skill-task-model

skill-task-model is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MatrixFounder/Agentic-development. It costs 16 tokens per session (429 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A standard for writing technical specifications and use cases with clear actors, conditions, steps, alternatives, and pass-or-fail acceptance criteria.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to structure feature specifications, describe normal and alternative scenarios, identify dependencies, and define requirements that can be checked objectively.
Why use it?
It prevents important edge cases and definitions from being left for the coding stage, where requirements can be misunderstood.

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

skill-task-model 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 8d 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 Model & Examples

Purpose: Defines the structure and quality standards for Technical Specifications to ensure unambiguous implementation.

1. Red Flags (Anti-Rationalization)

STOP if you are thinking:

  • "I'll figure out the edge cases while coding" -> WRONG. define Alternative Scenarios NOW.
  • "Acceptance Criteria: 'It works'" -> WRONG. Criteria must be binary (Pass/Fail) and specific.
  • "I don't need actors, it's just a backend job" -> WRONG. "System" is an actor. "Cron Job" is an actor.

2. TASK Structure Rules

  • Meta Information: Section 0 MUST include Task ID, Slug and Base revision (git rev-parse HEAD when the task starts, or none outside git).
  • Use Cases: Must be structured with Actors, Preconditions, Main Scenario, Alternative Scenarios, Postconditions, and Acceptance Criteria.
  • Validation: Criteria must be verifiable.

3. Examples

Example of a Good Use Case

[!TIP] See examples/good_use_case.md for a complete, structured example. Its acceptance criteria are plain bullets: severity is a named value, never a glyph (documentation-standards §5.5 rule 5).

Example of a Bad Use Case

[!TIP] See examples/bad_use_case.md for what NOT to do.

Rationalization Table

Agent Excuse Reality / Counter-Argument
"Writing scenarios takes too long" Rewriting code because of missed edge cases takes 3x longer.
"It's obvious what happens" Not to the Code Reviewer, and not to you in two weeks.

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.
