ase-task-assign

ase-task-assign is a skill for Claude Code from rse/ase. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,131 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A task-assignment tool for giving a task plan to yourself or another person. When you take a task yourself, it records the coding agent session’s time, token use, and cost until the task is handed back.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to pick up a task, assign it to someone else, or return it after work. It also connects the task with the session that worked on it.
Why use it?
It keeps ownership of a task clear and preserves usage information when work changes hands. This is useful when several people or agents share a task list.

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

ase-task-assign 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.

Procedure

  1. Determine Task and Assignee:

    1. Parse (with any leading and trailing whitespace stripped) into a whitespace-separated list of tokens. Inherit the always existing , , , and from the current context. Set and (empty). Do not output anything.

  2. Perform Assignment:

    1. Call the ase_task_assign(id: "<id/>", assignee: "<assignee/>", session: "<ase-session-id/>", tool: "<ase-agent-tool/>") tool of the ase MCP server and set to the text output field of this tool call. As giving a task back waits for late telemetry, this call takes about 10 seconds then. Do not output anything related to this MCP tool call.

      • If starts with ERROR:: Only output the following :

      • If starts NOT with ERROR:: Call the ase_task_id(id: "<id/>", session: "<ase-session-id/>") tool of the ase MCP server to switch the task, so the usage window of the task observes assignee changes made elsewhere, and set . Do not output anything related to this MCP tool call.

        Set to the first line of with the leading OK: prefix stripped and only output the following :

        If carries a line NOTICE: <info/>, additionally output:

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.
