td-task-management

A command-line task tracker for coding agents. It records active work, progress, decisions, reviews, open issues, and handoffs between sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start work on an issue, log progress and decisions, submit reviews, and hand off unfinished tasks.
Why use it?
It prevents important context from being lost when a session ends or the work continues in a new context window. The next session can see what happened and what remains.

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

td-task-management 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 3d 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.

td - Task Management for AI Agents

Overview

td is a minimalist CLI for tracking tasks and maintaining agent memory across context windows. When your AI session ends, td captures what was done, what remains, and what decisions were made—so the next session picks up exactly where the last one left off.

Core capability: Run td usage and get everything needed for the next action—current focus, pending reviews, open issues, recent decisions.

Quick Start

Starting a New Agent Context

td usage --new-session -q  # Auto-rotate and show compact current state

Use td usage without -q when workflow guidance would be useful. Status output includes:

  • Active work sessions and recent decisions
  • What issues are pending review (you can review these)
  • Highest priority open issues
  • Recent handoffs from previous sessions

Single-Issue Workflow

For focused work on one issue:

td start <issue-id>                    # Begin work
td log "OAuth callback implemented"    # Track progress
td log --decision "Using JWT tokens"   # Log decisions
td handoff <id> --done "..." --remaining "..."  # Capture state
td review <id>                         # Submit for review

Multi-Issue Workflow

For agents handling related issues:

td ws start "Auth implementation"      # Start work session
td ws tag td-a1b2 td-c3d4             # Associate issues (auto-starts them)
td ws tag --no-start td-e5f6          # Associate without starting
td ws log "Shared token storage"       # Log to all tagged issues
td ws handoff                          # Capture state, end session

Key Workflows

Workflow 1: Starting New Work

# 1. Check what to work on
td usage          # See current state
td next           # Highest priority open issue
td critical-path  # What unblocks most work

# 2. Start work
td start <id>

# 3. Begin logging
td log "Started implementation"

Workflow 2: Handing Off Work

Use a structured handoff when work will continue in another context:

What ships with it

2 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.

td-task-management is a skill published in the GitHub repository marcus/td (244 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 1,990 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
