Here it is.  
Add this to your core/hooks folder as `custom_name_resolver_from_ctx.py`

Then in workfiles2 you can add this to the `saveas_default_name` setting:

`saveas_default_name: hook:custom_name_resolver_from_ctx:task_name`

        Get a name from the current context

        :param setting: The name of the setting for which we are evaluating
                        In our example above, it would be template_snapshot.

        :param bundle_obj: The app, engine or framework object that the setting
                           is associated with.

        :param extra_params: List of options passed from the setting. If the settings
                             string is "hook:hook_name:foo:bar", extra_params would
                             be ['foo', 'bar']

        returns: needs to return the name of the file, as a string

        resolve_mode = extra_params[0]
        # the mode is basically the parameter passed from the config value - in this case task_name

        if resolve_mode == "task_name":
