What it does

Dex is an agent skill from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot. Task tracking for async/multi-step work. Use dex to create, track, and complete tasks that span multiple sessions or require coordination (e.g., coding agent dispatches, PR reviews, background jobs). Tasks stored as JSON files in .dex/tasks/.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `_meta.json`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Task management, Pull requests and Background jobs. The repository describes itself as: One agent. Every kind of work. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b50970c. 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

Dex loads about 322 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 39 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~322

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

The full file from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot at commit b50970c, republished under its MIT licence (© CraftOS-dev). 39 words, ~322 tokens.

Dex Task Tracking

Track async work: coding agent dispatches, multi-step projects, anything needing follow-up.

Commands

bash

dex create -d "Description" --context "Background, goal, done-when"
dex list                    # Pending tasks
dex list --all              # Include completed
dex show <id>               # View task
dex show <id> --full        # Full context
dex complete <id> --result "What was done, decisions, follow-ups"
dex edit <id> --context "Updated context"
dex delete <id>

Task Structure

Description: One-line summary
Context: Background, requirements, done criteria
Result: What was built, decisions, follow-ups

Example

bash

# Before dispatching agent
dex create -d "Add caching to API" --context "Workspace: feat1 (100.x.x.x)
Branch: feat/cache
Done when: PR merged, CI green"

# After work complete
dex complete abc123 --result "Merged PR #50. Redis caching with 5min TTL."

Storage
