What is task-management?

A workflow for organizing tasks, setting priorities, finding overdue or stale work, and planning the day. It also summarizes progress across projects.

Use it for daily reviews, prioritizing new tasks, spotting overdue work, checking project health, and suggesting next actions.

It reduces the need to manually scan due dates, priorities, project deadlines, and recent updates to decide what needs attention first.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00509
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00204
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00102
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00051

Security

Grade A, and why

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 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.

Task Management

Prioritize tasks, detect overdue items, and help with daily planning.

When to Use

A new task is created (triggered automatically via hook)
Daily review schedule fires (weekday mornings)
User asks to prioritize, plan their day, or review tasks

Process

Assess new tasks: When a task is created without a priority, evaluate it:
- Check the due_date — tasks due within 24 hours get high or critical
- Check the effort — epic tasks with near due dates get critical
- Check the project — inherit urgency from project due dates
- Default to medium if no signals are present
Daily review: Scan all active tasks and surface:
- Overdue tasks (past due_date) — flag these first
- Tasks due today — sorted by priority
- Tasks due this week with no priority set
- Stale tasks (no update in 7+ days)
Project progress: When reviewing tasks, summarize project health:
- Count active vs. completed tasks per project
- Flag projects with many overdue tasks
- Note projects approaching their due_date with incomplete tasks
Suggest next actions: After review, recommend:
- Which tasks to tackle first (highest priority, smallest effort)
- Tasks that could be broken down (large/epic effort, no subtasks)
- Tasks that may need re-prioritization

Priority Assignment Rubric

Signal	Suggested Priority
Due today, any effort	`critical`
Due within 3 days, medium+ effort	`high`
Due within 7 days	`medium`
No due date, part of active project	`medium`
No due date, standalone	`low`
Blocked or waiting on external input	`low` (add "blocked" tag)

Rules

Never change a user-set priority without asking first
Always explain why you assigned or changed a priority
When marking a task complete, set completed_at to the current timestamp
Archive completed tasks after 30 days to keep the active list clean
Link tasks to their project via a belongs_to relationship
Link tasks to labels via a labeled relationship

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.
