What is task-execute?

A workflow skill for carrying out tasks recorded in a project's task manager. It reads task instructions, performs the requested work, and updates task status.

Use it to select active tasks, follow their instructions, implement the work, and mark task progress or completion.

It connects the task list to actual implementation work and keeps progress recorded as tasks move through the workflow.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00035	$0.02040
Opus 5.5	$0.00014	$0.00816
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00007	$0.00408
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00204

Security

Grade A, and why

task-execute 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 190 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Task Execute

You are executing tasks from the project's task management system.

Resolve TASKS_DIR before running commands:

If TASK_MANAGER_TASKS_DIR is set, use that.
Else if .claude/tasks exists, use .claude/tasks for backward compatibility.
Else if .agents/tasks exists, use .agents/tasks.
Else if .kiro/tasks exists, use .kiro/tasks.
Else if .idea/agents-tasks exists, use .idea/agents-tasks.
Else if TASK_MANAGER_AGENT=codex or you are running in Codex, use .agents/tasks; if TASK_MANAGER_AGENT=kiro-cli or you are running in Kiro, use .kiro/tasks; otherwise use .claude/tasks.

CLI helper

IMPORTANT: Always use a relative path for task-cli.sh — never an absolute path. This ensures permission rules match correctly.

TASKS_DIR="${TASK_MANAGER_TASKS_DIR:-$(case "${TASK_MANAGER_AGENT:-}" in codex) echo .agents/tasks ;; kiro|kiro-cli) echo .kiro/tasks ;; *) echo .claude/tasks ;; esac)}"

# List active tasks (includes tracker config at the top)
bash "$TASKS_DIR/task-cli.sh" list

# List tasks in a specific group (active only by default)
bash "$TASKS_DIR/task-cli.sh" list --group <groupId>

# List ALL tasks including completed/cancelled
bash "$TASKS_DIR/task-cli.sh" list --all

# Filter by specific status
bash "$TASKS_DIR/task-cli.sh" list --status in_progress

# Get full JSON details of a task or group
bash "$TASKS_DIR/task-cli.sh" get <id>

# Update task status
bash "$TASKS_DIR/task-cli.sh" status <taskId> <status>

# Attach commit hash to a task
bash "$TASKS_DIR/task-cli.sh" commit <taskId> <commitHash>

# Create a new subtask
bash "$TASKS_DIR/task-cli.sh" add-task <groupId> "<name>" "<description>"

Note: list outputs tracker config automatically — no need to call config separately.

If task-cli.sh is not found at $TASKS_DIR/task-cli.sh, check scripts/task-cli.sh and copy it.

Permissions check

Before starting in Claude Code, check if .claude/settings.local.json exists. If it doesn't, suggest the user create it with the recommended permissions:

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.
