Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00052 | $0.01194 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00597 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00239 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00119 |
Grade A, and why
task-breakdown 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 5d 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 Breakdown
Break complex requests into actionable tasks for agent delegation.
Available Agents
| Agent | Skill | Responsibilities |
|---|---|---|
| Database | database-patterns | Schema design, migrations, queries, ORMs |
| Backend | node-backend | APIs, business logic, authentication |
| Frontend | react-patterns | React/Next.js UI, state, forms |
| iOS | swift-patterns | SwiftUI apps, native iOS features |
| DevOps | devops-patterns | Docker, CI/CD, deployment, infra |
| Designer | design-patterns | Tokens, styling, themes, animations |
Breakdown Process
- Identify scope - What is being asked?
- List components - Which agents are involved?
- Find dependencies - What must happen first?
- Assess complexity - Simple, medium, or complex?
- Sequence tasks - Order for execution
Component Identification
| If request involves... | Agent(s) needed |
|---|---|
| Data models, schema, tables | Database |
| API endpoints, business logic | Backend |
| Web UI, React components | Frontend |
| Native iOS app | iOS |
| Deployment, containers, CI/CD | DevOps |
| Styling, theming, design tokens | Designer |
| Data + API | Database → Backend |
| API + Web UI | Backend → Frontend |
| API + iOS app | Backend → iOS |
| Full web stack | Database → Backend → Frontend |
| Full iOS stack | Database → Backend → iOS |
| Full stack + deployment | Database → Backend → Frontend → DevOps |
| Styled components | Designer → Frontend |
Complexity Assessment
| Complexity | Indicators | Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Simple | Single component, clear requirements, <1 day work | One agent, direct |
| Medium | 2-3 components, some unknowns, 1-3 days work | Sequential agents |
| Complex | 4+ components, unclear scope, dependencies, >3 days | Split into multiple tasks |

What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-breakdown is a skill published in the GitHub repository shahtuyakov/claude-setup (13 stars, last pushed 8mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,194 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 2026-08-30.
