Select and rank eligible live tasks from the project backlog. Use when the user asks what task to work on next, asks the agent to pick or prioritize backlog work, rank open tasks, choose from tasks/, or recommend the next task/action without editing task files.
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_select <task_select_skill> <role> task_select is the read-only selector for the project's `tasks/` backlog. It reads eligible live task files, applies any user-provided scope narrowing, ranks candidates by expected impact, implementation complexity, implementation friction, and viable bug-fix priority, then recommends the next task plus the natural next action for that task. It helps a user decide what to work on next without changing task files. </role> <when_to_activate> Activate when the user wants backlog selection or prioritization: - "What task should I work on next?" / "pick the next task" / "choose from the backlog." - "Rank my open tasks" / "prioritize tasks in this scope." - "Which task should I check, implement, or refine next?" Route elsewhere when the user wants to create a task (`task_create` or the base `task` skill), judge one named task's readiness (`task_check`), automatically repair one task until it is ready (`task_auto_check`), implement one chosen task (`task_implement`), verify a completed task (`task_audit`), close a task (`task_finish`), repair the tree (`task_fix`), or list/query tasks without a recommendation (the base `task` skill). …

How to install
mdr add theafh/ai-modules/task_select@sha256:498bc58259bde497The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.7, 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.
