agent-task-splitter

agent-task-splitter is a skill for Claude Code from WenyuChiou/agent-collab-skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (1,290 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that breaks a large goal into bounded tasks for multiple coding agents and records how those tasks depend on one another.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create multi-agent plans, split work into parallel tasks, prepare handoff files, and route tasks to supported agents.
Why use it?
It turns a broad assignment into coordinated pieces with clear handoffs, reducing duplicated work and unclear ownership.

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

agent-task-splitter 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 4d 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 — 173 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

agent-task-splitter

Turn one approved goal into a provider-neutral role DAG and bounded task packets. This skill plans; it does not spawn agents.

Read references/task_splitter_heuristics.md when role selection or DAG shape is not obvious. Read ../../docs/public-harness-contract.md for schemas and artifact policy.

Roles

  • primary-agent: owns scope, architecture, and human communication.
  • delegated-executor: performs bounded implementation or mechanical work.
  • reviewer: independently tests and judges a stable candidate.
  • synthesizer: structures completed inputs without reopening discovery.

The host chooses the adapter for each role. Do not put provider or model names in the public role field.

Use this skill when

  • Two or more independent task packets can run in parallel.
  • Implementation and independent review must be separate.
  • A fan-out/fan-in or diamond DAG materially shortens the critical path.
  • Several results require explicit reconciliation and acceptance.

Do not split exploratory debugging before the cause is known. Do not split a small coherent change merely to create agent activity.

Inputs

  • Goal and authorized scope.
  • Success criteria.
  • Files, systems, and external actions in/out of scope.
  • Available policy_ref and checkpoint_ref when any child may be spawned.
  • Existing recorded human decisions and evidence refs.

If scope or acceptance is ambiguous, ask one focused question. Do not invent permission for external writes.

Workflow

  1. Confirm the repository/worktree root.
  2. Restate the goal and scope.
  3. Identify task boundaries by work character and evidence dependencies.
  4. Assign one role to each task.
  5. Build an acyclic dependency graph.
  6. Partition write scope. Two parallel writers must not own the same file.
  7. Add at least one runnable or objectively checkable success criterion per task.
  8. Write .coord/plan.yml using schema_version 2.
  9. Write .ai/task__.md for each non-inline task.
  10. Return the ready task ids and dependency order. Do not spawn.

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.
