What it does
Tasks is an agent skill from grandamenium/cortextos. You are about to start any meaningful piece of work — a research task, a build, a draft, a deployment, anything with a deliverable. Before you begin, create a task. During the work, mark it inprogress and write WORKING ON to daily memory. When done, complete it with a result summary and log a taskcompleted event. If you are blocked, set the task to blocked with the reason. If a human needs to do something first, assign it to them. Without a task, your work is invisible to the dashboard and the user.
Its SKILL.md is about 720 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The licence is MIT.
Example prompts
- “/tasks”
Workflow steps
5 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 6f93838. 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
Tasks loads about 723 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 128 tokens; SKILL.md has 191 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- create task, start task, new task, track work, log work, task system, task workflow, mark in progress, complete task, task blocked, assign task, list tasks…
Task System
Every significant piece of work must have a corresponding task. Tasks enable coordination, accountability, and measurable progress.
Task Types
- Agent tasks - Work executed autonomously by the assigned agent
- Human tasks - Requires human decision, input, or approval (assigned_to=human)
Lifecycle
1. Create (BEFORE starting work)
cortextos bus create-task "<title>" --desc "<description>" [--assignee <agent>] [--priority <p>] [--project <name>]2. Mark in progress
cortextos bus update-task <task_id> in_progress3. Execute the work
4. Complete
cortextos bus complete-task <task_id> --result "[output summary]"5. Log KPI (if measurable)
cortextos bus log-event task task_completed info --meta '{"task_id":"ID","kpi_key":"metric_name","value":1}'The needs_approval Field
true - external actions: sending emails, merging PRs, deploying, public announcements false - internal work: research, drafts, feature branches, testing
Tasks with needs_approval: true create an approval item that must be reviewed before executing external actions.
Script Reference
| Action | Command |
|---|---|
| Create | cortextos bus create-task "<title>" --desc "<desc>" [--assignee <a>] [--priority <p>] |
| List | cortextos bus list-tasks [--status S] [--agent A] [--priority P] |
| Update | cortextos bus update-task <id> <status> |
| Complete | cortextos bus complete-task <id> --result "[summary]" |
| Log event | cortextos bus log-event <category> <event> <severity> --meta '[json]' |
Statuses: pending, in_progress, blocked, completed
Priorities: urgent, high, normal, low
Best Practices
- Always create before starting - ensures tracking and coordination
- Be specific - clear titles, descriptions with success criteria
- Complete thoroughly - include what was accomplished and where outputs are
- Log KPIs - when work advances a measurable goal

Questions about Tasks
What does Tasks do?
You are about to start any meaningful piece of work — a research task, a build, a draft, a deployment, anything with a deliverable. Tasks is an agent skill from grandamenium/cortextos. You are about to start any meaningful piece of work — a research task, a build, a draft, a deployment, anything with a deliverable.
How do I install Tasks in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add grandamenium/cortextos --skill tasks -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (community/skills/tasks in grandamenium/cortextos) into .claude/skills/tasks in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Tasks in Codex?
Run `npx skills add grandamenium/cortextos --skill tasks -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (community/skills/tasks in grandamenium/cortextos) into .agents/skills/tasks in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Tasks in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add grandamenium/cortextos --skill tasks -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/tasks, .gemini/skills/tasks, .github/skills/tasks and .opencode/skills/tasks in your project.
What does Tasks need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Tasks is instructions for the agent only.
Does Tasks access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Tasks safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
What licence does Tasks use?
Tasks is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
How many tokens does Tasks use?
About 723 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
What are the alternatives to Tasks?
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Tasks: Piece Builder (activepieces/activepieces, 25k stars), Piece Output Schema (activepieces/activepieces, 25k stars), Meaningful Identifiers (hashintel/hash, 1.7k stars) and Talking Head And Piece To Camera (social-media-skills/skills, 128 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
Who maintains Tasks?
grandamenium (a GitHub user) maintains it in grandamenium/cortextos, which has 101 GitHub stars. The repository holds 55 skills in this directory. The repository was last updated on September 23, 2026.
