Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

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.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned anthropics/knowledge-work-plugins at da38ec1ee8.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The task-management skill helps AI agents organize, prioritize, and track tasks efficiently. It enables users to break down complex workflows into manageable steps, set deadlines, assign responsibilities, and monitor progress in real time.

When to use it

  • Managing a project with multiple interdependent tasks
  • Tracking daily or weekly goals for personal productivity
  • Coordinating team assignments during collaborative work

Key capabilities

  • Task creation and categorization
  • Deadline tracking and reminders
  • Progress monitoring and status updates
  • Assignment of tasks to individuals or teams

Example prompts

  • "Create a task list for launching a new product, with deadlines for each phase."
  • "Assign the 'design prototype' task to Sarah and set a deadline for Friday."
  • "Show me the progress on all open tasks in my project management board."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure that all team members have access to the task-tracking system to maintain consistency. While the tool is great for organization, it requires regular updates to remain effective.
