Now that your tasks are generated and reviewed you are ready to begin executing.
Taskmaster has the "next" command to find the next task to work on. You can access it with the following request:
What's the next task I should work on? Please consider dependencies and priorities.
Alternatively you can use the CLI to show the next task
task-master next
When you know what task to work on next you can then start chatting with the agent to make sure it understands the plan of action.
You can tag relevant files and folders so it knows what context to pull up as it generates its plan. For example:
Please review Task 5 and confirm you understand how to execute before beginning. Refer to @models @api and @schema
The agent will begin analyzing the task and files and respond with the steps to complete the task.
If you agree with the plan of action, tell the agent to get started.
You may begin. I believe in you.
Once the agent is finished with the task you can refer to the task testing strategy to make sure it was completed correctly.
If the task was completed correctly you can update the status to done
Please mark Task 5 as done
The agent will execute
task-master set-status --id=5 --status=done
If you ran into problems and had to debug errors you can create new rules as you go. This helps build context on your codebase that helps the creation and execution of future tasks.
By now you have all you need to get started executing code faster and smarter with Taskmaster.
