md-tasks

md-tasks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Unique-Divine/jiyuu. It costs 82 tokens per session (860 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for writing Markdown task lists with consistent checkboxes. Markdown is plain text that can be formatted, and checkboxes show which work is unfinished or complete.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when editing READMEs, specifications, journals, and issue plans that contain open tasks, completed tasks, subtasks, context, or command-based task searches.
Why use it?
It makes tasks easy to scan and lets commands such as grep or rg find open and completed work reliably. It also keeps nested tasks and acceptance checks visible in plans and technical documents.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

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

md-tasks 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 7d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Markdown tasks and checkbox conventions

Follow these conventions so agents and humans can scan open work reliably.

Usage guidelines

Checkbox notation

Denote open tasks or TODOs with standard checkbox notation:

  • - [ ] for incomplete tasks.
  • - [x] for done tasks.

Indentation defines subtasks: extra leading spaces nest bullets under a parent item.

In planning/spec documents, default every actionable item at every nesting level to checkbox notation. Do not hide implementation work in ordinary bullets.

Often add ordinary sub-bullets for status or context beneath a task, but only when the bullet is not itself work to do. For example:

- [ ] Some task
  - Status: maybe some status description or how it was completed
  - More context
  - [ ] Subtask A

This keeps review tight: unfinished work sorts visually to checklist lines while still allowing narrative detail.

Actionable sub-bullets

If a sub-bullet describes work to do, a decision to resolve, behavior to implement, a file to create, a test to add, or an acceptance criterion to verify, write it as a checkbox task too:

- [ ] Implement tx archive CLI.
  - [ ] Keep Bash responsible for chain config, keyring preflight, and broadcast.
  - [ ] Make TypeScript responsible for txhash parsing and Markdown formatting.
  - Rationale: TypeScript is easier to test for JSON, filenames, and CLI args.

Use ordinary nested bullets only for non-actionable context, rationale, status, examples, or notes. When unsure whether a sub-bullet is actionable, prefer - [ ].

Task Questions

Sometimes we'll pose a question or frame a resolve decision as a task. That can look like this.

- [ ] Q: Some open question?
  A: Record the answer once resolved, mark this decision task complete, and
  create separate open tasks for its actionable consequences.

Decision and implementation tasks

Deciding what to do and implementing that decision are different task lifecycles. During specification, track an unresolved decision as an open task. Once resolved, preserve the decision and rationale as settled context or a completed decision task, then derive separate open tasks for implementation, validation, rollout, or deferred follow-up:

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.

md-tasks is a skill published in the GitHub repository Unique-Divine/jiyuu (6 stars, last pushed 25d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 860 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 2026-08-31.
