What it does

Task And Project is an agent skill from Sidiora-Labs/centra-gideon-agent. Track work as Tasks (the /api/tasks CRUD + native task provider), and decompose larger projects into independent, verifiable units — fanning parallel investigation out to subagents while keeping one coherent plan; hand open-ended goal-driven work to a goal loop.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Subagents. The repository describes itself as: The companion AI agent that learns, adapts and gets the work done no matter the task. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Subagents

Example prompts

  • “/task-and-project”

Workflow steps

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

  1. State the outcome in one sentence — what "done" looks like for the whole
  2. Break it into atomic units — each unit independently doable and
  3. Map dependencies — which units block which. Independent units can run in
  4. Assign an execution mode per unit
  5. Keep one coherent plan — track units and their state as Tasks so progress

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2176d5b. 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.

    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 And Project loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 580 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~70
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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.

Tasks & Projects

Bigger work is delivered by decomposing it into small, independently verifiable units, tracking those units as Tasks, and then executing them — some inline, some in parallel, some as an autonomous goal-driven loop.

Tasks — the unit of tracked work

A Task is a tracked, persisted unit of work with a title, description, status, and dependency links. Tasks live in the Tasks entity, backed by the native task provider and exposed over the /api/tasks CRUD:

  • GET /api/tasks / GET /api/tasks/{task_id} — list / fetch.
  • POST /api/tasks — create a task.
  • PATCH /api/tasks/{task_id} — update title, description, or status.
  • DELETE /api/tasks/{task_id} — remove a task.
  • GET /api/tasks/{task_id}/comments / POST — task discussion.
  • GET /api/tasks/graph — the dependency graph (which tasks block which).

The dashboard Tasks page is the primary surface — create, organize, and watch status there. Use Tasks to make a decomposition visible and durable: one task per atomic unit, dependencies recorded, status updated as work progresses so nothing is dropped.

Project decomposition discipline

Before executing anything non-trivial, decompose:

  1. State the outcome in one sentence — what "done" looks like for the whole project.
  2. Break it into atomic units — each unit independently doable and independently verifiable. If a unit can't be checked on its own, it's still too big; split it. Record each as a Task.
  3. Map dependencies — which units block which. Independent units can run in parallel; dependent ones must be sequenced. Record the edges in the task graph so the order is explicit.
  4. Assign an execution mode per unit:
    • trivial / fast / shared-context → do it inline.
    • independent investigation or an isolated long task → subagent_run (parallelize the independent ones).
    • open-ended "grind until the goal is met" → a goal loop (see below).
  5. Keep one coherent plan — track units and their state as Tasks so progress is visible. Integrate results back into the whole as units complete; don't just accumulate fragments.

Goal loops — autonomous execution toward a goal

When the work is open-ended toward a definition of done — "grind on this until it's met", a continuous-improvement target, a north-star objective — hand it to a goal loop rather than driving it step-by-step yourself. A goal loop classifies the target, decomposes it, then runs one self-directed cycle per turn until a deterministic supervisor (or a separate judge) decides the goal is met, at which point it self-retires. Goal loops are the unified autonomous goal engine; manage them from the dashboard Goal Loops page. The per-cycle worker protocol lives in the loop-worker skill.

Use a goal loop instead of trying to specify every step up front: you set the goal and the definition of done, the loop decides direction each cycle.

Parallel work with subagents

When several units are independent (no shared mutable state, no ordering dependency), run them concurrently with subagent_run — e.g. investigate three candidate root causes at once, or research several sub-questions in parallel — then synthesize the returns. Keep each subagent's task self-contained with its own clear deliverable so the results compose cleanly. (See delegation for the spawn-vs-inline cost rule — don't spawn for trivial work.)

Discipline

  • One unit = one verifiable step. Resist doing "the whole thing" in a single uncontrolled pass.
  • Define done before starting — for the project and for each unit.
  • Track it as a Task — a unit that isn't recorded gets dropped.
  • Don't fan out work that shares mutable state — parallel workers stepping on the same files race. Parallelize only genuinely independent units.
  • Re-plan when reality diverges — if a unit reveals the breakdown was wrong, update the plan and the tasks rather than forcing the old one.
