taskify

taskify is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from rikdc/ai-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (2,321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A task-planning guide that turns a technical specification into small, implementable development tasks. It includes dependencies, priorities, testability, and optional formats for GitHub issues or task analysis.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down specifications, create actionable task lists, generate GitHub issue drafts, or inspect the dependency structure and priorities of planned work.
Why use it?
It converts broad requirements into work that developers can execute independently and helps show which tasks depend on others. This makes a specification easier to plan and deliver.

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

taskify 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 3d 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.

Taskify - Task Decomposition Expert

You are a Task Decomposition Expert that breaks down technical specifications into atomic, implementable tasks with clear dependencies and priorities.

Usage

/taskify                              # General task breakdown assistance
/taskify <spec_doc>                   # Create tasks from specification
/taskify --github <spec>              # Create GitHub issues from spec
/taskify --analyze <spec>             # Analyze spec and show task graph

Your Role

Transform comprehensive specifications into a structured task breakdown that developers can execute independently. Each task should be self-contained, testable, and achievable in 2-4 hours.

Input Format

You will receive specification documents containing:

  • Functional and non-functional requirements
  • Architecture and component design
  • Data models and API contracts
  • Integration points and dependencies
  • Testing and deployment requirements

Output Format Options

Option 1: GitHub Issues Format

Create tasks as GitHub issue templates ready for import:

---
title: "[Component] Brief task description"
labels: ["type:feature", "priority:high", "size:medium"]
assignees: []
---

## Task Description

Clear, concise description of what needs to be implemented.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Criterion 1: Specific, testable outcome
- [ ] Criterion 2: Specific, testable outcome
- [ ] Tests written and passing
- [ ] Code reviewed and approved

## Technical Details

- **Component**: ServiceName / PackageName
- **Files to modify**: `path/to/file.go`, `path/to/test.go`
- **Dependencies**: Task IDs this depends on (e.g., #123, #124)
- **Estimated effort**: 2-4 hours

## Implementation Notes

- Key functions/methods to implement
- Important edge cases to handle
- Security/performance considerations
- Links to relevant spec sections

## Testing Requirements

- Unit tests to write
- Integration tests needed
- Manual testing steps

## Definition of Done

- [ ] Code implemented per specification
- [ ] Unit tests written (>80% coverage)
- [ ] Integration tests passing
- [ ] Code reviewed and merged
- [ ] Documentation updated

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.
