task

task is a skill for Claude Code from tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit. It costs 71 tokens per session (1,152 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-delegation workflow for sending work through a shared chat and creating a detailed task seed, a written handoff that another person's agent can unpack and start.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to assign tasks to named people, create self-contained instructions, start the work on their agent, and report progress.
Why use it?
It prevents delegated work from disappearing by giving the assignee clear instructions and tracking the task's state.

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 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 — 64 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/task — delegating tasks to people, with a seed for THEIR Claude

The operator says "N understands this one better" → the task goes to them: a message in the delegation chat (short, human) + a seed file in the vault (full, for their Claude). They say a code phrase to their Claude, which unpacks the seed and starts immediately.

Constants

  • Engine: python ~/.claude/scripts/_shared/delegate.py (env DELEGATE_VAULT for tests)
  • Seeds: $OBSIDIAN_VAULT/10-Tasks\_seeds\<ID>.md (Syncthing carries them to every machine; the Mac path differs)
  • The delegation TG chat: id in memory [[delegation-chat-04-tasks]]; post from THIS machine's own account
  • People: nat · rusl · ant. IDs = NAT-1 / RUSL-2 / ANT-3, case-insensitive

A. DELEGATE (usually on the hub, on the operator's word)

  1. Write the SEED (self-contained, per the decompose canon: Outcome · Context + paths · Scope · Deliverable · DoD · non-goals · how to report back). Normal voice, no secrets ([[credential-store]]).
  2. delegate.py new --to nat --title "<short>" --seed-file <f> → prints the ID + a ready TG text.
  3. Send that TG text to the delegation chat (Telegram MCP). The format is already in the engine output: "📌 @teammate_n · · from the operator / Code phrase: 'task NAT-1'". ⭐ The @mention is MANDATORY (2026-07-14): without a @username the person gets no notification and the message drowns. The same applies to every re-ping.
  4. Connect: you handed it over, so you own it until the result. No ACK within ~a day → re-ping in the delegation chat; continued silence → the hanging-tasks board + escalate to the operator.

B. UNPACK (the assignee's machine, on the code phrase)

  1. You hear "task NAT-1" / "my tasks": delegate.py list --for nat / delegate.py get NAT-1.
  2. The seed is not on disk yet (Syncthing lag) → say honestly "the file is still in transit", do not invent the task.
  3. delegate.py ack NAT-1 --by "<machine>-<person>" + an ACK in the chat: "✅ took NAT-1, starting".
  4. Work from the seed like any other assignment (Tier-2 and the Bible still apply).
  5. Done: delegate.py done NAT-1 --note "<outcome>" + a one-line report in the chat + the artifacts per the DoD.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository tonydzi/second-brain-starter-kit (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 71 tokens to every session and 1,152 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-09-09.
