# Turn a PRD into a dependency-aware task graph and keep AI implementation work scoped with Task Master AI

Use Task Master AI when an agent needs to turn a product request or PRD into a dependency-aware task graph, expand or scope tasks, and keep implementation work anchored to an explicit plan instead of improvising in chat.

## Prerequisites

Task Master AI, an AI coding assistant or editor session that can invoke it, and whichever model credentials or local agent runtimes the selected Task Master commands require.

## Installation

Choose whichever fits your setup:

1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory.
2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace.
3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally.
4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow.
5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection.

Install command or upstream instructions:

```
Install Task Master AI with the package or MCP setup documented by the project, add the required model credentials or local agent integrations, then use its planning commands such as parse-prd, expand, and scope adjustment to generate and maintain the task graph for the target project.
```
