Next come Schedule and MemPalace Task Handoff.
Which task breakdown skills are official?
10 of the 232 task breakdown skills are official, published by the vendor's own GitHub organization: Task List, Swarm Parallel Dispatch, Cursor Orchestrate, Auditable Playbook Designer, Breakdown Test and 5 more.
How are these skills ranked?
By Skill Navigator score, which combines the GitHub stars of the skill's repository (shared across that repo's skills and discounted for large collections), how many other GitHub owners carry a copy of the skill, and automated SKILL.md quality checks, minus penalties for safety-check warnings and for each further skill from the same repository. Skills that fail the safety check are not listed.
