spec-write-tasks

spec-write-tasks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ronronner02/codepilot-agent. It costs 110 tokens per session (2,107 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for turning a settled local implementation plan into a task pack, or checking an existing task pack before work begins. A task pack breaks a large or dependent plan into smaller execution units.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to split a local plan into tasks or validate task documentation before coding. It can also decide that no task pack is needed.
Why use it?
It reduces context overload and execution risk when a plan is too large to handle directly. It also prevents outdated or invalid task documents from reaching implementation.

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

spec-write-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 yesterday.

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 — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

spec-write-tasks

spec-write-tasks is an optional derived layer between spec-plan and spec-work. It does not execute code. It either compiles a settled source plan into a derived task pack, validates an existing task pack, or returns a no-task-pack decision.

It is a public workflow with the unified entrypoint spec-write-tasks.

Purpose

Decide whether a derived task pack is worthwhile, compile one when it reduces execution risk or context load, and validate existing task packs before they reach spec-work.

Workflow Contract Summary

When To Use

Use when a settled local source plan is too large or dependent for direct execution, when the user explicitly asks to split a plan into tasks, or when an existing local task pack needs validation before spec-work.

When Not To Use

Do not use for unresolved product or architecture scope, small changes that do not need a derived layer, remote repositories or package names, marketplace skill lookup, or implementation prompts that should go directly to spec-work.

Inputs

A local source plan path, existing task-pack path, or clear task-splitting request that resolves to one local source plan. Inputs must stay local and source-owned; remote repos, packages, marketplace identifiers, and generic task lists are rejected.

Outputs

One of: executable derived task pack, validated existing task-pack handoff, skip, return-to-plan, draft-only, or validate-only envelope. Task packs are derived execution indexes and never replace the source plan.

Artifacts

Executable task packs live under docs/tasks/ and must carry an artifact-root-relative POSIX source_plan, canonical source_plan_hash, generated_by: spec-write-tasks, mode: derived, and a valid Task Pack Contract JSON block. Executable identity is source-plan-path+body-hash; spec_id is an optional compatibility trace rather than a required identity field.

Failure Modes

Use machine-readable reason codes: source_plan_missing, ambiguous_plan, wrong_chain, stale_hash, unverifiable_hash, invalid_contract, repo_scope_missing, or scope_gap.

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.
