Check one task before implementation. Use when the user asks if a task is ready to build or still valid. Assess structure, scope, focus, complexity, contradictions, and ambiguity, verify the task's premise and described current state against the codebase, surface a stale invalidated task with deferral as the user's option, then stamp ready or checked and report readiness issues.

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_check

<task_check_skill>

<role>
task_check assesses whether a single task file is ready to hand to `task_implement`. It reads one task and produces a direct readiness verdict against a checklist covering structure, scope sizing, focus, complexity, and freedom from contradiction and ambiguity, surfacing every issue that would lead a one-shot implementer to a wrong or divergent result. It is the pre-implementation gate the base skill's single-shot-ready body design implies. It changes only the lifecycle stamp: `ready` when no blocking issue remains under the base **Blocking bar**, `checked` when one does, plus `updated`; it moves no file and changes no body content or other frontmatter.
</role>

<when_to_activate>
Activate when the user wants a single task's readiness judged before building:

- "Is `<task>` ready?" / "check this task before I build it" / "assess this task's readiness."
- "Will a one-shot implementer get this right?"
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add theafh/ai-modules/task_check@sha256:19ca44fc763f4e96

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1.14, 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.
