kanso-task SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

kanso-task from blakecyze/skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Use when the user wants a task done well rather than fast, wants a rough or underspecified request sharpened before it runs, or asks for a careful, principled pass at a piece of work.

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

# kanso-task

The user types `/kanso-task <rough request>`. This skill turns that rough request into a sharp prompt, then executes the task in the same chat with both `kanso-prompting` and `kanso-principles` standing as context. The output should be measurably better than what the user would have got from typing the same words into the chat directly.

Three phases:

- **Phase A — Clarify (only if needed).** Run the ambiguity pre-flight. If a trigger fires, ask one tight batch of questions and fold the answers in. If the input is already concrete — or the user waved the skip valve — go straight to formatting with no questions.
- **Phase B — Rewrite.** Apply the `kanso-prompting` rules to produce a sharp version of the prompt. Show it to the user. Wait for approval.
- **Phase C — Execute.** Run the rewritten prompt inline in the current chat. Any code produced during execution follows `kanso-principles`.

## Always run inline

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add blakecyze/skills/kanso-task@sha256:27cde15047091280

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.d29810e, 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.
