File contents

Task Classifier Skill

Analyzes task descriptions using keyword matching to suggest appropriate agent specializations.

Usage

./.claude/skills/task-classifier/classify-task.sh "Task description"

Classification Categories

Category	Keywords	Use Case
frontend	ui, ux, react, component, css, styling, layout, responsive, interface	UI/UX development
backend	api, endpoint, server, database, rest, graphql, service, authentication	Server-side development
devops	docker, kubernetes, ci/cd, deployment, infrastructure, container, pipeline	Infrastructure work
testing	test, qa, validation, coverage, integration, unit, e2e	Quality assurance
security	security, auth, encryption, vulnerability, audit, penetration	Security work
data	database, sql, migration, schema, data, model, entity	Data modeling
performance	performance, optimization, speed, cache, memory, cpu	Performance tuning
general	(default)	General development

Output Format

Comma-separated list of classifications:

$ classify-task.sh "Create a React dashboard with API integration"
frontend,backend,testing

Integration with Agent Selector

This skill is typically used with cfn-agent-selector to determine which agents to spawn:

CLASSIFICATION=$(classify-task.sh "$TASK_DESCRIPTION")
AGENTS=$(select-agents.sh --classification "$CLASSIFICATION" --mode standard)

Examples

# Frontend task
$ classify-task.sh "Build responsive navigation component"
frontend

# Full-stack task
$ classify-task.sh "Create REST API with React admin panel"
frontend,backend

# DevOps task
$ classify-task.sh "Setup CI/CD pipeline with Docker"
devops

# Security audit
$ classify-task.sh "Perform security audit and fix vulnerabilities"
security

Implementation Details

Uses grep -E for case-insensitive pattern matching
Returns multiple classifications if multiple keywords match
Falls back to "general" if no specific keywords detected
Stateless execution (no persistent state)
Exit code 0 on success, 1 on error

Used By

cfn-v3-coordinator - For automatic agent selection
cfn-agent-selector - As input for agent mapping
CFN Loop orchestration - For task-specific agent spawning
