task_auto_check

task_auto_check is a skill for Claude Code from theafh/ai-modules. It costs 91 tokens per session (11,302 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automated readiness workflow for one software task. It repeatedly checks the task, makes approved repairs to its description, and runs final task checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to refresh a task against the current codebase, fix safe readiness issues, and drive the task to a ready state automatically.
Why use it?
It helps turn an unclear or outdated task into one that is ready for implementation without building the feature itself.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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_auto_check 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 yesterday.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 271 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

task_auto_check

<task_auto_check_skill>

<when_to_activate> Activate when the user points at one task and asks for the task itself to be made implementation-ready:

  • "Auto-check this task until it is ready."
  • "Make <task> ready without implementing it."
  • "Run the autonomous readiness loop on <task>."
  • "Fix the readiness issues from task_check if they are safe."

Route to task_check when the user wants a single read-only readiness verdict. Route to the base task skill or task_create when the user wants to write or manually edit a task. Route to task_implement when the user wants the task's described code/docs work built. Route to task_finish for close-out and archive moves. </when_to_activate>

<path_resolution> Resolve the base task and task_check skills from the same plugin bundle as this skill when possible: this skill lives at skills/task_auto_check/SKILL.md, so sibling skills live under ../task/ and ../task_check/. Resolve the helper agents by their published names, auto_drift_task, auto_dryrun_task, auto_gate_task, auto_reviewer_task, and auto_verifier_task, using the current harness's normal agent mechanism. When a harness exposes only file paths, those agents live in the same plugin at ../../agents/ relative to this skill directory. </path_resolution>

  • A max-round override, expressed as a positive integer such as "max rounds 2".
  • Creation-time intent context, used only when the loop runs immediately after a task is drafted.
  • An explicit request to use an available foreign-model reviewer stance. The default is single-model operation with no foreign-model stance.
  • An optional attested_intent statement that a change to the title or Goal is deliberate, passed through to auto_drift_task.

<loop_policy> <single_gate> Use task_check verbatim as the gate. The loop consumes the structured verdict returned by auto_gate_task: task path, status stamp, prior status, ready boolean, per-item checklist record, issue list, and evidence labels. It does not compute a second readiness score and does not override task_check's ready or checked stamp. </single_gate>

<frozen_intent> Freeze the original task's # Title and ## Goal before the first gate call. When the user supplied creation-time intent, freeze that prompt alongside the title and Goal. Every proposal and every applied edit must preserve this frozen intent; the loop may clarify expression, add missing implementation context, or make acceptance checks verifiable, but it must not change what the task is for. </frozen_intent>

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.
