ase-task-list is a skill for Claude Code from rse/ase. It costs 19 tokens per session (1,940 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command that lists available task plans, filtered by their lifecycle status. A task plan is a written description of work and its current state.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list plans in states such as drafted, started, blocked, completed, or cancelled.
Why use it?
It lets you find relevant plans without opening them one by one.

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-list 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 10d 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.

$ARGUMENTS

Procedure

  1. Determine the effective state set , i.e., the lifecycle states a task plan has to be in to be listed at all. For this, first determine the all states set and the finished states set of the task lifecycle model of the current project:

    • If is solo (or absent): is OPEN, SHELVED, CLOSED, and CANCELLED, and is CLOSED and CANCELLED.

    • If is team: is PLANNING, SHELVED, IMPLEMENTING, STALLED, IMPLEMENTED, and CANCELLED, and is IMPLEMENTED and CANCELLED.

    • If is enterprise: is DRAFTED, SHELVED, PLANNING, PLANNED, STALLED, IMPLEMENTING, IMPLEMENTED, DECLINED, QUALIFYING, QUALIFIED, DEFERRED, INTEGRATING, INTEGRATED, and CANCELLED, and is INTEGRATED and CANCELLED.

    Then parse and as comma-separated token lists, silently dropping the none sentinel and any empty token, and replacing the finished sentinel with . If a token is not one of the Status: values in , only output the following and then STOP processing the entire current skill:

    Otherwise set to if both lists are empty, to the include list if only it is non-empty, to minus the exclude list if only it is non-empty, and to the include list minus the exclude list if both are non-empty. If the resulting is empty, only output the following and then STOP processing the entire current skill:

    Directly after this error , and before stopping, give the corrective hint by expanding the following (which, depending on the configured , may expand into nothing and hence emit no output at all):

  2. Call the ase_task_list(verbose: <getopt-option-verbose/>) tool from the ase MCP server. The result is a structured object with a tasks array where each entry has an id and a status field, and -- if is true -- additionally an mtime field (formatted as YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM) and an effort field (the T-shirt size XS, S, M, L, or XL of the task, empty if not estimated). Drop from the tasks array every entry whose status is contained in but not in . Keep every entry whose status is not contained in at all, regardless of , and remember it as an unknown-status entry. Do not output anything.

  3. For each unknown-status entry of step 2, output the following , where and correspond to the entry and is rendered as a comma-separated list:

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.

ase-task-list is a skill published in the GitHub repository rse/ase (60 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 19 tokens to every session and 1,940 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
