# Assess Task

> Use when you need a structured read on what a coding task actually demands — before routing it to a coder, sizing it, or scoring it — e.g. "how hard/creative/mechanical is this", "profile this task", "what does this work need", or /assess-task. Scores a task description along stable dimensions (complexity, creativity, scope, autonomy, speed/cost sensitivity, verification criticality) and returns a compact taskprofile block plus a routing label. Pure assessment — it never picks a model, sizes, or dispatches; select-coder, break-down-task, and promote-tasks consume its output.
