At a glance

Spec-driven workflow for non-trivial work. An agent skill from ikarenkov/Modo.

  • Works in 8 steps: User describes a non-trivial piece of… → Agent proposes the task workflow ("this… → User confirms → create… → …
  • The user asks for architectural analysis
  • SKILL.md covers When to use this workflow, Folder layout, What goes in each file and Status lifecycle, plus 4 more sections
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Task Workflow is an agent skill from ikarenkov/Modo. Spec-driven workflow for non-trivial work. Scaffolds a tasks/<kebab-name/ folder with overview/analysis/spec/plan/log docs; completion produces an ADR under adr/. Use when the user asks for architectural analysis, multi-step refactor planning, investigations that span sessions, or any work that would benefit from a durable design record. Skip for trivial fixes, typos, or obviously-specified single-file edits — just do those directly.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k 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 Development, covering Architecture decision records, Spec-driven development and Project scaffolding. It works with Jetpack Compose, Kotlin and Android. The repository describes itself as: Navigation library based on UDF principles.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for architectural analysis
  • Multi-step refactor planning
  • Investigations that span sessions
  • Any work that would benefit from a durable design record

Example prompts

  • “/task-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. User describes a non-trivial piece of work.
  2. Agent proposes the task workflow ("this looks like X, want to scaffold a task?").
  3. User confirms → create tasks//00-overview.md with status exploring or design in progress.
  4. Agent populates 01-analysis.md from code reading.
  5. Agent and user converge on design through discussion; 02-spec.md and 04-log.md get written together (one captures the settled design, the…
  6. 03-plan.md lists phased steps.
  7. User agrees → status → implementation in progress → code. Tick 03-plan.md items as each lands ([x]); mark cancelled/superseded items [-]…
  8. Code merged → run pre-completion review → status → complete → write ADR (including Follow-ups if any) → delete/commit task folder.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1f75c11. 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 markdown).

    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 Workflow loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,168 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,168 words (~2,427 tokens).

“Spec-driven development for non-trivial work. Every task is a self-contained folder holding the context, analysis, design, plan, and rationale for one piece of work.”
