What it does

Cas Task Tracking is an agent skill from codingagentsystem/cas. How to track work using CAS tasks instead of built-in TodoWrite. Use for persistent task tracking with priorities, dependencies, structured notes, and cross-session continuity.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Task management and Session handoff. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Multi-agent orchestration for Claude Code. Persistent memory, tasks, rules, and skills that make AI agents actually coordinate. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Persistent task tracking with priorities
  • Structured notes
  • Cross-session continuity

Example prompts

  • “/cas-task-tracking”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Create: mcpcastask action=create title="..." description="..." priority=2
  2. Start: mcpcastask action=start id=
  3. Progress: mcpcastask action=notes id= notes="..." note_type=progress
  4. Close: mcpcastask action=close id= reason="..."

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a0a4b5a. 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.

    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

Cas Task Tracking loads about 279 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 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
~279

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.

CAS Task Tracking

Use mcp__cas__task instead of built-in TodoWrite. CAS tasks persist across sessions.

Core Workflow

  1. Create: mcp__cas__task action=create title="..." description="..." priority=2
  2. Start: mcp__cas__task action=start id=<task-id>
  3. Progress: mcp__cas__task action=notes id=<task-id> notes="..." note_type=progress
  4. Close: mcp__cas__task action=close id=<task-id> reason="..."

Useful Actions

  • Ready tasks: mcp__cas__task action=ready — unblocked, actionable work
  • My tasks: mcp__cas__task action=mine — tasks assigned to you
  • Blocked: mcp__cas__task action=list status=blocked
  • Add dependency: mcp__cas__task action=dep_add id=<task> to_id=<blocker> dep_type=blocks

Note Types

progress, blocker, decision, discovery — use the right type so notes are meaningful in context.
