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 | $0.08043 | $0.08043 |
| Opus 5 | $0.04022 | $0.04022 |

Grade B, and why
taskmaster scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

mcp.json carries server URLs and auth tokens; reading it lets a mod discover and abuse other integrations.

88% identical to taskmaster — 182 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, suitable for integrations like Cursor, and the corresponding task-master CLI commands, designed 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.
Important: Several MCP tools involve AI processing... 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 is false.(CLI:--skip-install)addAliases:Add shell aliases tm and taskmaster. Default is false.(CLI:--aliases)yes:Skip prompts and use defaults/provided arguments. Default is 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 .taskmaster/templates/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 learnwithcc/tally-mcp (8 stars, last pushed 1y ago), licensed ISC. It adds 8,043 tokens to every session, about $0.0402 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads mcp configuration). It is 88% identical to taskmaster, differing in 182 lines, and is treated as a copy.
