rhizome-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.github/skills/rhizome-task-workflow/SKILL.md

rhizome-task-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from Odrin/rhizome-mcp. It costs 37 tokens per session (293 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow guide for Rhizome, a task-tracking service for coding agents. It describes how to find, claim, execute, review, checkpoint, hand off, and finish tracked tasks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to open a project, select one issue, claim it, renew its lease, save restartable checkpoints, and report verification and next steps.
Why use it?
It gives agents a consistent way to coordinate work and recover progress when an attempt is interrupted.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: argument-hint in frontmatter.

This is Odrin/rhizome-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on rhizome-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything rhizome-mcp configures →

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

rhizome-task-workflow 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 9d 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

Rhizome Task Workflow

  1. Call open_project with the absolute repository root. Retain its project_ref and pass it to every later project-scoped tool call.
  2. Find claimable work with get_planning_graph or list_issues using that project_ref.
  3. Read get_work_context, then claim exactly one issue before editing.
  4. Renew long leases and save restartable checkpoints with artifacts.
  5. Finish every attempt with its truthful outcome, verification, and next steps.

Use:

These three files are generated from the MCP server guides by go generate ./internal/adapters/mcp/... and must not be edited by hand.

The equivalent server guides are linked in the metadata returned by open_project and get_project.

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
