Prd Taskmaster

Turn any goal into shipped code.

prd-taskmaster by Atlas AI is an open-source engine for Claude Code
that takes a one-line goal, interviews you like a senior PM, writes a graded,
placeholder-proof PRD, compiles it into a dependency-ordered task graph, and executes every
task with verification evidence — so "done" means proven, not claimed.

Free and MIT, forever.
⚠️ Pre-alpha — under active development. Atlas was recently consolidated into this engine
and the newer systems (fleet orchestration, backend abstraction, token economy) have not been
fully tested in the wild yet. Expect rough edges and breaking changes between releases, pin a
version if you need stability, and please report what breaks.
No warranty beyond the MIT license. Atlas Pro is not generally available — it is a private
pilot (see below).

Atlas has four structural moats:

- cross-vendor fleet — Claude, Codex, and Gemini run as separate quota pools instead of one
  brittle model lane.
- Engine-enforced unfakable gates — validate-tasks, evidence checks, and SHIP_CHECK_OK
  make completion a deterministic state, not a claim.
- persistent vendor-neutral tasks.json — your PRD, task graph, and execution state stay as
  plain repo files that survive vendor swaps.
- token-economy cost ledger — every orchestrated model call records routing, exit, latency,
  and escalation so cheap models do cheap work and expensive models justify themselves.

Atlas speaks TaskMaster natively — but doesn't need it. Existing TaskMaster projects get a
migration funnel: install task-master-ai only when you want the TaskMaster backend, while the
native backend keeps the same validated task graph available without that prerequisite.
