What This Tool Does
AI Powered task generation and project management service that transforms high-level objectives into structured, hierarchical task breakdowns using large language model reasoning. The generate action accepts a project goal or objective along with optional context about available technologies and constraints, then produces a complete task tree with priorities, time estimates, dependencies between tasks, recommended tools, and measurable success criteria. The AI automatically selects the optimal prompting strategy based on objective complexity, using Chain of Thought reasoning for complex goals, ReAct methodology for technical implementations, or direct generation for straightforward requests. Task hierarchies can be configured from 1 to 4 levels deep depending on desired granularity. The decompose action breaks individual tasks into smaller actionable steps at basic, standard, or detailed levels without creating a persistent tree. Progress tracking supports updating task status through pending, in progress, completed, failed, and blocked states with percentage completion and notes. The status action provides real-time progress summaries including completed task counts, currently active work, blocked items, and estimated completion times. All generated task trees persist across sessions with full history available through the list action, enabling long-running project tracking and multi-session workflows.
Product Instructions
Project Task Manager
AI-powered task generation and project management tool. Break down objectives into structured, hierarchical task trees with dependencies, priorities, and time estimates. Track progress as you work through tasks.
Actions
generate
Create a hierarchical task breakdown from a high-level objective. An AI model analyzes your objective and produces a structured tree of tasks with dependencies, time estimates, and priorities.
Required fields:
action: "generate"objective (string): What you want to accomplish. Be specific about the end goal. Max 2000 characters.
Optional fields:
context (object): Technologies or constraints. Example: {"tech": ["python", "postgresql"], "constraints": ["must use docker", "deploy to AWS"]}max_depth (integer, 1-4): How many levels deep to break down tasks. 2 = simple, 3 = standard (default), 4 = very detailed.
Example:
{
"action": "generate",
"objective": "Build a REST API for user management with JWT authentication",
"context": {"tech": ["python", "fastapi"], "constraints": ["must use PostgreSQL"]},
"max_depth": 3
}
Response includes: tree_id (save this for future actions), task_ids (list of all task IDs), tasks (full hierarchy), total_tasks, estimated_total_time (minutes), and dependency_graph.
update
Mark progress on a specific task within a task tree. Use this as you start, complete, or get blocked on tasks.
Required fields:
action: "update"tree_id (string): The tree_id returned from the generate action.task_id (string): The specific task_id to update (from the generate response task_ids list).
At least one of these is required:
status (string): New status. One of: "pending", "in_progress", "completed", "failed", "blocked".progress (number, 0-100): Completion percentage. 0 = not started, 50 = halfway, 100 = done.notes (string): What happened or what you discovered. Max 500 characters.
Example:
{
"action": "update",
"tree_id": "abc-123-def",
"task_id": "task-456",
"status": "in_progress",
"progress": 25,
"notes": "Started implementing the database schema"
}
Response includes: updates_applied, new_progress (overall tree progress), and tasks_remaining.
decompose
Break a single task description into smaller, actionable subtasks. This is a standalone operation that does not require an existing task tree.
Required fields:
action: "decompose"task (string): The task to break into smaller steps. Be specific.
Optional fields:
level_of_detail (string): How detailed the breakdown should be. One of: "basic" (3-5 steps), "standard" (5-10 steps, default), "detailed" (10-15 steps).
Example:
{
"action": "decompose",
"task": "Implement user login with session management and password reset",
"level_of_detail": "detailed"
}
Response includes: subtasks (list with name, description, estimated_time, dependencies, and tools for each), total_subtasks.
status
Check the current progress and status of a task tree.
Required fields:
action: "status"tree_id (string): The tree_id returned from the generate action.
Example:
{
"action": "status",
"tree_id": "abc-123-def"
}
Response includes: overall_progress (percentage), completed_tasks, total_tasks, current_tasks (in-progress tasks), blocked_tasks, estimated_completion, and last_updated.
list
Show all your task trees, sorted by most recently updated. Returns up to 50 trees.
Required fields:
Example:
{
"action": "list"
}
Response includes: trees (list with tree_id, objective, task_count, progress, created_at, updated_at for each), total.
Common Workflows
Plan and Execute a Project
- Use
generate with your objective to create a task tree. Save the returned tree_id and task_ids.
- Use
status with the tree_id to review the plan.
- Use
update to mark tasks as "in_progress" when you start them.
- Use
update to mark tasks as "completed" when finished, or "blocked" / "failed" if issues arise.
- Use
status periodically to check overall progress.
Quick Task Breakdown
Use decompose when you just need to break a single task into steps without creating a full project tree. Good for ad-hoc planning.
Resume Previous Work
Use list to find your existing task trees, then status with the relevant tree_id to see where you left off.
Important Notes
- The
tree_id returned from generate is required for all update and status calls. Always save it.
- Task IDs come from the
task_ids array in the generate response. Use these exact IDs when calling update.
- Setting status to
"completed" automatically sets progress to 100%.
- Time estimates are in minutes.
- The
decompose action is independent and does not create or modify task trees.
- Task trees are stored per user and persist between sessions.

get_schema or get_instructions before retrying.
- If
decompose fails, preserve the request parameters and retry only after fixing schema, auth, or payment errors.
Security
- Do not place account secrets, wallet private keys, mnemonics, signatures, or payment headers in prompts or logs.
- Keep tool inputs scoped to the minimum content needed for the task.
- Use the setup skills for credential handling; this product skill only defines product-specific behavior.
