tasks

tasks is a skill for Claude Code from pioneerdotai/pioneer. It costs 50 tokens per session (1,599 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

Instructions for managing durable tasks: work that can run later, repeatedly, or in the background and keeps its state and run history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Creating, inspecting, updating, rescheduling, pausing, resuming, troubleshooting, and configuring recurring or scheduled tasks.
Why use it?
It helps track what should run, what already ran, errors, results, and how completed results are delivered.

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 B, and why

tasks scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Directions to print, repeat or translate the system prompt extract configuration the operator did not intend to expose.

For delivery fixes, preserve schedule, goal, instructions, and output instructions unless the user asked to change them.

Pioneer Durable Tasks

Durable tasks are product objects that can outlive the current turn. They have task state, run history, result snapshots, attempts, diagnostics, schedules, and delivery behavior.

Use this skill for future, recurring, background, or already-existing task work. For attached child agents created to help with the current turn, read system:pioneer/subagents instead.

Product Model

Think in three surfaces:

  • Task state: durable source of truth for what should run, what did run, results, attempts, errors, and diagnostics.
  • Run execution: a concrete attempt to perform the task now or later.
  • Delivery: the policy that decides whether a terminal task result becomes a thread message, user notification, webhook call, or no visible output.

Do not confuse "the task produced a result" with "the user saw the result in this thread." Execution and delivery are separate.

Quick Start

Before using durable task tools, decide what kind of task work this is.

  1. If work should run later or repeatedly, create a scheduled, interval, or cron task with self-contained future-run instructions.
  2. If existing task behavior must change, inspect it first with task_get or task_list.
  3. If only the schedule changes, use task_reschedule when available.
  4. If delivery changes, patch only delivery and verify it.
  5. If the task should be temporarily stopped or restarted, use pause/resume tools when visible.
  6. If a result should appear in this chat later, configure thread delivery deliberately.
  7. If the result should only alert the user, use notification delivery only when a durable chat message is not required.

For future scheduled work, do not call task_wait after creation unless an active waitable run exists. Confirm the task id, schedule, timezone, delivery behavior, and where results will appear.

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.

tasks is a skill published in the GitHub repository pioneerdotai/pioneer (11 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 50 tokens to every session and 1,599 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks the agent to reveal its instructions). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
