Maintains a repo-local task forest or task DAG for the current workspace. Use when the user asks to initialize or update a task forest, close a session, summarize evolving project work, align a request with a global goal, track progress/history/deviations/todos, save or apply a task proposal, or export the client-readable task-forest HTML. Do not use for executing the tracked tasks themselves or for generic HTML 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
# Task Forest ## Purpose Maintain the current workspace's task structure, proposals, history, and progress. Produce one standalone HTML deliverable that a first-time reader can understand without opening another task list or internal file. Use the user's language for task content, proposals, reports, and HTML. Default to Chinese when unknown. ## Portability This skill is agent-agnostic. Install the whole `task-forest` directory in any host-supported skill location, then resolve scripts, references, and assets from the directory containing this `SKILL.md`. Do not assume a specific agent name, skill root, home-directory layout, shell, path separator, or operating system. Use an available Python 3 launcher on the host (`python3`, `python`, or `py -3`). The scripts use the Python standard library and support macOS, Linux, and Windows. To label task history with the calling agent, set `COMPASS_AGENT_NAME` or `AGENT_NAME`, or pass `--actor`; otherwise the neutral value `agent` is used. ## Core Rules 1. Read and write task-forest data only through `scripts/task_forest.py`; never hand-edit `.agent-workbench/task-forest/` canonical files. …

How to install
mdr add dongshuyan/compass-skills/task-forest@sha256:dbcf83b785963a4aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.1b2e556, 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.
