define-task SKILL.md skillA

define-task from xopcai/xopc is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Define, create, or refine an explicitly requested persistent xopc Task with a verifiable Task Contract; do not use for ordinary one-off 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 definition

Use this skill only when the user explicitly asks to define, capture, create, or refine a persistent
xopc Task. Complete ordinary implementation and one-off requests directly without creating a Task.

## Build the Task Contract

Express the requested result through the current Task Contract fields:

- `objective`: the observable result;
- `expectedOutputs`: concrete deliverables;
- `acceptanceCriteria`: checks that prove completion;
- `constraints`: material boundaries, prohibitions, or required conditions.

Preserve user-stated assumptions, risks, approval requirements, priority, Project association, and
dependencies when they are available. Do not invent authority or success criteria that materially
change the request.

## Persist safely

1. Use repository and conversation context to make the contract concrete.
2. Ask one concise question only when a missing result, acceptance criterion, or boundary would
   materially change the Task.
3. Load the `xopc_use` manual before a non-trivial Task mutation.
4. List and inspect current Tasks before creating one when duplication is plausible. Refine a

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add xopcai/xopc/define-task@sha256:31e88f9f22bcd2c1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.b7327d9, 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.
