offload-task

offload-task is a skill for Claude Code from MithunWijayasiri/dotclaude. It costs 68 tokens per session (633 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for turning one unresolved coding problem into a standalone Markdown brief for another coding agent or a fresh session. The brief records the problem, relevant file references, constraints, and previous attempts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when moving one unsolved problem to another chat, agent, or coding session.
Why use it?
A stuck conversation may contain too much unrelated context or repeat failed approaches. A focused handoff lets a new agent start with the information that matters.

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

offload-task 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 — 74 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Extract ONE problem from this conversation into a markdown brief saved to ~/Downloads/.

Not a session summary. handoff-session covers the whole session so work continues; this covers one unsolved problem so someone else solves it. Everything unrelated to that problem is excluded, even work done this session.

Scope

  • Arguments given → that is the problem. No arguments → the most recent unresolved problem.
  • Unsure which of several → ask before writing.

Reader

A coding agent with this repo checked out — no prior context, full file access.

  • Reference path/to/file.ts:123. Do not paste code the reader can open.
  • Inline only what cannot be opened: error output, terminal logs, user observations of the live UI, values from screenshots.
  • Name the project rules that constrain the answer (.claude/rules/*.md, CLAUDE.md) by path — do not restate them.

Attempts are the payload

The reason to offload is that the current thread burned attempts. List every one, one line each: what was tried → what happened. This is the section that stops the new session re-proposing a failed fix, so never compress it away.

Include attempts made in code AND things the user checked by hand.

Facts, not theories

Report observations. Omit your own diagnoses, hunches, and "likely cause" reasoning — those are what the thread got stuck on, and repeating them anchors the new session onto the same track.

Unknowns belong in Open Questions as questions, not as answers.

Exception: a hypothesis already tested and disproved belongs in Attempts as a fact.

Structure

# [Problem in one line]

## Goal
What should happen, in the flow it belongs to.

## Failing behaviour
What happens instead. Verbatim error output. Exact file:line.

## Reproduce
Command, spec, or steps.

## Attempts
- Tried X → Y happened. Code attempts and manual checks both.

## Evidence
Observations from the live app, logs, screenshots, network/console.

## Open questions
Questions, unanswered.

## Constraints
Rule files that apply. Anything the new session must not do.

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.
