prd

prd-taskmaster

Zero-config goal-to-tasks engine (the Atlas engine). Takes any goal (software, pentest, business, learning), runs adaptive discovery via brainstorming, generates a validated spec, parses into TaskMaster tasks, and hands off to execution. Use when user says "PRD", "product requirements", "I want to build", invokes /atlas, or wants task-driven development.

Data & Documents Solid

expand-tasks

Expand all TaskMaster tasks with deep research via Perplexity before coding begins. Reads tasks.json, launches parallel research agents per task, writes findings back. Part of the prd-taskmaster toolkit. Use after PRD is parsed into tasks and before implementation begins. Invoke with /expand-tasks or when user says "expand tasks", "research all tasks", or "research before coding for all tasks".

atlas

The Atlas engine — turn any goal into a validated PRD and an executable, verified task graph. Brand-name entrypoint; a thin alias for the `go` orchestrator. Use when the user types /prd:atlas, says "I want to build", or asks for a PRD / task-driven build.

customise-workflow

Customise the prd-taskmaster plugin workflow via curated brainstorm questions. The AI asks, the user answers in plain English, and the skill writes their preferences to .atlas-ai/config/atlas.json. Future runs of prd-taskmaster read that file and apply user preferences to phase gates, validation strictness, default provider, preferred execution mode, and template choice. For deeper tweaks beyond the curated questions, users can hand-edit files in .atlas-ai/customizations/. Use when the user says "customise workflow", "customize workflow", "adjust my PRD settings", "tune the skill", or wants to change how prd-taskmaster behaves.

discover

Phase 1 of the prd-taskmaster pipeline: brainstorm-driven discovery. Delegates to superpowers:brainstorming in Interactive Mode (one adaptive question at a time), or self-brainstorms in Autonomous Mode when no user is present. Intercepts before the brainstorming chain hands off to writing-plans — this skill owns the exit. Extracts constraints, calibrates scale (Solo / Team / Enterprise), and advances the pipeline to GENERATE.

execute-fleet

Phase execution skill for licensed Atlas Fleet runs. Use when HANDOFF has selected Atlas Fleet and the project should be executed across isolated launcher worktrees with inbox-based result collection, verified CDD cards, sequential integration merges, and one final PR.

execute-task

Execute the next TaskMaster task using the implementation plan with CDD verification. Picks the next ready task, matches it to the plan step, implements via a dispatched subagent, verifies subtasks with evidence, marks the task done, and loops until every task is complete. Wraps the TaskMaster next -> in-progress -> done lifecycle with CDD GREEN / RED / BLUE verification and the plugin's triple-verification rule. Autonomous by design — no user prompts inside the loop.

generate

Phase 2 of the prd-taskmaster pipeline: spec generation and task parsing. Loads a template (comprehensive|minimal), fills it with DISCOVER-phase constraints and answers, validates the spec (placeholders_found, grade thresholds), parses the PRD into tasks via task-master, runs TaskMaster's native complexity analysis, and expands every task into verifiable subtasks. Autonomous-safe. Declares GENERATE complete so HANDOFF can follow.

go

Zero-config goal-to-tasks engine. Takes any goal (software, pentest, business, learning), runs adaptive discovery, generates a validated spec, parses into TaskMaster tasks, creates an implementation plan, and executes with built-in CDD verification. Use when user says "PRD", "product requirements", "I want to build", or any goal-driven phrase.

handoff

Phase 3 of the prd-taskmaster pipeline: smart mode selection and user handoff. Detects installed capabilities (superpowers, ralph-loop, task-master-ai, playwright, research providers), recommends ONE execution mode (A/B/C) with reasoned justification, appends the task-execution workflow to CLAUDE.md, surfaces a structured AskUserQuestion multi-option picker for user agency, and dispatches the chosen mode. Mode D (Atlas Fleet) is selectable only when detect_capabilities returns tier=premium (licensed atlas-launcher detected); otherwise it is a locked Atlas Pro teaser. Plan Mode is NOT used (spec section 13.5): AskUserQuestion is the sole user-agency mechanism. Declares HANDOFF complete so EXECUTE can follow.

setup

Phase 0 of the prd-taskmaster pipeline. Resolves the active backend, initializes the project, configures the provider stack when the TaskMaster backend is active (DETECT-FIRST — never overwrite a working user config), and verifies the AI pipeline. Autonomous: zero user questions unless a hard block is hit. Declares the Setup phase complete so DISCOVER can follow.
