Claude Task Master is a task-management system built for AI-driven software development. It helps turn product requirements and development goals into structured tasks that coding assistants can understand and execute, and is designed to work with Claude, Cursor, and other AI chat or coding environments.

The project provides workflows for creating, organizing, expanding, and tracking implementation tasks so an AI assistant can work against a clearer development plan instead of an unstructured prompt. It can be used to break larger features into smaller units, maintain dependencies and status, and provide agents with a persistent representation of what should be built next.

Task Master is useful for developers who use AI coding agents on projects that extend beyond a single prompt or coding session. It adds a lightweight planning layer between specifications and code generation, helping humans and agents coordinate longer development efforts with clearer scope and task progression.
