submit-task

submit-task is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from uHappyLogic/cairn. It costs 73 tokens per session (1,236 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill that adds one clearly described development issue to the current milestone's TASKS_TODO.md file. It checks for duplicates, chooses the right place, and formats the task.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when development reveals a specific bug, missing behavior, or follow-up improvement that is ready to schedule.
Why use it?
It turns a reported bug or gap into a trackable task while keeping the task list organized. Vague or multi-part requests may need clarification first.

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

submit-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 3d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 104 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

submit-task

Turns a single, already-clear issue into a fully-specified task in the current milestone's TASKS_TODO.md. This skill is the user-facing entry point (/submit-task) and the handoff target for /discuss-new-task.

It does two things the agent can't: the triage and positioning that need the whole task list in view — checking for duplicates and deciding where the task belongs — and then it authors and inserts the task inline, in this conversation. Running the authoring inline is deliberate: the contract surface, notes, and success criteria you just wrote stay in context, so the user can immediately ask why a choice was made or request a tweak. For bulk authoring, derive-tasks instead spawns the submit-task agent, which runs the same shared procedure in isolation so N tasks' reasoning never lands in its context. If the issue is still vague or might be several tasks, use /discuss-new-task first.

Invocation

/submit-task <issue description>

<issue description> is a free-form description of a problem or gap discovered during development, specific enough that the affected system, desired behavior, and how to verify it are clear.

Workflow

0. Find the current milestone

Follow ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/shared/get-current-milestone.md to resolve <MILESTONE_DIR>. Never use a hardcoded task-list path.

1. Read context for triage

Read in parallel:

  • <MILESTONE_DIR>/requirements.md — to confirm the issue fits the milestone's scope.
  • <MILESTONE_DIR>/TASKS_TODO.md — existing pending tasks, for duplicate-detection and positioning.
  • <MILESTONE_DIR>/TASKS_DONE.md — completed work, to catch issues already addressed.

2. Triage

  • Duplicate? If an existing pending task or a completed task already covers this issue, stop and tell the user which task covers it. Do not add a duplicate.
  • In scope? If the issue clearly belongs to a different milestone or is really an open design decision, say so and point to the better tool (/discuss-open-question) instead of queuing it.

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.
