What it does
The plugin drives the path from a one-line goal to shipped code through several stages. A short interview captures requirements, then a PRD is written, scored against deterministic checks with a letter grade, and placeholders like TBD and TODO are a hard fail. The PRD is parsed into a task graph with dependencies and subtasks, and each task is executed and must produce evidence of its result. Completion is confirmed by a token that is emitted only when every check passes, and state lives in plain repository files.
Who it is for. For developers, product and project managers who want a controlled path from a goal to a verified result.
Good fit when
- You want to turn a vague goal into a structured PRD and task plan
- You want task completion backed by evidence
- You need a dependency-ordered task graph, not a flat checklist
Not a fit when
- You need a stable release rather than a pre-alpha project
- The task is small and a formal PRD with checks is overkill
Example request
Build a PRD and task plan for a rate limiter service with a Redis backend and start executionLimitations
The project is pre-alpha, with possible breakage and changes between releases; pin a version if you need stability. It needs Python 3.11 or newer and Linux, macOS or WSL. The free engine needs no paid key and uses the model CLIs you already have, so availability depends on access to those agents.
How to disable. Remove the plugin via /plugin in Claude Code and uninstall the prd_taskmaster package from your Python environment.
FAQ
Do I need a paid API key?
No. The free engine runs on the model CLIs you already have; no separate paid key is required.
What does verified completion mean?
Each task produces evidence of its result, and the final token is emitted only after all checks pass, which makes it hard to fake.

README in short
The README frames prd-taskmaster as an engine for Claude Code that turns a goal into a graded, placeholder-free PRD, a dependency-ordered task graph and evidence-gated execution. Installation is via /plugin marketplace add and /plugin install prd, with a one-line installer as well. It is marked pre-alpha, and the deterministic core with PRD validation, the task graph and the completion token is covered by tests. It states no paid keys and use of existing model CLIs.
