## What it is
Taskmaster is an AI-powered task-management system that generates structured, dependency-aware task lists from a product brief so AI coding agents can execute plans. It ships as an npm CLI and MCP server that integrates with editors like Cursor, Windsurf, Roo, Lovable, and Claude.

## Use cases
- break a PRD into structured tasks for AI coding agents
- manage a task list with dependencies inside Cursor or Windsurf
- run an MCP task server for Claude or other AI assistants
- generate and track development tasks from a project brief
- plan AI-driven development work before letting agents code

## When to choose
- you use AI coding tools and want agents to follow a structured plan
- you want task management exposed via CLI and MCP to your editor
- you work solo or in a small team doing AI-driven development

## When to avoid
- you need a full multi-user team planning workspace (that's the commercial Hamster product)
- you want a traditional GUI project tracker like Jira or Linear
- you need a permissively licensed dependency (license is MIT with Commons Clause)
