Taskless Skills

A skills repository for agentic workflows, built for Claude Code and other Agent capable systems.

Includes a CLI that works with agentic systems (and humans too) at @taskless/cli.

Skill

Starting in v0.7, Taskless ships a single consolidated skill (taskless) plus a single /tskl slash command. The skill body is a small router; per-task instructions live behind npx @taskless/cli help <topic> and are fetched on demand.

Skill	Command	Description
taskless	/tskl <ask>	Router for any Taskless action (create rule, improve,
		delete, check, auth, CI). Fetches the canonical recipe
		for the user's intent and follows it.

Available taskless help topics: rule create, rule improve, rule delete, check, auth, ci, info, init, update. Append --anonymous for the local-only flow on rule create/improve.

CLI

The @taskless/cli package provides a CLI agent for Taskless workflows. It's recommended to always call the latest tag unless you know you need a specific version:

pnpm dlx @taskless/cli@latest info
npx @taskless/cli@latest info

Releasing taskless/skills

Releases use Changesets with Turborepo for orchestration.

Release process

Start from a clean repo (no uncommitted changes), then:

pnpm bump               # Bump versions and sync skill metadata
pnpm build              # Build CLI and generate commands
pnpm test               # Run all tests, confirm no errors
git add -A              # Stage all changes
git commit -m "chore: Releases vx.y.z"  # Commit with new version number
pnpm release            # Dry run — prints publish command when ready

Adding a new topic recipe

In v0.7+, new agent-facing instructions are added as recipes, not skills. To add a recipe:

1. Create packages/cli/src/help/<topic>.txt following the canonical template (Goal / Preconditions / Steps / Input schema / Errors / See Also).
2. Use {{CLI_VERSION}} and {{INPUT_SCHEMA}} placeholders for runtime interpolation.
3. For topics with a substantively different local-only flow, add <topic>.anonymous.txt. The help command's variant lookup is automatic.
4. Update the topic table in skills/taskless/SKILL.md and commands/tskl/tskl.md so agents can discover the new topic.

Distribution channels

• taskless init — CLI installs the consolidated skill to .claude/skills/taskless/ and the command to .claude/commands/tskl/
• Claude Code Plugin Marketplace — .claude-plugin/marketplace.json and plugin.json
• Vercel Skills CLI — npx skills add discovers skills from skills/ directory
