tasks

tasks is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zexion7873/copilot-setting. It costs 76 tokens per session (761 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A task-decomposition skill that turns an approved implementation plan into small, ordered tasks with dependencies, estimates, and acceptance-criteria links.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break a planned feature into T### tasks, mark tasks that can run in parallel, and identify tasks needing user sign-off.
Why use it?
It prevents work from being started without a clear source plan and makes the implementation sequence easier to follow and check.

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

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 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.

Tasks — Workflow

Atomic task decomposition from an approved plan.

Phase 1 — Parse Source

Locate the approved plan at docs/plans/<feature>/plan.md (the plan skill writes there, one folder per feature/change). If the user named a feature, read that folder's plan.md. If exactly one plan folder exists, use it. If none exists or the source is ambiguous, stop and ask — do not invent a task list from scratch; redirect to the plan skill when no plan exists yet.

From the plan, extract: phases/goals, file list, dependencies, constraints, and Acceptance Criteria (AC-NNN). Record the plan's path in the source: field of the output.

Phase 2 — Decompose

Break each phase into atomic tasks. Each task must be:

  • One action: a single file change or closely related set
  • Verifiable: clear done-when condition
  • Estimated: S (< 30 min) / M (30–120 min) / L (> 2 hours)

Phase 3 — Order by Dependency

  1. Build dependency graph (T001 must complete before T002)
  2. Mark parallel-safe tasks with [P]
  3. Mark tasks requiring user sign-off with [US]
  4. Number sequentially: T001, T002, ...

Phase 4 — Validate

  • Every task maps to ≥1 requirement
  • Every requirement maps to ≥1 task
  • Every plan Acceptance Criterion (AC-NNN) is covered by ≥1 task
  • No circular dependencies
  • Size estimates on every task

Output Template

Write the task breakdown to tasks.md in the same feature folder as the source plan (docs/plans/<feature>/tasks.md), so the source: link resolves to the sibling ./plan.md.

# Task Breakdown

## Tasks

| ID | Task | Size | Depends On | Markers | Done When |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| T001 | <action on specific file/module> | S/M/L | — | | <verifiable condition> |
| T002 | ... | S | T001 | | ... |
| T003 | ... | M | T001 | [P] | ... |
| T004 | ... | S | T002, T003 | [US] | ... |

### Markers

- `[P]` — parallel-safe at same dependency level
- `[US]` — requires user sign-off

## Dependency Graph

T001 → T002 → T004
T001 → T003 ──┘

## Coverage Matrix

Map every plan requirement AND Acceptance Criterion to the tasks that satisfy it.

| Plan item | Tasks |
|---|---|
| REQ-001 | T001, T002 |
| AC-001 | T001, T002 |
| AC-002 | T003 |

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.

tasks is a skill published in the GitHub repository zexion7873/copilot-setting (1 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 761 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.
