Task Master is a task management system for AI-driven development with Claude, designed to work seamlessly with Cursor AI.
Task Master is an AI-driven task management system designed to enhance development workflows by integrating with Claude and Cursor AI. It allows developers to manage tasks efficiently using AI models from various providers like Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google Gemini. The system supports three types of models: main, research, and fallback, ensuring robust task management even if one model fails. Task Master requires API keys from supported providers, which can be configured in mcp.json or .env files. The system offers two main usage options: through Model Control Protocol (MCP) for direct integration with editors like Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code, or via command line for broader accessibility. Task Master emphasizes the importance of a detailed Product Requirements Document (PRD) to generate effective tasks. It provides a range of commands to parse PRDs, plan tasks, and implement them, making it a versatile tool for AI-assisted development.
Features
- Seamless integration with AI models from multiple providers.
- Supports main, research, and fallback models for robust task management.
- Direct integration with editors via MCP for enhanced workflow.
- Command line interface for flexible usage.
- Emphasizes detailed PRD for effective task generation.
Tools
initialize_project
Initializes a new Task Master project structure by calling the core initialization logic. Creates necessary folders and configuration files for Task Master in the current directory.
models
Get information about available AI models or set model configurations. Run without arguments to get the current model configuration and API key status for the selected model providers.
rules
Add or remove rule profiles from the project.
parse_prd
Parse a Product Requirements Document (PRD) text file to automatically generate initial tasks. Reinitializing the project is not necessary to run this tool. It is recommended to run parse-prd after initializing the project and creating/importing a prd.txt file in the project root's .taskmaster/docs directory.
analyze_project_complexity
Analyze task complexity and generate expansion recommendations.
expand_task
Expand a task into subtasks for detailed implementation
expand_all
Expand all pending tasks into subtasks based on complexity or defaults
get_tasks
Get all tasks from Task Master, optionally filtering by status and including subtasks.
get_task
Get detailed information about a specific task
next_task
Find the next task to work on based on dependencies and status
complexity_report
Display the complexity analysis report in a readable format
set_task_status
Set the status of one or more tasks or subtasks.
generate
Generates individual task files in tasks/ directory based on tasks.json
add_task
Add a new task using AI
add_subtask
Add a subtask to an existing task
update
Update multiple upcoming tasks (with ID >= 'from' ID) based on new context or changes provided in the prompt. Use 'update_task' instead for a single specific task or 'update_subtask' for subtasks.
update_task
Updates a single task by ID with new information or context provided in the prompt.
update_subtask
Appends timestamped information to a specific subtask without replacing existing content. If you just want to update the subtask status, use set_task_status instead.
remove_task
Remove a task or subtask permanently from the tasks list
remove_subtask
Remove a subtask from its parent task
clear_subtasks
Clear subtasks from specified tasks
move_task
Move a task or subtask to a new position
add_dependency
Add a dependency relationship between two tasks
remove_dependency
Remove a dependency from a task
validate_dependencies
Check tasks for dependency issues (like circular references or links to non-existent tasks) without making changes.
fix_dependencies
Fix invalid dependencies in tasks automatically
list_tags
List all available tags with task counts and metadata
add_tag
Create a new tag for organizing tasks in different contexts
delete_tag
Delete an existing tag and all its tasks
use_tag
Switch to a different tag context for task operations
rename_tag
Rename an existing tag
copy_tag
Copy an existing tag to create a new tag with all tasks and metadata
research
Perform AI-powered research queries with project context
