SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Project managers and AI teams spend excessive time coordinating tasks, selecting appropriate AI models, and tracking multi-task budgets across complex workflows. TaskMaster automates task triage, multi-agent orchestration, and financial governance to accelerate delivery and reduce cost.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Smart Task Triage: automatically analyzes complexity, assigns Haiku/Sonnet/Opus, and decomposes big projects into actionable tasks.
  • Sub-Agent Orchestration: spawns isolated sub-agents for parallel execution and consolidates results.
  • Budget & Cost Tracking: tracks per-task and total budgets with real-time cost estimation and logging.
  • Progress & Governance: real-time status, retry policies, and final deliverable compilation.

Quick Start

Provide TaskMaster with a project description; it will break the work into tasks, assign appropriate models, spawn sub-agents, and track costs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate multi-agent orchestration and track token budgets for complex projects?

Multi-agent orchestration and token budget tracking are automated by analyzing project complexity, assigning appropriate models, spawning parallel sub-agents, and logging real-time costs. This requires a TaskMaster runtime and OpenClaw integration to execute end-to-end workflows.

How does smart task triage assign AI models for project decomposition?

Smart task triage assigns AI models by automatically analyzing task complexity and decomposing large projects into actionable steps. It scales from single-step operations to multi-agent workflows by dynamically routing work to Haiku, Sonnet, or Opus models.

Can I execute parallel sub-agents and monitor real-time costs in a Python environment?

Parallel sub-agent execution and real-time cost monitoring are supported within Python environments. The system spawns isolated sub-agents for concurrent operations and applies a deterministic cost model to track per-task budgets and total token accounting.

What is the best way to manage per-task budgets and token accounting across multiple AI agents?

Per-task budget and token accounting management is handled through a deterministic cost model with real-time cost estimation. The system continuously logs token usage, applies retry policies, and consolidates final deliverables to maintain financial governance.

Do I need OpenClaw integration to run multi-agent task delegation?

OpenClaw integration is required to run multi-agent task delegation. The system relies on this integration alongside the TaskMaster runtime to automate task triage, spawn isolated sub-agents, and enforce per-task budget limits.

Why does task delegation fail without per-task budget limits in multi-agent workflows?

Task delegation fails without per-task budget limits because the deterministic cost model requires explicit financial governance boundaries. Without token accounting and real-time cost tracking, the system cannot enforce retry policies or prevent budget overruns during parallel sub-agent execution.
