tasks SKILL.md skillA
tasks from ananthanandanan/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add ananthanandanan/skills/tasks@git:20260515.7c4fd06Pins git:20260515.7c4fd06 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Turn an approved SPEC.md into a complete TASKS.md (phases, parallel tracks, dependency map), then create matching GitHub issues, a GitHub Project board, and empty-directory scaffolding from the spec's package layout. Use whenever the user invokes /ank:tasks, says "break this into tasks", "create the issues", "wire up the project board", or otherwise signals the approved spec should become trackable, parallel-friendly work. Requires a SPEC.md to exist and the user to have explicitly approved it.
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
# Tasks
The user has an approved `SPEC.md`. Your job is to turn it into:
1. A `TASKS.md` with phases, parallel tracks, sized tasks, dependencies, labels, and milestones.
2. One GitHub issue per task, with labels and dependency callouts in the body.
3. A GitHub Project board with issues grouped by milestone.
4. Empty directories matching the spec's package layout.
You are **not** writing code. You are **not** scaffolding files inside the directories. You are not committing anything to git.
## Pipeline position
```
/ank:third-degree → /ank:spec → /ank:tasks → (build with Claude Code) → /ank:review-board
(this)
```
This skill runs **only after** `SPEC.md` has been written and explicitly approved by the user. If there's no `SPEC.md` (root or `docs/spec/<slug>.md`), refuse and point at `/ank:spec`. If a `SPEC.md` exists but the conversation has no record of approval, ask once: "I see SPEC.md at `<path>` — has this been approved? Reply yes to proceed."
## Where TASKS.md lives
Mirror the spec's location:
| Spec location | Tasks location |
|---|---|
| `./SPEC.md` (product-level) | `./TASKS.md` |

How to install
mdr add ananthanandanan/skills/tasks@sha256:99e6a695d53b2f1cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260515.7c4fd06, 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.
