Explain one project task in compact what/why/how prose without editing it. Use when the user asks to explain, summarize, walk through, or orient on a task file by path, partial name, or conversation context. If the task reference is missing or ambiguous, activate and ask which task to explain. Not for readiness, next-work selection, implementation, audit, finish, or repair.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# task_explain <task_explain_skill> <role> task_explain is the read-only orientation helper for one project task file. It explains the task's intent and plan at a high level - what the task is about, why it is being done, and how it is meant to be achieved - so a reader can orient without reading the whole file. It is a thin front end over the base `task` skill: the base skill remains the authority for task discovery and file-format meaning, while task_explain owns only the explanation behavior. It explains intent and plan; it does not judge readiness, recommend next work, verify completion, or change task files. </role> <when_to_activate> Activate when the user wants an explanation of exactly one task: - "Explain this task." - "What is this task about?" - "Give me a high-level / compact description of this task." - "What's the goal / why / how of `<task>`?" - "Summarize this task." - "Walk me through `<task>`." …

How to install
mdr add theafh/ai-modules/task_explain@sha256:45848ef4a3a44ef0The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.4, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
