What it does

Task Management is an agent skill from chenhg5/agencycli. Create, assign, monitor, and close tasks across agents. Covers full task lifecycle — add, priority, dependencies, confirm-request, retry, cancel, bulk ops, and cross-agent search.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Task management and Scheduled and recurring tasks. The repository describes itself as: Lightweight CLI to build self-managing AI agent teams. Define roles, skills & projects in Markdown+YAML — agents run autonomously on a heartbeat schedule, talk to each other via…

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Task management
  • Tasks that involve Scheduled and recurring tasks

Example prompts

  • “/task-management”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ba8b693. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Task Management loads about 2.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 438 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~49
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 438 words (~2,520 tokens).

“Use this skill when your role involves planning, delegating, and tracking work across agents. The agency workspace is at $AGENCY_DIR.”
