What it does
Taskmaster is an agent skill from lili-luo/aicoding-cookbook. Unified task execution protocol for Codex-only work. Supports Single Task, Epic Task, and Batch Task while preserving CSV truth-source, validation gates, context recovery, and Debug-First failure exposure. WHEN TO USE: user asks to "track tasks", "create todo list", "make a plan", "track progress", "long task", "big project", "build from scratch", "autonomous session", "跟踪任务", "自主执行", "长时任务", "从零开始", "任务管理", "做个计划", "大工程", or when a task clearly requires 3+ ordered steps that produce file changes. DO NOT USE…
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 12 other files, including assets (for example `assets/BATCH_TEMPLATE.md`, `assets/EPIC_TEMPLATE.md` and `assets/EXAMPLES.md`).
It sits in Development, covering CSV and tabular files, Task management and Codebase onboarding.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve CSV and tabular files
- Tasks that involve Task management
- Tasks that involve Codebase onboarding
Example prompts
- “track tasks”
- “create todo list”
- “make a plan”
- “/taskmaster”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The current truth artifact on disk wins over memory.
- No step, subtask, or batch row becomes DONE without explicit validation.
- Keep verbose reasoning in PROGRESS.md, EPIC.md, or batch output files, not in the chat.
- Keep failures visible. Do not silently downgrade to manual or serial execution.
- Keep planning CSVs and batch worker CSVs separate.
- Build for Codex-only recovery: a cold restart must be resumable from files alone.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit beb8270. 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 csv).
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
Taskmaster loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 170 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,143 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,143 words (~2,900 tokens).
“Taskmaster is the default execution protocol for multi-step Codex work. v5 keeps the existing Debug-First core while expanding the skill into three task shapes:”
- name
- taskmaster
- version
- 5.0.0
