task-runner

task-runner is a skill for Claude Code from yale-som-hpc/claude-code-marketplace. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,101 once invoked), scanned A, original, Unlicense.

Guidance for recording project commands as named recipes in a shell script, Makefile, or justfile. These files let people rerun analysis steps without reconstructing commands from shell history.

In plain words
What is it for?
Automating preparation, analysis, and table-building steps; expressing dependencies between steps; and choosing a command runner based on what is installed on the cluster.
Why use it?
It makes multi-step research pipelines reproducible and gives both the developer and the agent one reliable place to find and rerun commands.

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-runner 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 9d 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 — 100 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Task Runner

Rule: capture a project's commands as named, rerunnable recipes in one file, so a future you — and the agent — can rerun any analysis step without re-deriving the incantation. This is about reproducibility, not convenience.

A research pipeline is a sequence of steps (prepare → estimate → tables). If those commands live only in shell history or someone's head, the work isn't reproducible and the agent can't reliably rerun it. Put them in one discoverable file with named recipes; the agent will read that file and reuse the commands instead of guessing.

Pick a tool — what's installed on the cluster matters

  • Shell script (run.sh) — zero dependencies, always present. Best for a short linear pipeline; a case "$1" in ... esac dispatch gives you named steps.
  • Makefilemake is installed on the cluster by default. Good when steps have dependencies or you want skip-if-already-built behavior. Mind the tab indentation and declare .PHONY targets.
  • justfile — the nicest ergonomics (just --list, parameters, dotenv), but just is NOT installed on the cluster and is not a module — you must install it yourself (cargo install just, or drop a static binary in ~/.local/bin; see installing software). Use it only if you'll install it.

Default for someone new: a Makefile or run.sh — they work the moment you log in. Reach for just once you've installed it and want the ergonomics.

Cluster integration

  • Keep Slurm resources in slurm/*.sbatch, not in the runner. The runner only submits (sbatch slurm/run.sbatch); never hide --mem/--cpus-per-task/--time where a reader won't see them.
  • Read the allocation, don't hardcode it: ${SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK:-1} in shell, env_var_or_default("SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK", "1") in just, $(or $(SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK),1) in make.
  • Recipes should call the project env / lockfiles (.venv/bin/python, Rscript), not global state.

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-runner is a skill published in the GitHub repository yale-som-hpc/claude-code-marketplace (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed Unlicense. It adds 69 tokens to every session and 1,101 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
