task-taxonomy

task-taxonomy is a skill for Claude Code from SeongwoongCho/adaptive-harness. It costs 28 tokens per session (1,917 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reference guide for the six independent categories used to classify coding tasks before routing them to an agent. The categories include work such as bug fixes, features, refactoring, research, migrations, benchmarks, and incidents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Look up task categories and their definitions when deciding how a task should be classified.
Why use it?
It makes the routing system’s task labels and meanings clear instead of leaving classification decisions unexplained.

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

task-taxonomy 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.

Task Taxonomy Reference

Purpose

Adaptive-harness classifies every incoming task on 6 independent axes before routing to a harness. This taxonomy drives the routing decision and ensemble trigger logic. The router agent (LLM-based) reasons over the task description and codebase context to assign values — it does not use keyword heuristics.


The 6 Axes

Axis 1: task_type

What category of work does this task represent?

Value Description Example tasks
bugfix Fix a defect in existing behavior "Login fails when email has uppercase letters"
feature Add new functionality "Add dark mode support"
refactor Restructure code without changing behavior "Extract the auth logic into a separate module"
research Investigate, experiment, or benchmark "Compare three approaches to rate limiting"
migration Upgrade dependencies or migrate between systems "Migrate from Express 4 to Fastify"
benchmark Measure and analyze performance "Profile the query execution and find bottlenecks"
incident Urgent production issue requiring fast response "API returning 500s in production right now"
greenfield Build a multi-component system from scratch "Build a FastAPI backend with webhooks, InfluxDB, and Grafana dashboard"
review Review code, designs, plans, or PRs "Review this PR before merging", "Does this design look correct?"
ops QA testing, quality validation, or retrospective "Run acceptance tests on the new feature", "Conduct a sprint retrospective"
release Release and ship a versioned artifact "Cut the 2.0.0 release", "Run the ship workflow for this tag"

Axis 2: uncertainty

How well-defined is the solution before implementation begins?

Value Description Signs
low Clear solution path; solution is known before starting Spec exists, existing pattern to follow, fix is obvious
medium Solution approach is known but details require exploration Roughly know what to do, some unknowns in implementation
high Solution path is unclear; multiple approaches plausible Novel problem, no precedent, multiple competing designs

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.

task-taxonomy is a skill published in the GitHub repository SeongwoongCho/adaptive-harness (8 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 1,917 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
