What it does
Mdtask Add is an agent skill from syabro/mdtask. ALWAYS invoke this skill when user asks to add, create, or track a task — including indirect requests like "make a task for X", "add a task for this", "we need a task to...". Never add tasks manually by editing spec files. Handles full workflow — collect requirements, pick or create the spec, propose text, get approval, save, assign ID, commit.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: The spec-driven development system where specs and tasks live in your repo and never drift from the code.
When your agent uses it
- Track a task — including indirect requests like make a task for X
- Add a task for this
- We need a task to...
Example prompts
- “make a task for X”
- “add a task for this”
- “we need a task to...”
- “/mdtask-add”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Listen
- Clarify
- Choose the spec
- Propose
- Save and assign IDs (only after a yes)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fe28740. 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
Mdtask Add loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 493 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 493 words (~1,235 tokens).
“User says "add a task", "create a task", "new task", "I need a task for...", or describes a feature/bug/idea to track. Handles one task or a batch of tasks in a new spec.”
