why it's a big deal

  • It turns a Product Requirements Document into a structured task list with subtasks and dependency tracking, so AI-driven development follows a plan instead of ad hoc prompting.
  • It works inside editors developers already use, including Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, Lovable, and Roo, rather than requiring a separate app.
  • The research command pulls in fresh information with project context, and complexity analysis and status tracking help teams see what to work on next.

under the hood

  • It ships as both an MCP server exposing 36 tools and a standalone CLI with commands like parse-prd, list, next, show, and research.
  • Tool loading is selective via the TASK_MASTER_TOOLS variable, with core, standard, and all tiers to cut token overhead from roughly 21k tokens down to about 5k.
  • It is a Turbo monorepo of packages and apps, split roughly 52 percent JavaScript and 44 percent TypeScript, and supports Anthropic, OpenAI, Google Gemini, Perplexity, xAI, OpenRouter, Mistral, Groq, Azure OpenAI, and Ollama, with Claude Code usable without an API key.
