About list-repo-tasks
list-repo-tasks is a skill for listing mise tasks in the current repository, aimed at developers who need to understand task groups and dependencies. It can filter by namespace and show dependency chains for matching tasks.
Key features
- 01Lists mise tasks in a repository
- 02Groups tasks by namespace
- 03Filters tasks by namespace argument
- 04Shows dependency chains for filtered tasks
Use cases
- 01Inventorying repository automation tasks
- 02Inspecting release-task dependencies
- 03Filtering test or validation tasks

Details
From the project README/mise:list-repo-tasks
List all mise tasks in the current repo, grouped by namespace with dependency information.
Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.
Step 1: Get Task List
mise tasks ls 2>/dev/null
If no tasks found, report:
No mise tasks found in this repo.
To create release tasks: /mise:run-full-release
To learn task authoring: See mise-tasks skill
Step 2: Group by Namespace
Parse the task list and group by colon-prefix namespace:
release:*— Release workflow taskstest:*— Testing taskscache:*— Cache management tasksdev:*— Development quality tasks (fmt, lint, typecheck)validate:*— Validation taskssmoke:*— Smoke/integration testsbench:*— Benchmarking- Tasks without a namespace prefix go under "General"
Step 3: Filter by Argument
If a namespace argument is provided (e.g., /mise:list-repo-tasks release):
- Filter to only tasks matching that namespace prefix
- Show the dependency DAG for those tasks:
# Show task details including depends
mise tasks ls --json 2>/dev/null | jq '.[] | select(.name | startswith("release:"))'
Step 4: Show Dependency Chains
For filtered namespaces, show the dependency chain:
release:full
└─ depends: release:postflight, release:pypi
└─ release:postflight depends: smoke, release:build-all
└─ release:build-all depends: release:version
└─ release:version depends: release:sync
└─ release:sync depends: release:preflight

Post-Execution Reflection
After this skill completes, reflect before closing the task:
- Locate yourself. — Find this SKILL.md's canonical path before editing.
- What failed? — Fix the instruction that caused it.
- What worked better than expected? — Promote to recommended practice.
- What drifted? — Fix any script, reference, or dependency that no longer matches reality.
- Log it. — Evolution-log entry with trigger, fix, and evidence.
Do NOT defer. The next invocation inherits whatever you leave behind.
