What it does
Ss Tasks is an agent skill from Serial-Studio/Serial-Studio. Phase 3 of Serial Studio's spec-driven workflow: decompose an approved plan.md into an ordered, individually-verifiable task checklist (tasks.md). Use after /ss-plan is approved, or "break this into tasks", "task it out". Gates on human approval before /ss-implement.
Its SKILL.md is about 710 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 Agent Workflows, covering Spec-driven development. The repository describes itself as: Open-source telemetry dashboard. Supports UART, BLE, MQTT, Modbus, CAN Bus and more.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Spec-driven development
Example prompts
- “break this into tasks”
- “task it out”
- “/ss-tasks”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Read spec.md and plan.md. The tasks must cover every file in the plan's affected-
- Copy the template and write the tasks
- Decompose well
- Fill the Definition of Done — the whole-feature gate (code-verify clean, qt-cpp-review
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3657d2c. 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:
python
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
Ss Tasks loads about 707 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 330 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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 330 words (~707 tokens).
“Decompose the approved plan.md into an ordered checklist of small, individually-verifiable units. Each task is a coherent diff a reviewer could read on its own. See doc/claude/spec-driven.md for the gate discipline.”
