Task Workflow

Task Workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lukacf/meerkat. It costs 14 tokens per session (323 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide to using built-in task lists for private, lightweight project tracking.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create, view, update, list, and complete local tasks. Use a shared work graph instead when several agents need durable coordination or evidence.
Why use it?
It helps record plans, checklists, progress, and simple dependencies without treating them as shared, authoritative work records.

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

Task Workflow 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.

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.

What it actually says

Task Workflow

Use builtin task tools for lightweight project work tracking. A configured store may persist them, but they remain scratch structure rather than the claim-safe shared WorkGraph authority.

Operating Rules

  • Use task_create for planning, checklists, or local project tasks that do not need realm-wide claims, evidence, or cross-agent readiness.
  • Use clear imperative subjects and descriptions with acceptance criteria.
  • Read an exact task with task_get, and use task_update to move it to in_progress when you start and completed only when it is actually done.
  • Use task_list after completing a task to find the next local item.
  • Keep dependencies simple. If blocking relationships must coordinate multiple agents or survive compaction/restarts as shared truth, use WorkGraph instead.

Boundary With WorkGraph

  • Builtin tasks: lightweight project task lists and simple progress tracking; no claims, leases, revisions, or evidence authority.
  • WorkGraph: realm-scoped durable commitments, readiness, dependency topology, authorized claims, leases, evidence, and terminal truth. Its ledger is the shared authority, not a peer message, prompt, actor, or task-list projection.
  • Schedule: time-based wakeups, recurrence, occurrence claims, and delivery outcomes. It does not decide WorkGraph readiness or completion.
  • Memory: recalled knowledge, not live task state.

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.
