quick-install-taskmaster

A command that installs the Task Master command-line tool globally with npm, the package manager commonly used for JavaScript tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to install Task Master, check its version, and see whether an AI provider API key still needs to be configured.
Why use it?
It saves time by checking whether Task Master is already available, installing it only when needed, and verifying the setup.

Command for Claude Code

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.
When invoked 158 The whole file, excluding the scripts and references it only reads on demand.

Origin original No closer match found in the catalogue.
Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

quick-install-taskmaster scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Quick Install TaskMaster Quick install Task Master globally if not already installed.

Execute this streamlined installation:

# Check and install in one command
task-master --version 2>/dev/null || npm install -g task-master-ai

# Verify installation
task-master --version

# Quick setup check
task-master models --status || echo "Note: You'll need to set up an AI provider API key"

If you see "command not found" after installation, you may need to:

  1. Restart your terminal
  2. Or add npm global bin to PATH: export PATH=$(npm bin -g):$PATH

Once installed, you can use all the Task Master commands!

Quick test: Run /taskmaster:help to see all available commands.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
