Mt Task Breakdown

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.
