Task

skill

Use when a user notices incidental work during development (stale config, tech debt, dead code, test gaps) they want to defer without losing context, says "task"/"todo"/"follow-up"/"we should come back to this", or runs /add-task, /do-tasks, /list-tasks, or /promote-tasks. ALSO use when the user starts work on an existing tracker issue by naming its key — "work on PRE-683", "let's do ABC-142", "pick up ENG-9", or pasting a Jira/Linear issue URL — because the issue must be claimed (assigned to the user, moved to its tracker's started state) before work begins.

Security audit

Not scanned yet. We audit npm-published capabilities for known advisories, install-time scripts and permission surface; this one has no npm package we can resolve, or has not reached the queue.

Its own instructions

Its SKILL.md says when to use it, shows worked examples, covers setup and states a limitation.

Read from the capability’s own SKILL.md. This is not a grade and does not compare to the instruction-depth verdict on an MCP server — a skill has no tools to document, so that rubric does not apply to it.

You searched for one. Check the rest of your stack:

npx tashan-cli doctor

Reads the config already on your machine and names what is dead, deprecated or running code at install time. No account, nothing uploaded.

Everything on this page is public evidence and free. What it cannot know is whether you run this — check your whole config, free, in the browser. tashan Pro adds the series behind each row and names a replacement for anything dying.

Already running this? Check your whole config — free, in your browser, nothing installed. Or npx tashan-cli doctor locally, which sends nothing at all.
