Task Master Viewer

Visual GUI for managing Task Master tasks.json files.

When to Use

Use when:

  • User asks to "view tasks visually", "open task editor", "launch GUI", or "see tasks in browser"
  • User wants to edit multiple tasks without typing commands
  • User needs to reorganize task hierarchy
  • CLI/MCP tools feel cumbersome

Don't use when:

  • User is comfortable with CLI (task-master list, etc.)
  • User wants to script or automate tasks
  • Headless/server environment without browser

Quick Start

1. Check Streamlit Installation

python -c "import streamlit" 2>/dev/null && echo "✓ Installed" || pip install -U streamlit

2. Launch Application

cd .claude/skills/task-master-viewer && streamlit run app.py

Output:

Local URL: http://localhost:8501

App opens automatically in user's browser.

3. Tell User

Best Practices

Do:

  • ✅ Check/install Streamlit before launching
  • ✅ Run from skill directory
  • ✅ Tell user the URL
  • ✅ Explain how to stop
  • ✅ Mention all instructions are in the app

Don't:

  • ❌ Leave running indefinitely
  • ❌ Launch multiple instances
  • ❌ Edit tasks.json while app is open
  • ❌ Explain features (app has help text)

Integration

Works alongside:

  • Task Master CLI commands
  • Task Master MCP tools
  • Direct JSON editing (use "🔄 Reload" button)
