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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.06795 | $0.06795 |
| Opus 5 | $0.03397 | $0.03397 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.01359 | $0.01359 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00679 | $0.00679 |
Grade A, and why
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 2d ago.
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.
This is a copy
88% identical to taskmaster — 410 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Taskmaster Tool & Command Reference
This document provides a detailed reference for interacting with Taskmaster, covering both the recommended MCP tools (for integrations like Cursor) and the corresponding task-master CLI commands (for direct user interaction or fallback).
Note: For interacting with Taskmaster programmatically or via integrated tools, using the MCP tools is strongly recommended due to better performance, structured data, and error handling. The CLI commands serve as a user-friendly alternative and fallback. See mcp.mdc for MCP implementation details and commands.mdc for CLI implementation guidelines.
Important: Several MCP tools involve AI processing and are long-running operations that may take up to a minute to complete. When using these tools, always inform users that the operation is in progress and to wait patiently for results. The AI-powered tools include: parse_prd, analyze_project_complexity, update_subtask, update_task, update, expand_all, expand_task, and add_task.
Initialization & Setup
1. Initialize Project (init)
- MCP Tool:
initialize_project - CLI Command:
task-master init [options] - Description:
Set up the basic Taskmaster file structure and configuration in the current directory for a new project. - Key CLI Options:
--name <name>:Set the name for your project in Taskmaster's configuration.--description <text>:Provide a brief description for your project.--version <version>:Set the initial version for your project (e.g., '0.1.0').-y, --yes:Initialize Taskmaster quickly using default settings without interactive prompts.
- Usage: Run this once at the beginning of a new project.
- MCP Variant Description:
Set up the basic Taskmaster file structure and configuration in the current directory for a new project by running the 'task-master init' command. - Key MCP Parameters/Options:
projectName:Set the name for your project.(CLI:--name <name>)projectDescription:Provide a brief description for your project.(CLI:--description <text>)projectVersion:Set the initial version for your project (e.g., '0.1.0').(CLI:--version <version>)authorName:Author name.(CLI:--author <author>)skipInstall:Skip installing dependencies (default: false).(CLI:--skip-install)addAliases:Add shell aliases (tm, taskmaster) (default: false).(CLI:--aliases)yes:Skip prompts and use defaults/provided arguments (default: false).(CLI:-y, --yes)
- Usage: Run this once at the beginning of a new project, typically via an integrated tool like Cursor. Operates on the current working directory of the MCP server.
- Important: Once complete, you MUST parse a prd in order to generate tasks. There will be no tasks files until then. The next step after initializing should be to create a PRD using the example PRD in scripts/example_prd.txt.
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.

taskmaster is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository BLTGV/claude-mcp-manager (1 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed MIT. It adds 6,795 tokens to every session, about $0.0340 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 88% identical to taskmaster, differing in 410 lines, and is treated as a copy.
