task-forest
Maintains a repo-local task forest or task DAG for the current workspace. Use when the user asks to initialize, update, close a session, summarize evolving project tasks, decide whether a new request is a global task or subtask, track task progress/history/deviations/todos, export a task graph HTML, or provide task data for gap-router/local-agent-control-room. Do not use for executing the tasks themselves.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Task Forest ## Language Policy **All output directed at the user — task titles, node fields, proposals, reports, questions, confirmations, and exported user-facing content — must be written in the user's language.** Detect the user's language from their message. Default to Chinese when unknown. Skill instructions are written in English; that does not affect the language of user-facing output. ##
What does the task-forest skill do?
Maintains a repo-local task forest or task DAG for the current workspace. Use when the user asks to initialize, update, close a session, summarize evolving project tasks, decide whether a new request is a global task or subtask, track task progress/history/deviations/todos, export a task graph HTML, or provide task data for gap-router/local-agent-control-room.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add dongshuyan/compass-skills --skill task-forest --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From dongshuyan/compass-skills, a repository with 675 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
