Test it

Using "zentao-task-planner". Plan my tasks for next week with story 103615

Expected outcome:

Generated task plan with 8 tasks distributed across Monday-Friday, each task under 8 hours with proper deadline dates.

Using "zentao-task-planner". Show my active tasks

Expected outcome:

List of 5 active tasks with IDs, names, deadlines, and estimated hours remaining.

Using "zentao-task-planner". Close all my finished tasks

Expected outcome:

Summary showing 3 tasks successfully closed with timestamps.

Security Audit

Low Risk

v1 • 4/27/2026

This is a legitimate ZenTao task management integration skill. Static analysis flagged 160 potential issues, but evaluation confirms these are mostly false positives. The skill legitimately accesses .env files for credential storage (required for ZenTao authentication) and makes HTTP requests to a user-configured ZenTao instance (core functionality). No prompt injection or malicious intent detected.

High Risk Issues (1)

scripts/zentao_common.py:156-158 scripts/zentao_common.py:133-143

Environment Credential Storage

Skill reads ZenTao credentials from .env files. Credentials are required for ZenTao API authentication and stored locally per user configuration.

Medium Risk Issues (1)

scripts/zentao_common.py:372-388 scripts/zentao_common.py:678-693

External HTTP Requests to User-Configured Endpoint

Skill makes HTTP requests to a ZenTao instance URL configured by the user in environment variables.

Low Risk Issues (3)

scripts/zentao_common.py:29-90

Static Analysis False Positives - Chinese Text Strings Misidentified as Crypto

The static scanner flagged Chinese task type names (e.g., '产品方案设计') as 'weak cryptographic algorithms' due to character pattern matching. No actual cryptographic operations are performed.

references/commands.md:1-25 references/list-tasks.md:1-54 references/create-tasks.md:1-36

Static Analysis False Positives - Markdown Code Examples Flagged as Execution

Backtick syntax in markdown documentation files (references/*.md) was flagged as 'Ruby/shell backtick execution'. These are markdown inline code formatting, not actual shell commands.

references/commands.md:1-25 references/plan-task.md:1-25 SKILL.md:1-36

High File Entropy in Markdown Files

Several markdown files show high entropy readings due to dense Chinese technical documentation, not encrypted or obfuscated content.

What You Can Build

Weekly Task Planning for Development Teams

Development leads use this skill to plan weekly tasks for their team members. The AI helps allocate work evenly across workdays, splitting large features into appropriately-sized tasks.

Automated Work Hour Logging

Team members can quickly log completed work hours and mark tasks as finished without navigating through the ZenTao web interface.

Batch Task Creation from Spreadsheets

Import task lists from Excel or CSV files to quickly create multiple ZenTao tasks with proper formatting and validation.

Try These Prompts

Plan My Week

Plan my tasks for [this week/next week]. I have story IDs 103615, 103620, and 103621 to work on. Allocate tasks evenly across workdays.

View Active Tasks

Show me my active tasks in ZenTao

Create Tasks from Plan

Create the following tasks in ZenTao:
[Copy your TSV task plan here]

Finish Tasks by Date

Mark all my tasks completed on [date] as finished with [X] hours logged

Best Practices

Always preview task plans before execution to catch validation errors
Keep task estimates between 2-8 hours for accurate tracking
Use standardized task type names to ensure proper ZenTao categorization

Avoid

Do not create tasks without user confirmation
Do not assume dates without explicitly asking the user
Do not skip task validation even for urgent requests

Frequently Asked Questions

What credentials do I need to configure?

You need ZENTAO_BASE_URL, ZENTAO_ACCOUNT, ZENTAO_PASSWORD, and ZENTAO_NAME in your .env file.

Can I modify existing tasks?

No, this skill only creates new tasks and completes or closes existing ones. It does not support modifying task details.

How do I preview tasks before creating them?

Run scripts with the preview mode (without --execute flag) to see what would be created without making changes.

What is the task plan format?

Tasks are provided as TSV (tab-separated values) with columns: Name, Story ID, Task Name, Type, Estimate (hours), Start Date, End Date.

How does task type mapping work?

The skill can auto-map common types like 'backend coding' to ZenTao standard types, or you can provide a custom username mapping JSON file.

Is my ZenTao password stored securely?

Credentials are stored locally in your .env file and only used for API authentication. The skill does not transmit passwords to third parties.
