execute-tasks

execute-tasks is a skill for Claude Code from sequenzia/agent-alchemy. It costs 60 tokens per session (3,917 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for running pending Claude Code tasks in dependency order, using concurrent workers and verification steps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute a prepared group of coding tasks autonomously, with parallel work where dependencies allow it.
Why use it?
It removes the manual coordination needed to decide what runs next, share findings, retry failures, and track completion.

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

execute-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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/poll-for-results.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.

Execute Tasks Skill

This skill orchestrates autonomous task execution for Claude Code Tasks. It builds a dependency-aware execution plan, launches a dedicated agent for each task through a 4-phase workflow (Understand, Implement, Verify, Complete), handles retries with failure context, and shares learnings across tasks through a shared execution context file.

Core Principles

1. Understand Before Implementing

Never write code without first understanding:

  • What the task requires (acceptance criteria or inferred requirements)
  • What code already exists (read before modify)
  • What conventions the project follows (CLAUDE.md, existing patterns)
  • What earlier tasks discovered (shared execution context)

2. Follow Existing Patterns

Match the codebase's established patterns:

  • Coding style, naming conventions, file organization
  • Error handling approach, logging patterns
  • Test framework, test structure, assertion style
  • Import ordering, module organization

3. Verify Against Criteria

Do not assume implementation is correct. Verify by:

  • Walking through each acceptance criterion for spec-generated tasks
  • Running tests and linters for all tasks
  • Confirming the core change works as intended
  • Checking for regressions in existing functionality

4. Report Honestly

Produce accurate verification results:

  • PASS only when all Functional criteria pass and tests pass
  • PARTIAL when non-critical criteria fail but core works
  • FAIL when Functional criteria or tests fail
  • Never mark a task complete if verification fails

Orchestration Workflow

This skill orchestrates task execution through a 10-step loop. See references/orchestration.md for the full detailed procedure.

Step 1: Load Task List

Retrieve all tasks via TaskList. If a --task-group argument was provided, filter tasks to only those with matching metadata.task_group. If a specific task-id argument was provided, validate it exists.

Step 2: Validate State

Handle edge cases: empty list, all completed, specific task blocked, no unblocked tasks, circular dependencies.

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.

execute-tasks is a skill published in the GitHub repository sequenzia/agent-alchemy (44 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 3,917 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 2026-09-03.
