Stage 3 of the SDD pipeline — turn a ZettelFlow plan (in a GitHub issue comment) into an ordered TDD task checklist posted as a second issue comment.

  • Calls npm
  • Tasks that involve Task breakdown

What it does

Tasks is an agent skill from RafaelGB/Obsidian-ZettelFlow. Stage 3 of the SDD pipeline — turn a ZettelFlow plan (in a GitHub issue comment) into an ordered TDD task checklist posted as a second issue comment. Each task has the failing test to write first and the guardrail that proves it. Use after a plan comment exists and the user says "break this into tasks", "make the task list", or "tasks for issue

Its SKILL.md is about 570 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 Testing & QA, covering Test-driven development, Task breakdown and Failing and flaky tests. It works with GitHub, Obsidian and npm. The repository describes itself as: ZettelFlow is a plugin for Obsidian that helps you to create and manage your notes in a Zettelkasten way. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Test-driven development
  • Tasks that involve Task breakdown
  • Tasks that involve Failing and flaky tests

Example prompts

  • “break this into tasks”
  • “make the task list”
  • “/tasks”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0676350. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 573 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 282 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~573

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.

Stage 3 of the SDD pipeline — turn a ZettelFlow plan (in a GitHub issue comment) into an ordered TDD task checklist posted as a second issue comment. Each task has the failing test to write first and the guardrail that proves it. Use after a plan comment exists and the user says "break this into tasks", "make the task list", or "tasks for issue

/tasks — break the plan into a TDD checklist (issue comment)

Stage 3 of the SDD pipeline. Given a plan comment on a GitHub issue, post a second comment with an ordered, dependency-aware task checklist — each task is one red→green→refactor cycle and, ideally, one commit that leaves npm run verify green.

No local files — the task list lives in the GitHub issue as a comment.

Owner

Delegate to the implementation-planner agent (same agent as /plan — it already holds context from reading the issue).

Steps

The agent posts a comment containing a task checklist. For each task:

  • - [ ] **Tn**: <name> — what gets done
  • Red — the exact test file and what it asserts (cite the FR/AC it covers)
  • Green — the minimal change to pass it
  • Guardrail — always npm run verify; add npm run lint:obsidian (no new violations) for score work; es.ts/en.ts parity for i18n work
  • Commit — the Conventional Commit line

The last task is always to walk the spec's How to verify script end to end and correct it where it no longer describes what shipped. A step that turned out to be automatable becomes a test in that task, not a note for later.

Ends with a Definition of done block (all tasks checked, ACs met, the verification script walked, quality audit + reviewer clean, docs + en/es synced, issue listed in the PR's Closes set).

Right-sizing

  • A task should be completable and committable in one sitting; split if not.
  • Pure-logic units (DTOs, flow traversal, utils) get real unit tests. React components / modals / Canvas patcher are integration territory — note how each is verified rather than pretending a unit test exists.

Quality bar (the stage-3 gate)

Every task is test-first, small, and independently verifiable. Then run /implement <issue #>.
