gen-taskfiles

gen-taskfiles is a skill for Claude Code from sgaunet/claude-plugins. It costs 32 tokens per session (5,764 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A generator for Go project automation files, including tool-version settings, task definitions, and pre-commit checks. These files define repeatable commands for linting, testing, building, documentation, and releases.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a Go project's mise, Task, and pre-commit configuration with tasks for checks, builds, snapshots, releases, images, and documentation.
Why use it?
It avoids setting up several configuration files and tool versions manually, reducing differences between local development and continuous integration.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 C, and why

gen-taskfiles scanned grade C with 2 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 22d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 642 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Taskfiles

Instantly create a complete Task automation setup for Go projects including a mise.toml (development tool versions), the main Taskfile, development tasks, and pre-commit hooks configuration. This skill provides a comprehensive task runner setup with linting, testing, building, and release automation — and pins the tool versions so local development and CI stay in sync.

Why This Skill Exists

Problem: Setting up task automation for Go projects requires manually creating Taskfile configuration, understanding Task syntax, pinning tool versions, and configuring pre-commit hooks - a 20-30 minute process.

Solution: One-command generation that:

  • Creates complete dev setup (4 files): mise.toml, Taskfile.yml, Taskfile_dev.yml, .pre-commit-config.yaml
  • Pins tool versions in mise.toml (go, task, golangci-lint, goreleaser) so local dev and CI use identical versions
  • Includes tasks: lint, test, build, snapshot, release, image, doc
  • Configures pre-commit hooks for automated quality checks
  • Integrates with golangci-lint and goreleaser

mise.toml is the single source of truth for tool versions. It is consumed by the CI generators (/gen-github-dir, /gen-forgejo-dir, /gen-gitlab-ci), whose workflows install tools via mise and then run task …. See https://mise.jdx.dev.

Content Generation Rules

CRITICAL: When generating any content (taskfiles, commit messages, or any other output):

  • NEVER add Claude Code attribution or co-authorship
  • NEVER include phrases like "Generated by Claude", "Created with Claude Code", or similar
  • NEVER add "Co-Authored-By: Claude" in commit messages or documentation
  • All generated content should appear as if written by a human developer
  • Focus on technical accuracy and providing working templates

Process (6 Phases)

Phase 1: Prerequisites Validation

Critical checks before proceeding:

  1. Validate Git repository:
    git rev-parse --git-dir
    
    • If fails: Exit with error "Not a git repository. Run 'git init' first."
