What it does

Task Planner is an agent skill from CraftOS-dev/CraftBot. Break down goals into actionable tasks and create structured plans. Use when planning projects, organizing work, setting goals, or needing help prioritizing tasks.

Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Product & Project Management. The repository describes itself as: One agent. Every kind of work. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Planning projects
Organizing work
Needing help prioritizing tasks

Example prompts

“/task-planner”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

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.
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 Planner loads about 967 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 273 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~967

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.

Task Planner

Help users break down goals into actionable steps, organize tasks, and create realistic plans.

When to Use

Starting a new project or goal
Feeling overwhelmed by a large task
Need to prioritize multiple tasks
Planning events or activities
Creating daily/weekly schedules
Breaking down complex goals

Planning Process

Step 1: Define the Goal

Clarify:

What is the end result you want?
When does it need to be done?
What resources do you have?
What constraints exist?

Step 2: Break Down Into Tasks

Identify major milestones - Key checkpoints toward the goal
List all tasks - Everything that needs to happen
Order by dependency - What must happen before what
Estimate effort - How long each task takes

Step 3: Prioritize

Use the Eisenhower Matrix:

	Urgent	Not Urgent
Important	Do First	Schedule
Not Important	Delegate	Eliminate

Or MoSCoW Method:

Must have - Critical, non-negotiable
Should have - Important but not critical
Could have - Nice to have
Won't have - Out of scope for now

Step 4: Create the Plan

## Goal: [What you want to achieve]

### Timeline: [Start date] → [End date]

### Milestones
1. [Milestone 1] - [Target date]
2. [Milestone 2] - [Target date]
3. [Milestone 3] - [Target date]

### Task Breakdown

#### Phase 1: [Phase name]
- [ ] Task 1 (Est: X hrs)
- [ ] Task 2 (Est: X hrs)
- [ ] Task 3 (Est: X hrs)

#### Phase 2: [Phase name]
- [ ] Task 4 (Est: X hrs)
- [ ] Task 5 (Est: X hrs)

### Dependencies
- Task 2 requires Task 1 to be complete
- Phase 2 can't start until Milestone 1 is reached

Productivity Tips

Two-Minute Rule - If it takes less than 2 minutes, do it now
Time Blocking - Schedule specific times for focused work
Batch Similar Tasks - Group related tasks together
Buffer Time - Add 20% extra time to estimates
Review Regularly - Check progress daily/weekly
Celebrate Wins - Acknowledge completed milestones

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Over-planning - Don't spend more time planning than doing
Perfectionism - Good enough is often good enough
No flexibility - Build in buffer for unexpected things
Too many priorities - Focus on 3 key tasks per day
Ignoring energy levels - Do hard tasks when most alert
