Automated safety checks
This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.
Declares what it does: passed
SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.
SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.
No undeclared network calls: passed
Makes no network calls.
Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.
No obfuscated payloads: passed
No encoded or obfuscated payloads.
No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.
No credential access: passed
Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.
Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.
No pipe-to-shell installers: passed
No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.
No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

About this skill
What it does
The generate-tasks skill allows an AI agent to break down larger goals into smaller, actionable tasks. It can create lists of steps needed to complete a project, assign priorities to those tasks, and even estimate the time required for each. This helps in planning and executing complex workflows more effectively.
When to use it
- Project Planning: Generate a list of tasks for launching a new website or organizing an event.
- Content Creation: Break down writing a blog post into steps like outlining, drafting, editing, and publishing.
- Personal Productivity: Create a task breakdown for learning a new skill or completing a home improvement project.
- Workflow Automation: Define the tasks needed to automate a repetitive process, such as onboarding a new employee.
Key capabilities
- Task generation from high-level goals
- Prioritization of generated tasks
- Time estimation for individual tasks
Example prompts
- "Generate a task list for planning a family vacation."
- "Break down the process of writing a marketing report into actionable steps, and estimate how long each will take."
- "Create a prioritized list of tasks to learn Python programming."
Tips & gotchas
The quality of the generated tasks depends heavily on the clarity and detail provided in the initial prompt. Be as specific as possible when describing the overall goal for best results.
