adopt-project-scope

adopt-project-scope is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jpicklyk/task-orchestrator. It costs 99 tokens per session (3,547 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A migration procedure for moving an existing Task Orchestrator database under one project root. A project root is a top-level container for a workspace's work trees.

In plain words
What is it for?
Adopting project scope, re-parenting existing work, updating configuration, and identifying test artifacts that may need cleanup.
Why use it?
It changes an unstructured database into the project's expected layout while previewing changes before anything is moved.

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

adopt-project-scope 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 5d ago.

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

Adopt Project Scope — In-Place Migration to Project Scoping

Take an existing, unscoped database (many depth-0 roots, no project anchor) and migrate it in place to the project-scoping convention: one type=project root that owns the workspace's work trees, with its UUID written back to .taskorchestrator/config.yaml under a project: block. Global containers (retrospectives, observations) stay at depth 0; test artifacts are flagged for cleanup, never moved or deleted.

This is a destructive-by-execution skill: the EXECUTE step re-parents real items. It defaults to a dry run and never mutates anything without an explicit confirmation. The only thing it ever deletes is its own throwaway server-probe tree.

Non-goals: cross-DB consolidation (merging items from a second database); merging multiple existing project anchors into one; any server-side enforcement of scope. This skill adopts a single workspace's single database.


Step 0 — Parse Arguments

  • Project name — the first non-flag token(s) in $ARGUMENTS. If absent, do not guess; ask for it in Step 3 (the dry-run plan) via AskUserQuestion before any mutation.
  • --dry-run — if present, the skill stops after Step 3 (the plan) and performs zero mutations regardless of confirmation. The dry run is ALSO always rendered before execution even without the flag; the flag only forces an early exit.

Step 1 — Preflight (abort gates)

Run these checks in order. Each abort prints a clear, user-facing reason and stops.

1a — Already adopted?

Read .taskorchestrator/config.yaml. If it contains a project: block with a non-empty rootId:, the workspace is already scoped:

◆ Workspace already adopted — config.yaml already points at project root <rootId>.
  Nothing to do. Use /work-summary to inspect the existing project tree.

Stop. (If the file is missing entirely, that is fine — a fresh unscoped DB has no config project: block. Continue.)

1b — Existing anchor already in the DB?

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.
