create-task

A guide for creating tasks in the team’s issue tracker with the required details and labels. It keeps task titles, descriptions, and labels in English so they can be searched and understood across teams.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it whenever you create a task, issue, or work item, including tasks created during planning or from a command.
Why use it?
It reduces incomplete or hard-to-find tasks and prevents mixed-language task information from confusing people or weakening tracker searches.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

create-task 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 2d 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 — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Create Task

Standardized task creation that enforces required fields and suggests labels. Fires in any context where a task is being created - inside commands, during planning, or in direct conversation.

IMPORTANT: If the spec below invokes any deferred tool (e.g. AskUserQuestion), you MUST load and call it as specified. Never skip the call, never substitute a default answer of your own — the tool invocation is part of the contract. This is critical.

IMPORTANT: Language

All task content MUST be in English regardless of conversation language. If the user is speaking another language, translate to English before creating the task.

Applies to every field:

  • title
  • description (problem statement, acceptance criteria, examples)
  • labels
  • Any subsequent comment-add / set-field on this task

Why: tasks are searched, filtered, and cross-referenced across the team and external systems (GitHub, Linear). Mixed-language tasks break tracker search and confuse non-native-language readers.

Why This Exists

Tasks created without labels, priority, or description become orphaned and hard to find. This skill ensures every task has full metadata from the start.

Required Fields

Every task create MUST include every field the active adapter's create declares in accepts: - and nothing else:

Field Required Rules
title Always Imperative mood, clear action. Under 80 chars
type If declared One of: task, bug, feature, epic
priority If declared 0-4 (0=critical, 1=high, 2=medium, 3=low, 4=backlog)
description Always Why this task exists + acceptance criteria
labels If declared At least one epic:<name> label for grouping

"If declared" means: read the active adapter's create binding cell. Ask for a field only when its accepts: list carries it. When it does not, either use the rename the adapter declares (priority→severity means ask for priority, send severity) or say in one line that this tracker has no such field, and move on. Never collect a value and drop it - the user has no way to tell that happened.

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.

create-task is a skill published in the GitHub repository restarter/lets-workflow (17 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 1,832 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
