Judge how a memory changes active-task state and whether it refers to an existing task.

  • Works in 3 steps: **Does the candidate report OR INSTRUCT… → Otherwise, if the candidate describes… → Otherwise use none.

  • SKILL.md covers Active Task State and Existing Task Relation
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Judge Task Lifecycle is an agent skill from sno-ai/sno-station. Judge how a memory changes active-task state and whether it refers to an existing task. Use for mem-claw task-lifecycle model calls.

Its SKILL.md is about 680 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. The repository describes itself as: Sno Station — your Claude Code and Codex working as one squad on your own machine. Shared encrypted memory, agent-to-agent messaging (Reach), squad skills for handoff and… The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Mem-claw task-lifecycle model calls

Example prompts

  • “/judge-task-lifecycle”

Workflow steps

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

  1. **Does the candidate report OR INSTRUCT that an existing active task is done, finished,
  2. Otherwise, if the candidate describes work still to be done, use open_or_refine.
  3. Otherwise use none.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ad95c1c. 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

Judge Task Lifecycle loads about 679 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 414 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~679

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.

Judge Task Lifecycle

Judge task meaning. Do not decide from exact wording alone.

Active Task State

Apply the To-do Boundary section supplied from extract-atomic-memory before these state rules.

Decide in this order and stop at the first step that applies.

  1. Does the candidate report OR INSTRUCT that an existing active task is done, finished, handled, cancelled, or dropped? If yes, the answer is complete or remove on THAT task. Never open_or_refine, and never none. A report ("I finished X", "X is done") and an instruction ("mark X complete", "tick X off", "close X", "remove X from my list") both land here. An instruction to change a task's state IS the state change; do not treat it as a request you decline to act on. A candidate that speaks about an active task's ending is never a new task, however it is worded, and restating the task's name inside such a sentence is naming the task to close, not opening one.
  2. Otherwise, if the candidate describes work still to be done, use open_or_refine.
  3. Otherwise use none.
  • Use open_or_refine only for a current task that remains active.
  • Use complete only when the candidate says an active task was achieved.
  • Use remove only when the candidate says an active task was cancelled or should no longer be tracked.
  • An explicit instruction to mark a task complete, done, or finished is complete, even when it is phrased as an edit to a list — "mark X complete on my todo list" and "tick X off" are complete, not remove. Taking a finished task off a list is what completing it looks like; the words that decide are whether the work was done. Reserve remove for a task abandoned, cancelled, called off, no longer needed, or added by mistake — cases where the work will NOT happen.
  • Use none when the candidate does not change active-task state.
  • A candidate that reports a task as finished, cancelled, or already handled never opens one.
  • If that task is active, complete or remove it. If it is not active, make no task change.
  • Match tasks by meaning, not exact wording. Refine an existing task instead of opening a duplicate.

Existing Task Relation

  • Use same_instance when the assertion refers to one listed active task, including different wording with the same meaning.
  • Use distinct_instance when the assertion is a different active task.
  • Use none when the assertion does not describe an active-task relation.
  • Use uncertain when the evidence does not settle the relation.
