PRD TaskMaster (Atlas Engine)
A zero-config engine that turns any goal into a validated PRD and a ready-to-execute TaskMaster task graph.
AutomationIntermediate★ 602⑂ 58AI score 9/10Last updated: Aug 14, 2026
What it does
- Takes any goal ("I want to build X") and runs adaptive, one-question-at-a-time discovery.
- Writes a PRD and scores it with a built-in validator that fails on TBD/TODO/mustache placeholders.
- Parses the PRD into TaskMaster tasks and subtasks, adds complexity ratings and phase metadata.
- Ends with a single recommended execution mode (Verified Loop / Auto-Execute / Plan & Drive) and hands off.
- Dual backend: the
atlas-engineMCP server when available, otherwise a dependency-freescript.pyCLI path.
Who it's for
- Solo devs and small teams who need work broken down but hate writing specs.
- Claude Code users running task-driven development with TaskMaster.
- Anyone structuring non-software goals too — business plans, pentest scopes, learning roadmaps.
Examples
- Type
/atlasand say "I want a group expense splitting app" → a few questions later you get.taskmaster/docs/prd.mdandtasks.json. - No TaskMaster installed? Pass
--manual→ Native Mode writes tasks.json itself and verifies withvalidate-tasks+enrich-tasks. - Large backlog: run
parallel-plan --missing-only, fan research out to N subagents, thenparallel-applymerges everything in one atomic write.

Try it now, no install
Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.
Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/anombyte93/prd-taskmaster/HEAD/SKILL.md What I want: (describe your task here)
If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.
↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.
Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
- Download the ZIP with the button below.
- In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
- Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the SKILL.m folder from the GitHub repo anombyte93/prd-taskmaster into my ~/.claude/skills/prd-taskmaster/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/anombyte93/prd-taskmaster.git ~/.claude/skills/prd-taskmaster⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Create the skills folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills - Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/anombyte93/prd-taskmaster.git ~/.claude/skills/prd-taskmaster - Confirm
SKILL.md,script.py, and thephases/folder exist:ls ~/.claude/skills/prd-taskmaster - Make sure python3 is available:
python3 --version - (Optional) Install the TaskMaster CLI for headless AI ops:
npm i -g task-master-ai - Restart Claude Code and run
/atlas(or say "write me a PRD") to verify it loads.
