase 1: Audit
    |
    └── taskfile.exists = false → Phase 2: Scaffold

Phase 1: Audit (Existing Taskfile)

  1. Summarize findings — show a status table:

    Component Status Detail
    task binary installed/missing version, path
    Taskfile found/not found path, variant
    Tasks N tasks count, has includes
    Ecosystems N detected list
    dotenv configured/missing .env files found
  2. Present audit violations grouped by severity (ERROR > WARNING > INFO):

    • Show rule ID, message, task name, line number, fix hint
    • Violations include: missing version, no preconditions on deploy tasks, no sources/generates on build tasks, missing desc, too many tasks in single file, no dotenv, hard-coded paths
  3. Use AskUserQuestion (multiSelect: true) — ask which violations to fix

  4. Apply selected fixes — see WORKFLOW.md for per-rule fix strategies

  5. Re-run detector to verify fixes were applied

Phase 2: Scaffold (No Taskfile)

  1. Install task if missing — show commands based on os field:

    • macOS: brew install go-task
    • Linux: sh -c "$(curl --location https://taskfile.dev/install.sh)" -- -d -b ~/.local/bin
    • Verify: task --version
  2. Review detected ecosystems — show what was found

  3. Choose Taskfile pattern — use AskUserQuestion:

    • Single-file (flat namespace with : separators) — recommended for < 15 tasks
    • Multi-file (root + taskfiles/ with includes) — recommended for 15+ tasks or monorepos

What ships with it

4 files 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.

taskfile-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins (21 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 110 tokens to every session and 1,196 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 2 findings (sends data to an external url, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
