write-task-todo

write-task-todo is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from yusifeng/formax. It costs 54 tokens per session (3,389 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning analysis of a large Formax software task into a structured checklist in docs/todolist.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning tasks that need multiple implementation rounds, reviews, commits, or coordination across interfaces and system layers.
Why use it?
It gives work shared across several parts of a project a clear order, boundaries, and test plan.

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

write-task-todo 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.

Write Task Todo

Use this skill after analyze-task and after the analysis has been discussed and aligned when a task is large enough to need multiple implementation loops, commits, reviews, or cross-layer coordination.

This skill turns an analysis result into a single working task document:

  • docs/todolist.md

Purpose

Create a todo that is:

  • structured
  • execution-friendly
  • test-aware
  • biased toward definitions and interfaces before UI

This skill is not for coding and not for long-form design writing.

Preflight gate for large cross-layer tasks

Before writing docs/todolist.md, use a short Decision Draft when the task crosses any of these Formax boundaries:

  • permissions / policy / approval / hooks
  • runtime config / persistent settings / credentials / secrets
  • tool runtime / prompt exposure / deferred exposure / ToolSearch
  • SDK / REPL / app-server / Web / Electron entrypoints
  • protocol boundaries, child processes, startup timing, session lifecycle, result mapping, files, binary payloads, or cleanup

Do not write the final todo until the Decision Draft is aligned. The draft should be short and must answer:

  • Storage and config source: where data lives, who reads it, and who must not read it.
  • Schema and strictness: accepted fields, rejected fields, default values, and unknown-field behavior.
  • Startup / activation timing: which entrypoint may create side effects and which phases are pure.
  • Permission model: whether existing Formax permission / approval / hook flow can express the behavior before adding new actions.
  • Capability level: whether the feature is a tool, slash command, SDK control, hook, transcript renderer, config setting, or prompt exposure behavior.
  • Entrypoints: REPL, SDK, app-server, Web, and Electron behavior.
  • Result / IO boundaries: output caps, file locations, binary/media handling, cleanup, secrets, and timeout behavior.
  • Non-goals: what is explicitly out of Phase 1 and what user-visible behavior that implies.

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.
