Task breakdown

Use the MeisterTask MCP to decompose a goal or feature into a concrete task list in MeisterTask.

Workflow

  1. Gather the input:
    • The goal, feature, or deliverable to break down
    • Target project and section (or offer to create a new section)
    • Optional: due date, assignee, sub-task depth
  2. Identify the target project and section:
    • Use mt_projects_list and mt_sections_list.
    • If no section is specified, suggest an appropriate one or ask.
  3. Generate the breakdown:
    • Propose 5–10 concrete, actionable tasks.
    • For complex tasks, suggest a checklist rather than creating separate sub-tasks.
    • Confirm the list with the user before creating anything.
  4. Create tasks:
    • Try mt_batch_execute first (preferred for 3+ tasks).
    • If the batch call fails, fall back to individual mt_tasks_create calls.
  5. For tasks needing checklists, use mt_checklists_create followed by mt_checklist_items_create.
  6. Return a summary with task names and the project URL.

Important

Aim for tasks completable in a single work session. Push back on vague tasks like "research X" — prompt the user to define a specific deliverable.
