Drop in any requirements document — PRD, spec, Notion export — and Taskmaster generates a complete task list with dependencies, priorities, and implementation details.
Parsing
Point Taskmaster at any text file and AI reads the document, understands the scope, and generates tasks with the right granularity. Use --research for Perplexity-backed context.
Structure
Generated tasks include logical dependencies, acceptance criteria, and implementation hints so you know what to work on first and when each task is done.
Customization
Control task count, enable research-backed parsing, append to existing tasks, or force-replace them. Tailor the output to match your workflow.
