SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Structured Taskmaster orchestration using MCP-first approach with automatic CLI fallback for init, PRD parsing, task lifecycle, and status workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

MCP-first orchestration: routes intents to Taskmaster CLI with automatic fallback when MCP is unavailable.
Task lifecycle management: create, update, expand, set statuses, and manage dependencies across tasks.
Safe, auditable actions: enforces safety checks and produces structured execution reports for reproducible workflows.

Quick Start

Run the Taskmaster skill to initialize a new workflow and parse a PRD, then manage tasks via the CLI.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate task lifecycle management and PRD parsing for my repository?▼

Task lifecycle management and PRD parsing are automated using an MCP-first approach that routes intents to the Taskmaster CLI, with automatic fallback when MCP is unavailable. This handles initialization, task creation, status updates, and dependency management.

What is an MCP-first orchestration approach with CLI fallback?▼

MCP-first orchestration routes task planning intents through the Model Context Protocol by default, automatically falling back to the CLI executable when MCP is unavailable. This ensures deterministic execution for initializing workflows and managing dependencies.

How do I set up structured task planning and expansion across multiple tasks?▼

Structured task planning and expansion are set up by initializing a workflow and parsing a PRD. The system routes intents via a command catalog, enforces safety rules, and produces a structured execution report for reproducible team workflows.

Can I use this task automation workflow if the MCP server is unavailable?▼

Yes, you can use this task automation workflow if the MCP server is unavailable. The system applies a deterministic CLI fallback to resolve the executable and continue task status management and progress tracking without interruption.

What's the best way to ensure safe and auditable actions during task status management?▼

Safe and auditable actions during task status management are ensured by enforcing safety checks and producing structured execution reports. This guarantees reproducible workflows when managing dependencies across multiple tasks.
