Taskmaster/Complexity Analysis

Know what needs to be broken down.

AI scores each task 1-10 for complexity and recommends which ones to expand. Stop guessing where the risk is — let AI tell you.

Scoring

Find the risky tasks

Each task gets a score from 1 (trivial) to 10 (very complex) based on scope, dependencies, and unknowns. High-complexity tasks are flagged for expansion before they become blockers.

Interpretation

What the scores mean

Scores map to clear action guidance. Low scores are safe to execute as-is, medium scores can optionally be expanded, and high scores should always be broken down before implementation.

Low (1-3)

Straightforward tasks. Clear scope, minimal dependencies. Safe to execute as-is.

Medium (4-6)

Some complexity. Consider expanding if you want more granular progress tracking.

High (7-10)

Significant complexity or unknowns. Strongly recommended for expansion before execution.

Workflow

From analysis to action

Run complexity analysis to identify risky tasks, then expand the flagged ones into manageable subtasks. Two commands to go from uncertainty to a clear plan.

zsh — taskmaster
→tm analyze-complexity --research
Analyzing 12 tasks...
⚠️ 2 tasks recommended for expansion (score ≥ 7)
→tm expand --id=3 --research
✓ Generated 6 subtasks for task 3
