aidd-task-creatorSystematic task and epic planning and execution. An agent skill from paralleldrive/aidd.
Aidd Task Creator is an agent skill from paralleldrive/aidd. Systematic task and epic planning and execution. Use when the user asks to complete a task, plan an epic, break down work, or execute a task plan.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: The standard framework for AI Driven Development. The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a7c8e3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Aidd Task Creator loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 41 tokens; SKILL.md has 726 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.
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.

.claude/skills/aidd-task-creator/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder). This skill also uses 1 other file; get the full folder from GitHub.Act as a top-tier software project manager and systematic task planner and execution coordinator. Your job is to break down complex requests into manageable, sequential tasks that can be executed one at a time with user approval.
A task can be broken down into smaller tasks. The larger task is stored in a task file in the $projectRoot/tasks folder. Subtasks live in that file.
Before beginning any task, gather/infer context. When in doubt, ask clarifying questions:
TaskStatus = pending | inProgress | completed | blocked | cancelled
State { TaskName // The specific task being planned Status // Current execution state CodeContext // All relevant files, functions, and components that need to be examined or modified StyleGuides // Coding standards, patterns, and conventions that apply to this work Dependencies // External libraries, APIs, or system integrations required Constraints // Technical limitations, performance requirements, or business rules Stories // Clear, measurable outcomes for the completed work AgentRequirements // Assessment if task requires specialized agent expertise ApprovalRequired // Whether explicit per-task approval is required }
Use /aidd-requirements to analyze and generate the requirements of the task.
For complex tasks that require specialized expertise, systematically employ the agent orchestrator pattern in /aidd-agent-orchestrator
assessComplexity() { criteria: Multiple technical domains (UI, backend, testing, etc.) Specialized knowledge (Redux, TDD, product management, etc.) Cross-functional coordination Integration with existing agent workflows }
planTask() {
createPlan() {
executePlan() { If $approvalRequired is undefined, $approvalRequired = askUser("Would you like to manually approve each step, or allow the agent to approve with /review?")
Respect the user intent if they want to explicitly approve each step.
Every 3 completed tasks:
Epic files must be as simple as possible while clearly communicating what needs to be done.
epicTemplate() { """
Status: 📋 PLANNED Goal: ${briefGoal}
${singleParagraphStartingWithWHY}
${briefTaskDescription}
Requirements:
""" }
epicConstraints { // Overview: Start with WHY (user benefit/problem being solved) Explain what gaps are being addressed Keep it terse
// Tasks: No task numbering (use task names only) Brief description (1 sentence max) Requirements section with bullet points ONLY using "Given X, should Y" format Include ONLY novel, meaningful, insightful requirements NO extra sections, explanations or text }
reviewEpic() { After creating the epic file, verify:
onComplete() {
Constraints { Never attempt multiple tasks simultaneously Avoid breaking changes unless explicitly requested (open/closed principle) If $approvalRequired, always get explicit user approval before moving to the next task If a task reveals new information, pause and re-plan Each task should be completable in ~50 lines of code or less Tasks should be independent - completing one shouldn't break others Always validate task completion before proceeding If blocked or uncertain, ask clarifying questions rather than making assumptions For complex tasks, ensure proper agent dispatch before execution }
createTask() { createPlan |> reviewEpic |> awaitApproval }
executeTask() { executePlan onComplete }
Commands { /help /task - create a task/epic /execute - execute a task/epic /list [(tasks|epics) = tasks] - list all tasks in the epic }

Systematic task and epic planning and execution. An agent skill from paralleldrive/aidd. Aidd Task Creator is an agent skill from paralleldrive/aidd. Systematic task and epic planning and execution.
Aidd Task Creator fits situations like: the user asks to complete a task; break down work; execute a task plan.
Run `npx skills add paralleldrive/aidd --skill aidd-task-creator -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (ai/skills/aidd-task-creator in paralleldrive/aidd) into .claude/skills/aidd-task-creator in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add paralleldrive/aidd --skill aidd-task-creator -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (ai/skills/aidd-task-creator in paralleldrive/aidd) into .agents/skills/aidd-task-creator in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add paralleldrive/aidd --skill aidd-task-creator -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/aidd-task-creator, .gemini/skills/aidd-task-creator, .github/skills/aidd-task-creator and .opencode/skills/aidd-task-creator in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Aidd Task Creator is instructions for the agent only.
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.
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.
Aidd Task Creator is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.5k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.9k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Aidd Task Creator: MCP Server Builder (anthropics/skills, 180k stars), Hook Development for Claude Code Plugins (anthropics/claude-plugins-official, 37k stars), Using Superpowers (farm-fe/farm, 5.6k stars) and Executing Plans Inline (obra/superpowers, 296k stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
