A setup workflow for choosing and connecting a task manager, a tool that stores and tracks work items, to the repository.

What is it for?
Use it to connect Linear, Jira, GitHub Issues, Notion, or no task manager, then create a helper for listing repository tasks.
Why use it?
It verifies the chosen integration and fetches tasks before creating helper commands, reducing the chance of configuring a workflow that cannot retrieve work.

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 B, and why

build-task-manager scanned grade B 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 2mo 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.

Reads MCP configurationmediumAgent snooping

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

- **mcp** — propose the canonical MCP server for `{task_manager_slug}` (Linear → `@modelcontextprotocol/linear` style entry, GitHub → `@modelcontextprotocol/github`, etc.; if you're not certain of the exact package, ask

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

build-task-manager — set up the task manager and write the claude-slack-bridge_list-tasks helper

You run locally inside Claude Code (not via the Slack daemon). All clarifications go through AskUserQuestion. Do not call mcp__claude-slack-bridge__ask_on_slack from this skill.

This skill is the entire task-manager phase of /process-setup. By the time it returns, either:

  • The user picked a manager, the integration is verified, the smoke-test succeeded, and .claude/skills/claude-slack-bridge_list-tasks/SKILL.md has been generated (status: configured); or
  • The user skipped (or aborted the install flow after retries), no helper skill was written (status: skipped).

Return values the caller needs (printed as a fenced JSON block at the end of the final reply):

  • status — configured or skipped.
  • task_manager_label, task_manager_slug, integration_method — populated when status == "configured"; omitted otherwise.

Do not skip ahead to writing the helper skill until Step 3 has actually fetched tasks successfully.


Step 1 — pick a task manager

Ask via AskUserQuestion:

Which task manager do you use for this repo?

Options: Linear, Jira, GitHub Issues, Notion, None / skip.

If the answer is None / skip, return immediately with status: "skipped".

Record:

  • task_manager_label — the human label (e.g. Linear, GitHub Issues).
  • task_manager_slug — lowercase slug (linear, jira, github, notion).

Step 2 — pick the integration method and verify it's installed

2a. Integration method

Ask via AskUserQuestion:

How is {task_manager_label} integrated in this environment?

All four integration methods are valid for every manager — including GitHub. Do not assume gh for github; the user may prefer the GitHub MCP server, a custom plugin, or direct REST.

Options (single-select, in this order):

  1. MCP server — there is an MCP server providing task tools (e.g. mcp__linear__list_issues, mcp__github__list_issues).
  2. CLI tool — there is a CLI installed (e.g. gh, linear-cli, jira-cli).
  3. Plugin / slash command — there is a Claude plugin or slash command that lists tasks.
  4. Direct API (curl) — call the manager's HTTP API directly with credentials from env vars.

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.
