taskmate

taskmate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from titusz/skills. It costs 143 tokens per session (2,093 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line companion for Vikunja, an open-source task manager for projects, tasks, and shared work. It can connect to a Vikunja server using an API token.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list, search, create, update, complete, prioritise, label, assign, relate, move, and comment on Vikunja tasks and projects.
Why use it?
It gives an agent one consistent way to work with Vikunja and guides setup when the server connection is missing or invalid.

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

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

taskmate 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/taskmate.py), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

TaskMate — Vikunja task companion

All Vikunja access goes through the bundled CLI (Python, run via uv, inline deps):

uv run "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/taskmate/scripts/taskmate.py" <command> ...

If ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} is not set in your environment, resolve the script path relative to this SKILL.md file. Examples below abbreviate the invocation to taskmate.py <command>. Output is compact and line-oriented; add --json when you need full API objects. taskmate.py <command> --help documents every flag.

Self-healing configuration

Any command exits with code 2 and a structured JSON error (error: not_configured, with a fix command and an ask_user list) when no valid config exists. When that happens:

  1. Interactive session: ask the user for the missing pieces (server URL; API token created in Vikunja under User Settings → API Tokens; mode user or companion), then run taskmate.py configure --url ... --token ... --mode .... configure validates against the server before saving, so a typo'd URL or token fails fast. For a guided experience, suggest /taskmate:setup.
  2. Non-interactive run (scheduled job, no human available): print TASKMATE_NOT_CONFIGURED: <what is missing> and stop. Never guess or invent credentials.
  3. 401 on a previously working setup: the token was revoked or expired — tell the user and collect a fresh token; everything else is preserved.

taskmate.py doctor diagnoses config path, profiles, auth, and reachability — run it first whenever something smells wrong. Config lives in ~/.config/taskmate/config.json as named profiles; VIKUNJA_URL/VIKUNJA_TOKEN env vars override, --profile NAME selects. Treat tokens as secrets: never echo a full token, never write one into a repo file; when referring to one, mask it (tk_f2...1eef).

Modes: whose hands are you?

The active profile's mode decides your identity on the board. Read references/etiquette.md before board-facing writes in companion mode, and whenever you shape tone or personality.

What ships with it

4 files 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.

Changes

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.
