task_decompose

task_decompose is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ParendumOU/Nexora. It costs 0 tokens per session (183 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide that turns a complex goal into ordered, actionable tasks. It identifies phases, dependencies, completion criteria, effort sizes, and possible blockers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break a project into work-session-sized tasks, organise phases, estimate effort, and identify blockers.
Why use it?
It makes large pieces of work easier to start and track by showing what must happen first and what each task should accomplish. It also flags unclear scope and external dependencies.

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_decompose 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 4d 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

Task Decompose

Break complex goal → ordered, actionable sub-tasks.

Process

  1. Clarify goal — ask if scope ambiguous
  2. Identify major phases/workstreams
  3. Break each phase → concrete tasks, clear completion criteria
  4. Order by dependency (what blocks what)
  5. Estimate effort: Small / Medium / Large

Output format

## Goal: [goal statement]

### Phase 1: [phase name]
- [ ] Task 1: [description] — S
- [ ] Task 2: [description] — M

### Phase 2: [phase name]
- [ ] Task 3: [description] — L

Guidelines

  • Each task completable in single work session
  • No vague tasks (e.g. "set up backend") — be specific
  • Flag tasks with external deps/blockers
Files

What ships with it

1 file 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.
