goga-task-by-specifying

goga-task-by-specifying is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from qarium/goga. It costs 14 tokens per session (2,179 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A task-formulation workflow that turns a short request into a structured task document with its goal, technology, dependencies, and scope.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify feature requests such as adding authorisation, record the resulting task, and create separate topics for subtasks.
Why use it?
It removes ambiguity before coding begins, so the work can be split into clear tasks and passed to later development steps.

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

goga-task-by-specifying 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 14d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 222 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Task Formulation

Purpose

Transforms a raw user request (e.g., "add authorization") into a formulated task — a structured document containing the description, technology stack, dependencies, and scope estimate. The output is persisted at the path printed by goga history path -f task.md (run goga history ensure first if the topic directory does not exist) and serves as input for the goga-prototype skill.

When the request decomposes into several subtasks, the main task (the first subtask) is persisted as described above; each additional subtask becomes a separate topic via goga topics create <branch-name> --todo with its full task document piped via stdin.


Dialogue Rules

  1. Drive the conversation through hypotheses. Present concrete options rather than open-ended questions.

  2. Ask one question per message. Deliver a single focused question with 2-4 answer options.

  3. Structure every response. This discipline prevents unstructured discussion.


Phase 1: Input Collection

Accept the user's description of the desired outcome.

The description may be:

  • Brief — a single sentence or feature name
  • Detailed — a complete specification with requirements

If the description is brief, do not request clarifications yet. Phase 3 will resolve missing details. Retain the original description throughout the session.

Phase 2: Context Loading

Step 1: Load the DSL specification

Invoke goga-cell via the Skill tool. Purpose:

  • Understand cell and CODEMANIFEST terminology for analyzing the existing architecture
Step 2: Load DSL application principles

Invoke goga-cookbook via the Skill tool. Purpose:

  • Understand the two-level usages model (project-level .goga/usages/ and cell-level <cell_path>/.usages/)
  • Learn usage file authoring principles for creating .goga/usages/cooks/
Step 3: Retrieve the project schema

Run goga schema to obtain the cell hierarchy.

If the project lacks an existing architecture, record this as a known fact.

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.
