What it does

Task Management is an agent skill from w95/awesome-claude-corporate-skills. Simple task management using a shared TASKS.md file. Reference this when the user asks about their tasks, wants to add/complete tasks, or needs help tracking commitments.

Its SKILL.md is about 650 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 Productivity & Automation, covering Task management. The repository describes itself as: 166 production-ready Claude AI skills organized by corporate role — executive leadership, finance, HR, marketing, sales, legal, operations, engineering, product, data, customer…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks about their tasks
  • Wants to add/complete tasks
  • Needs help tracking commitments

Example prompts

  • “/task-management”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Check if dashboard.html exists in the current working directory
  2. If not, copy it from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dashboard.html to the current working directory
  3. Inform the user: "I've added the dashboard. Run /productivity:start to set up the full system."

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 78dbc7c. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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 Management loads about 646 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 332 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~646

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.

description
Simple task management using a shared TASKS.md file. Reference this when the user asks about their tasks, wants to add/complete tasks, or needs help tracking commitments.

Task Management

Tasks are tracked in a simple TASKS.md file that both you and the user can edit.

File Location

Always use TASKS.md in the current working directory.

  • If it exists, read/write to it
  • If it doesn't exist, create it with the template below

Dashboard Setup (First Run)

A visual dashboard is available for managing tasks and memory. On first interaction with tasks:

  1. Check if dashboard.html exists in the current working directory
  2. If not, copy it from ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dashboard.html to the current working directory
  3. Inform the user: "I've added the dashboard. Run /productivity:start to set up the full system."

The task board:

  • Reads and writes to the same TASKS.md file
  • Auto-saves changes
  • Watches for external changes (syncs when you edit via CLI)
  • Supports drag-and-drop reordering of tasks and sections

Format & Template

When creating a new TASKS.md, use this exact template (without example tasks):

markdown
# Tasks

## Active

## Waiting On

## Someday

## Done

Task format:

  • - [ ] **Task title** - context, for whom, due date
  • Sub-bullets for additional details
  • Completed: - [x] ~~Task~~ (date)

How to Interact

When user asks "what's on my plate" / "my tasks":

  • Read TASKS.md
  • Summarize Active and Waiting On sections
  • Highlight anything overdue or urgent

When user says "add a task" / "remind me to":

  • Add to Active section with - [ ] **Task** format
  • Include context if provided (who it's for, due date)

When user says "done with X" / "finished X":

  • Find the task
  • Change [ ] to [x]
  • Add strikethrough: ~~task~~
  • Add completion date
  • Move to Done section

When user asks "what am I waiting on":

  • Read the Waiting On section
  • Note how long each item has been waiting

Conventions

  • Bold the task title for scannability
  • Include "for [person]" when it's a commitment to someone
  • Include "due [date]" for deadlines
  • Include "since [date]" for waiting items
  • Sub-bullets for additional context
  • Keep Done section for ~1 week, then clear old items

Extracting Tasks

When summarizing meetings or conversations, offer to add extracted tasks:

  • Commitments the user made ("I'll send that over")
  • Action items assigned to them
  • Follow-ups mentioned

Ask before adding - don't auto-add without confirmation.
