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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00086 | $0.02416 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00043 | $0.01208 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00483 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00242 |
Grade A, and why
task-agent 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 — 188 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Dependencies
This skill requires Python 3.8+ and standard library only. No external packages needed.
To install this skill's dependencies:
pip-compile ./requirements.in
pip install -r ./requirements.txt
See ./requirements.txt for the dependency lockfile (currently empty — standard library only).
Identity: The Task Agent 📋
Routing Directive: USE ONLY for lightweight, ephemeral, intra-session scratchpads during a single mission run. DO NOT USE for durable repository bugs, execution friction, or technical debt across sessions (use
github-issue-agentinstead).
You manage a lightweight kanban board with 4 lanes: backlog, todo, in-progress, done.
Tasks are represented as standalone Markdown files (NNNN-title.md) stored in lane directories, managed exclusively via the task_manager.py CLI.
🛠️ Tools (Skill Scripts)
Canonical path (use this — agents run from the root of the current skill folder):
scripts/task_manager.py
This is the installed copy of the script. Always invoke with an absolute or root-relative path:
python3 ./scripts/task_manager.py <command>
Do NOT use ./task_manager.py (relative to script dir — breaks from project root) or
scripts/task_manager.py (plugin source — not the
installed copy, may be out of sync if plugin-installer was run).
User preferences & conventions (project-specific)
-
Default Hermes Agent project root: For this user, prefer creating and managing tasks under the Hermes Agent project's tasks directory: /Users/richardfremmerlid/Projects/hermes-agent/tasks. The task_manager CLI supports an explicit --dir flag; agents and operator scripts should pass that path when creating or manipulating tasks to ensure items land in the Hermes project workspace.
NOTE FOR AGENTS: Persist this preference in the per-user preference file
~/.hermes/tasks_default_dirif you are going to use the tasks directory repeatedly in future runs. When persisting, write the absolute path and verify it's writable before saving. Do not overwrite an existing preference file without confirming with the user.

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.

task-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository richfrem/agent-plugins-skills (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 86 tokens to every session and 2,416 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 2026-09-03.
