Autonomous task orchestration system that keeps Claude working until a goal is achieved.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install
pip install claude-task-master

# Verify setup
claudetm doctor

# Run a task
cd your-project
claudetm start "Add user authentication with tests"
```

## Overview

Claude Task Master uses the Claude Agent SDK to autonomously work on complex tasks. Give it a goal, and it will:

1. **Plan** - Analyze codebase and create a task list organized by PRs
2. **Execute** - Work through each task, committing and pushing changes
3. **Create PRs** - All work is pushed and submitted as pull requests
4. **Handle CI** - Wait for checks, fix failures, address review comments
5. **Merge** - Auto-merge when approved (configurable)
6. **Verify** - Confirm all success criteria are met

**Core Philosophy**: Claude is smart enough to do the work AND verify it. Task Master keeps the loop going and persists state between sessions.

```

### Work Completion Requirements

Every task must be:
- **Committed** with a descriptive message
- **Pushed** to remote (`git push -u origin HEAD`)
- **In a PR** (`gh pr create ...`)

Work is NOT complete until it's pushed and in a pull request.

## Installation

### Prerequisites

1. **Python 3.10+** - [Install Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/)
2. **Claude CLI** - [Install Claude](https://github.com/anthropics/anthropic-sdk-python) and run `claude` to authenticate
3. **GitHub CLI** - [Install gh](https://cli.github.com/) and run `gh auth login`

### Install Claude Task Master

**Option 1: Using uv (recommended)**

```bash
# Install uv if you haven't already
curl https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Install Claude Task Master
uv sync

# Verify installation
uv run claudetm doctor
```

**Option 2: Using pip**

```bash
# Install from PyPI
pip install claude-task-master

# Verify installation
claudetm doctor
```

**Option 3: Development installation**

```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/developerz-ai/claude-task-master
cd claude-task-master

# Install with development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run tests
pytest
```

### Initial Setup

Run the doctor command to verify everything is configured:

```bash
claudetm doctor
```

This checks for:
- ✓ Claude CLI credentials at `~/.claude/.credentials.json`
- ✓ GitHub CLI authentication
- ✓ Git configuration
- ✓ Python version compatibility

## Usage

### CLI Commands

| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `claudetm start "goal"` | Start a new task |
| `claudetm resume` | Resume a paused task |
| `claudetm status` | Show current status |
| `claudetm plan` | View task list |
| `claudetm progress` | View progress summary |
| `claudetm context` | View accumulated learnings |
| `claudetm logs` | View session logs |
| `claudetm pr` | Show PR status and CI checks |
| `claudetm comments` | Show review comments |
| `claudetm clean` | Clean up task state |
| `claudetm doctor` | Verify system setup |

### Start Options

```bash
claudetm start "Your goal here" [OPTIONS]
```

| Option | Description | Default |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `--model` | Model to use (sonnet, opus, haiku) | sonnet |
| `--auto-merge/--no-auto-merge` | Auto-merge PRs when ready | True |
| `--max-sessions` | Limit number of sessions | unlimited |
| `--pause-on-pr` | Pause after creating PR | False |

### Common Workflows

```bash
# Simple task with auto-merge
claudetm start "Add factorial function to utils.py with tests"

# Complex task with manual review
claudetm start "Refactor auth system" --model opus --no-auto-merge

# Limited sessions to prevent runaway
claudetm start "Fix bug in parser" --max-sessions 5

# Monitor progress
watch -n 5 'claudetm status'
```

## Examples & Use Cases

Check the [examples/](./examples/) directory for detailed walkthroughs:

### Quick Examples

```bash
# Add a simple function
claudetm start "Add a factorial function to utils.py with tests"

# Fix a bug
claudetm start "Fix authentication timeout in login.py" --no-auto-merge

# Feature development
claudetm start "Add dark mode toggle to settings" --model opus

# Refactoring
claudetm start "Refactor API client to use async/await" --max-sessions 5

# Documentation
claudetm start "Add API documentation and examples"
```

## Troubleshooting

### Credentials & Setup

#### "Claude CLI credentials not found"
```bash
# Run the Claude CLI to authenticate
claude

# Verify credentials were saved
ls -la ~/.claude/.credentials.json

# Run doctor to check setup
claudetm doctor
```

#### "GitHub CLI not authenticated"
```bash
# Authenticate with GitHub
gh auth login

# Verify authentication
gh auth status
```

### Common Issues

#### Task appears stuck or not progressing

```bash
# Check current status
claudetm status

# View detailed logs
claudetm logs -n 100

# If truly stuck, you can interrupt and resume
# Press Ctrl+C, then:
claudetm resume
```

#### PR creation fails

```bash
# Verify you're in a git repository
git status

# Verify remote is set up
git remote -v

# Check if a PR already exists
gh pr list

# Run doctor to diagnose
claudetm doctor
```

#### Tests or linting failures

The system will handle failures and retry. To debug:

```bash
# Check the latest logs
claudetm logs

# View progress summary
claudetm progress

# See what Claude learned from errors
claudetm context
```

#### Clean up and restart

```bash
# Safe cleanup - removes state but keeps logs
claudetm clean

# Force cleanup without confirmation
claudetm clean -f

# Start fresh task
claudetm start "Your new goal"
```

### Performance Tips

1. **Use the right model**:
   - `opus` for complex tasks (default)
   - `sonnet` for balanced speed/quality
   - `haiku` for simple tasks

2. **Limit sessions to prevent infinite loops**:
   ```bash
   claudetm start "Task" --max-sessions 10
   ```

3. **Manual review for critical changes**:
   ```bash
   claudetm start "Task" --no-auto-merge
   ```

4. **Monitor in another terminal**:
   ```bash
   watch -n 5 'claudetm status'
   ```

### Debug Mode

View detailed execution information:

```bash
# Show recent log entries
claudetm logs -n 200

# View current plan and progress
claudetm plan
claudetm progress

# See accumulated context from previous sessions
claudetm context
```

## Architecture

The system follows SOLID principles with strict Single Responsibility:

### Core Components

| Component | Responsibility |
|-----------|----------------|
| **Credential Manager** | OAuth credential loading from `~/.claude/.credentials.json` |
| **State Manager** | Persistence to `.claude-task-master/` directory |
| **Agent Wrapper** | Claude Agent SDK interactions with streaming output |
| **Planner** | Planning phase with read-only tools (Read, Glob, Grep, Bash) |
| **Orchestrator** | Main execution loop and workflow stage management |
| **GitHub Client** | PR creation, CI monitoring, comment handling |
| **PR Cycle Manager** | Full PR lifecycle (create → CI → reviews → merge) |
| **Context Accumulator** | Builds learnings across sessions |

### Workflow Stages

```
working → pr_created → waiting_ci → ci_failed → waiting_reviews → addressing_reviews → ready_to_merge → merged
```

Each stage has specific handlers that determine when to transition to the next stage.

## State Directory

```
.claude-task-master/
├── goal.txt              # Original user goal
├── criteria.txt          # Success criteria
├── plan.md               # Task list with checkboxes
├── state.json            # Machine-readable state
├── progress.md           # Progress summary
├── context.md            # Accumulated learnings
└── logs/
    └── run-{timestamp}.txt    # Full log (kept on success)
```

## Exit Codes

- **0 (Success)**: All tasks completed, criteria met. State cleaned up, logs preserved.
- **1 (Blocked)**: Task cannot proceed, needs human intervention or error occurred.
- **2 (Interrupted)**: User pressed Ctrl+C, state preserved for resume.

## Development

### Testing

```bash
pytest                    # Run all tests
pytest -v                 # Verbose output
pytest -k "test_name"     # Run specific tests
```

### Linting & Formatting

```bash
ruff check .              # Lint
ruff format .             # Format
mypy .                    # Type check
```
