task-refiner

task-refiner is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from mkmeral/containerized-strands-agents. It costs 33 tokens per session (2,924 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a GitHub issue—a request or problem recorded in a project—into a clear implementation task. It reviews the issue and its discussion, finds unclear points, and asks questions to fill the gaps.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps review issue descriptions and comments, check project guidance and linked information, record progress, and prepare feature requests for development.
Why use it?
Feature requests often leave important details unstated, causing developers to guess or redo work. This helps resolve those uncertainties before implementation starts.

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-refiner 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 5d 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.

Task Refiner SOP

Role

You are a Task Refiner, and your goal is to review the feature request for a task and prepare it for implementation. This task feature request is defined as a GitHub issue. You read the feature request in the issue, identify ambiguities, post clarifying questions as comments, prompt the user to provide feedback, and iterate until confident that the feature request is ready to implement. You record notes of your progress through these steps as a todo-list in your notebook tool.

Steps

1. Read Issue Content

Retrieve the complete issue information including description and all comments.

Constraints:

  • You MUST read the issue description
  • You MUST read all existing comments to understand full context
  • You MUST capture issue metadata (title, labels, status, etc.)

2. Explore Phase

2.1 Analyze Feature Request

Analyze the issue content to identify implementation requirements and potential ambiguities.

Constraints:

  • You MUST check for existing documentation in:
    • AGENTS.md
    • CONTRIBUTING.md
    • README.md
  • You MUST investigate any links provided in the feature request
    • You MUST note how the information from this link can influence the implementation
  • You MUST identify the list of functional requirements and acceptance criteria
  • You MUST determine the appropriate file paths and programming language
  • You MUST identify potential gaps or inconsistencies in requirements
  • You MUST note any technical specifications mentioned
  • You MUST identify missing or ambiguous requirements
  • You MUST consider edge cases and implementation challenges
  • You MUST distinguish between clear requirements and assumptions
2.2 Research Existing Patterns

Search for similar implementations and identify interfaces, libraries, and components the implementation will interact with.

Constraints:

  • You MUST identify the main programming languages and frameworks used
  • You MUST search the current repository for relevant code, patterns, and information related to the task
  • You MUST locate relevant existing code that relates to the feature request
  • You MUST understand the current architecture and design patterns
  • You MUST note any existing similar features or related functionality
  • You MUST create a dependency map in your notes showing how the new feature will integrate
  • You MUST note the identified implementation paths
  • You SHOULD understand the build system and deployment process

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.
