create-tasks

create-tasks is a skill for Claude Code from JotJunior/cstk. It costs 58 tokens per session (6,253 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-backlog generator that turns a project scope, specification, or feature list into technical tasks grouped by phases, dependencies, and importance. A backlog is a prioritized list of work to complete.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating task documents from specifications or standalone requirements, then linking the backlog to planning, analysis, execution, and review steps.
Why use it?
It breaks a large or vague piece of work into smaller units that can be planned, checked, and executed in order.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
  • medium Agent Snooping · line 63
    Skill enumerates or reads other installed skills. Access to other skills' SKILL.md files or the skills directory reveals prompt instructions, capabilities, and secrets that should be invisible to peer skills.
    Fix: Remove all code or instructions that list or read other skills' files or directories. Skills should operate independently; cross-skill access is a privilege escalation.

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

create-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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/next-task-id.sh, scripts/validate-tasks-template.sh), 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.

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.

Skill: Criar Backlog de Tarefas

Crie um documento de backlog de tarefas tecnicas seguindo o padrao estruturado abaixo.

Pre-requisitos

Recomendado (fluxo SDD): plan.md e spec.md ja existentes em docs/specs/{feature}/. Com eles, o backlog se liga a fases tecnicas claras.

Alternativa standalone: descricao textual do escopo ou lista de features. Neste caso, salva em docs/tasks-{nome-escopo}.md.

Proximos passos

  1. /analyze — validar consistencia entre spec, plan e tasks
  2. /execute-task {id} — comecar execucao pela primeira tarefa critica
  3. /review-task — acompanhar progresso conforme tarefas sao concluidas

Argumentos

$ARGUMENTS

Instrucoes

Analise o argumento fornecido. Ele pode ser:

  1. Descricao do escopo: Uma descricao textual do que o MVP/projeto deve cobrir
  2. Documento de referencia: Um arquivo existente com requisitos, casos de uso ou especificacoes
  3. Lista de funcionalidades: Lista de features/modulos a serem organizados em tarefas

Deteccao de Origem (Spec vs Standalone)

ANTES de iniciar, determine se o argumento se origina de uma especificacao:

  1. Verifique se o argumento referencia um arquivo em docs/specs/ (ex: docs/specs/foo/spec.md)
  2. Verifique se o argumento menciona o nome de uma spec existente — liste docs/specs/*/spec.md com Glob
  3. Se o contexto da conversa indica que uma spec foi criada/usada recentemente, considere-a como origem

Se originado de uma spec (docs/specs/{spec-name}/spec.md):

  • Salvar em: docs/specs/{spec-name}/tasks.md
  • Usar o conteudo da spec como documento de referencia principal

Se chamado de forma isolada (sem spec associada):

  • Manter o comportamento padrao: docs/tasks-{nome-escopo}.md

Deteccao de reabertura (feature-00c --reopen) — continuidade de backlog

Aplicavel somente quando o state da execucao corrente tem .previous_round preenchido (contexto de reabertura via /feature-00c --reopen — mesma deteccao usada por plugins/cstk/skills/specify/SKILL.md §0.0/0.5) e o tasks.md-alvo (docs/specs/{spec-name}/tasks.md) ja existe (preservado/restaurado de round anterior, com fases/checkboxes concluidos). Fora desses dois criterios simultaneos, ignore esta secao e siga o fluxo normal (feature-reopen FR-015, Decision 11 de research.md: mesmo padrao ja praticado pela skill converge sobre tasks.md existente).

Files

What ships with it

5 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.
