Automated summary
Displays tasks that are ready to work on, sorted by priority, and highlights the top task as the suggested next action.
Strengths
- Automatically filters out blocked and in-progress tasks
- Sorts by priority (critical, high, normal, low, backlog)
- Clearly highlights the suggested next task
Limitations
- Requires tasks to be pre-created with appropriate statuses
- Only displays tasks; does not create or modify them
- Priority levels rely on a numeric convention (0-4)
When you want to know what to work on next or which tasks are unblocked.
When you need to create or update tasks, or want a full overview of all statuses.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill only uses a read-only MCP tool to list tasks; no dangerous commands or data exfiltration.
No concerns found
How this analysis is madeExamples
/tk:readyWhat tasks are ready to work on?Show me unblocked tasks sorted by priority.name: tk-ready description: Show ready-to-work tasks with no blockers. Use when user says /tk:ready or asks what to work on, what's next, available tasks, or unblocked tasks.
Show Ready Tasks
Display tasks that are ready to work on (not blocked, not in progress, not done).
Instructions
- Use the
tk_listMCP tool withstatus: "ready"filter - Sort by priority (critical first, then high, normal, low, backlog)
- Highlight the top task as the suggested next action
- Show task ID, description, and priority level
Output Format
## Ready to Work (X tasks)
**Suggested next:** [highest-priority-task-id] - Description
Other ready tasks:
- [task-id] Description (priority)
- [task-id] Description (priority)
Priority Levels
- 0 = critical (urgent)
- 1 = high (important)
- 2 = normal (default)
- 3 = low (when time permits)
- 4 = backlog (future consideration)
Notes
- If no ready tasks exist, check for blocked tasks and explain what's blocking progress
- Suggest using
tk task start <id>to begin working on a task
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/show-ready-tasks-mm8o52ju/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/show-ready-tasks-mm8o52ju' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/show-ready-tasks-mm8o52ju/download' --output '.skill-downloads/show-ready-tasks-mm8o52ju/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/show-ready-tasks-mm8o52ju/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/show-ready-tasks-mm8o52ju/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.
Official OpenSkills installationopenskills install './.skill-downloads/show-ready-tasks-mm8o52ju'openskills read 'show-ready-tasks-mm8o52ju'Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.
For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/show-ready-tasks-mm8o52ju/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
