Project proposal
Use the MeisterTask MCP to turn a project idea or brief into a structured proposal Note. Searches existing context first, drafts a structured document, and creates a Note ready for review. Designed to feed directly into the mt-note-to-project skill once approved.
Workflow
- Gather the brief:
- What is the project or initiative?
- Who is sponsoring or requesting it?
- Any known constraints: budget, timeline, team size?
- Search for existing context:
- Use
mt_search(types: ["NOTES", "PROJECTS"]) to find related prior decisions, existing projects, or OKR notes. - Use
mt_notes_geton any relevant notes to extract useful context. - Surface conflicts or dependencies with existing work before drafting — not after.
- Use
- Confirm the proposal outline with the user:
- Present the 7 sections below and flag any gaps or conflicts found in step 2.
- Get sign-off on scope before writing the full Note.
- Create the proposal Note using
mt_notes_createwith this structure:- Problem — what problem or opportunity does this address?
- Proposed solution — what will be built or done?
- Scope — what's in scope, and what's explicitly out of scope?
- Timeline — key milestones or phases with indicative dates
- Resources needed — team, tools, budget
- Risks — top 2–3 risks and proposed mitigations
- Open questions — what needs to be decided before work can start?
- Return the Note URL.
Important
Don't skip the context search in step 2. Surface conflicts with existing work before drafting, not after. The proposal is designed to feed directly into mt-note-to-project — write scope and task descriptions with implementation in mind. If the brief is too vague to write a meaningful scope section, ask the user to clarify before proceeding.
