  • Works in 8 steps: Orient → Incremental Requirements Elicitation → Impact Analysis → …

What it does

Long Task Increment is an agent skill from suriyel/longtaskforagent. Use when increment-request.json exists - collect incremental requirements, perform impact analysis, update design, and decompose new features

Its SKILL.md is about 4.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

When your agent uses it

  • Increment-request.json exists - collect incremental requirements
  • Perform impact analysis
  • Decompose new features

Example prompts

  • “/long-task-increment”

Workflow steps

8 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Orient
  2. Incremental Requirements Elicitation
  3. Impact Analysis
  4. Design Revision
  5. UCD Revision (UI projects only)
  6. SRS Update & Feature Decomposition
  7. Update Auxiliary Files
  8. Finalize

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ca67fe1. 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
    • git

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, 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

Long Task Increment loads about 4.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,937 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~4.3k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,937 words (~4,350 tokens).

“Add new requirements, modify existing ones, or deprecate features in a live project. All changes are written back into the existing SRS/Design/UCD documents (tracked via git history), and new features are appended to feature-list.json with wave metadata.”
