simple-tasks

A small local task tracker for one software project, built around a tasks/TASKS.md file and a scripts/task.sh command-line script. It supports task states such as claimed, finished, upcoming, and blocked.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan, claim, complete, filter, and report on local project tasks. It is suited to lightweight coordination within a single repository.
Why use it?
It gives a project a shared, simple place to record and track work without requiring a full team issue-tracking system. Optional detail files keep longer notes separate from the main task list.

Getting it into your agent

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

simple-tasks 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/install.sh, templates/simple-tasks/scripts/task.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Simple Tasks

Overview

Paul Solt [email protected] Version: 0.9.8

simple-tasks installs a lightweight local task CLI into an existing project.

Design goals:

  • Fast local planning and execution.
  • Human shorthand task numbers + stable task IDs.
  • Single canonical backlog file: tasks/TASKS.md.
  • Optional long-form notes per task: tasks/details/<id>.md.

Install

skills/simple-tasks/scripts/install.sh --project-dir /path/to/project

Common flags:

  • --project-dir PATH required
  • --mode install|upgrade default install
  • --dry-run preview changes only

Commands

Installed scripts/task.sh supports:

  • claim
  • done
  • status
  • next
  • plan
  • finished
  • upcoming
  • needs-planning
  • blocked
  • summary
  • learn

Filters:

  • --today
  • --last-24h
  • --last-week
  • --last-month
  • --days
  • --mine
  • --agent
  • --limit
Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

simple-tasks is a skill published in the GitHub repository robertguss/claude-code-toolkit (108 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 321 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
