Manage tasks with Claude Code native tools — use to track TODOs, delegate work, and monitor progress.
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 Management & Orchestration (v7.23.0+)
## Overview
Systematic task orchestration for multi-step work, progress checkpointing, and seamless task resumption across sessions.
**Core principle:** Track → Checkpoint → Resume → Complete.
**v7.23.0 Migration:** This skill now uses native Claude Code Task tools:
- `TaskCreate` - Create new tasks
- `TaskUpdate` - Update task status/details
- `TaskList` - View all tasks
- `TaskGet` - Get specific task details
**Benefits:**
- ✅ Tasks show in native Claude Code UI
- ✅ Better progress tracking and visualization
- ✅ Consistent with Claude Code conventions
- ✅ No dependency on external TodoWrite tool
---
## When to Use
**Use this skill when user wants to:**
- Add items to the todo list
- Save current progress for later continuation
- Resume previously saved work
- Checkpoint progress in long-running tasks
- Proceed to next steps in a workflow
- Continue from where they left off
**Do NOT use for:**
- Creating git commits (use skill-finish-branch)
- Simple todo list queries ("what's on my list?")
- Task completion that involves pushing code

How to install
mdr add nyldn/claude-octopus/skill-task-management@sha256:1e355729685b5c4aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.14437ae, 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.
