Purpose
This agent provides structured task management and workflow automation for AI coding assistants like Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Cursor. It transforms complex AI prompts into organized, step-by-step development processes.

Security Assessment
The tool poses a Low overall security risk. It does not request any dangerous system permissions. There are no hardcoded secrets found in the codebase. A routine scan flagged `process.env` access, but this is safely isolated within a `jest.setup.js` file used exclusively for running automated tests, posing no threat to end users. Based on the provided audit, the agent does not exhibit malicious behaviors such as unauthorized network requests or silent shell command execution. It operates securely within your existing AI subscriptions and local development environment.

Quality Assessment
The project demonstrates strong health and active maintenance. It is licensed under the standard MIT license, making it fully open source and safe for commercial and personal use. The repository is actively maintained, with its most recent code push occurring today. It also enjoys a respectable level of community trust for a niche developer tool, currently backed by 26 GitHub stars, and offers comprehensive documentation.

Verdict
Safe to use.

Dashboard

Strikethroo: extensible AI-powered plan and task management with customizable workflows and structured development processes.

Transform complex AI prompts into organized, executable workflows through customizable hooks, templates, and progressive refinement. Works seamlessly within your existing AI subscriptions for Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Open Code.

🚀 Quick Start

This project ships in two parts: the skills (installed by vercel-labs/skills) and the workspace (initialized by this CLI). Run both:

# 1. Install the Strikethroo skills for your assistant
npx skills add e0ipso/strikethroo

# 2. Initialize the .ai/strikethroo/ workspace
npx strikethroo init --harnesses claude --destination-directory .

Note: the GitHub repository slug remains e0ipso/ai-task-manager for this release; the rename is tracked separately.

The skills give your assistant the planning, decomposition, and execution workflow; the CLI bootstraps .ai/strikethroo/ with hooks, templates, and the hash-tracked diff-on-conflict UX. Each step is independently re-runnable. See the migration guide for upgrade flows from 1.x.

The CLI's init emits the shared workspace plus harness-specific agents (e.g., .claude/agents/ for Claude). Other harnesses rely entirely on the installed skills.

✨ Key Benefits

  • 🔧 Fully Customizable: Tailor hooks, templates, and workflows to your project's specific needs
  • 🎯 Extensible Architecture: Add custom validation gates, quality checks, and workflow patterns
  • 📋 Structured Workflows: Three-phase progressive refinement with validation gates
  • 🔄 Plan Mode Integration: Enhance existing AI assistant features with structured task management
  • 📊 Plan Inspection & Management: View progress, archive completed work, and manage plans via CLI
  • 💰 Works Within Subscriptions: No additional API keys or costs required

  • Installation and configuration
  • Customization with hooks and templates
  • Workflow patterns and best practices
  • Architecture and design principles

🔄 Workflow Preview

Once the skills are installed, invoke the workflow by intent — the assistant auto-loads the matching skill. There are no slash commands to memorize.

Automated end-to-end run:

"Run the full workflow to create a user authentication system."

The st-full-workflow skill handles plan creation, task generation, and blueprint execution in a single pass.

Step-by-step (for manual review between phases):

  1. 📝 Create a plan → "Create a plan for a user authentication system" (st-create-plan skill)
  2. 🔍 Refine the plan → "Refine plan 1" (st-refine-plan skill — useful when a second assistant should red-team the plan)
  3. 📋 Generate tasks → "Generate tasks for plan 1" (st-generate-tasks skill)
  4. 🚀 Execute blueprint → "Execute the blueprint for plan 1" (st-execute-blueprint skill)
  5. 📊 Monitor progressnpx strikethroo status
  6. 🗂️ Manage plansnpx strikethroo plan show 1
