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

jd-task-manager 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.

Johnny.Decimal Task Manager

This skill manages tasks in Johnny.Decimal systems using the jdtodo.txt plain-text format. It reads, creates, completes, cancels, and modifies tasks stored in todo.txt files within 00.02 Tasks/ folders. It also handles done.txt (completed and cancelled tasks) and someday.txt (deferred items).

Before processing, read references/jdtodo-spec.md for the complete jdtodo.txt format specification.


1. Orientation: Discover the JD Environment

Before touching any files, build a mental map of the user's JD setup.

1.1 Locate the JD Root

The JD root folder is wherever the user's systems live. Common locations:

  • ~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/JD/ (iCloud Drive)
  • ~/Documents/JD/
  • ~/JD/
  • A project-specific folder the user designates

If you don't know the root, ask the user. If the user says "show my tasks" without further context, check the most common locations above. If you find exactly one, confirm it. If you find multiple or none, ask.

1.2 Identify Systems

List the top-level folders under the JD root. Each folder whose name matches the pattern [A-Z][0-9][0-9] * is a JD system (e.g., P10 Personal, W20 Work, C40 Citywide).

If the user has a single system (no SYS prefix), treat the entire JD root as one system.

1.3 Load Each System's JDex

For every system you'll work with, read the JDex file at:

SYS/00-09 */00 */00.00 *JDex*

The JDex is needed to validate JD codes on tasks and to display human-readable descriptions alongside +AC.ID references. If the JDex is missing, you can still manage tasks but cannot validate JD code references — flag this to the user.

1.4 Locate Task Files

For each system, look for task files at:

SYS/00-09 */00 */00.02 Tasks*/todo.txt
SYS/00-09 */00 */00.02 Tasks*/done.txt
SYS/00-09 */00 */00.02 Tasks*/someday.txt

Legacy detection: If a file named 00.02 Tasks.md exists (instead of a 00.02 Tasks/ directory), this is the legacy markdown-checkbox format from the system setup workflow. See §10 for migration guidance.

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.
